Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Antes Que El Mundo Se Acabe by Residente from Spanish to English.

I don't know when the dance floor will be free

For now it's time to open the windows

And get as far as our sight takes us

When will we go out again? Nobody knows that

Better, for now let's give each other a kiss before the world ends

With your lips I hear how the sea waves sound

And my feet get filled with sand since the quarantine

Not even the strongest pandemic that's killing people

Separates me from you

That's why with you, social distance doesn't work

And if you're far it doesn't matter

Because the afternoon light unites us

From near or far you boost my immune system

And if the moon is left without night

And the mornings are left without birds

Better, for now let's give each other a kiss

Before the world ends

We are supportive by nature

That's why when I yawn, you yawn

That's why I protect you and you protect me

That's why we share the air that we breathe

From the same axis

I know that the future is uncertain

But even if they close borders

They won't be able to close the open sea

Soon we'll go out

To leave our footprints on the ground

Over the clouds of snow

Under the lakes of sky

To feel the sun that vaccinates us

Next to the water that wets us

Under waterfalls that cry

In front of a jungle of leaves

Among the forests of flowers

Of different sizes

The rainbows that paint

The seasons of the year

Like the colors of clothes

In full movement

That hang on the balconies

So that the wind dries them

And the gaze of history

That wants to keep telling

That even though we fight

We understand each other by dancing

We lost the center

Before going back outside

We have to go back inside

And let everything be different

And let the truth never surrender

Even the pretty things

Should be prettier

And if this is the end

We'll find its beauty

Maybe in reality

Now is when everything begins

Who knows?

But, for now let's give each other a kiss

Before the world ends

For now let's give each other a kiss

Before the world ends

And if you're far it doesn't matter

Because the afternoon light unites us

From near or far

You boost my immune system

And if the moon is left without night

And the mornings are left without birds

Better, for now let's give each other a kiss

Before the world ends

SONG MEANING

Antes Que El Mundo Se Acabe is Residente’s heartfelt postcard from the 2020 lockdown. Over a gently pulsing beat, the Puerto Rican artist turns quarantine loneliness into a global love letter, reminding us that even when borders close and streets fall silent, affection can still travel farther than any airplane. He imagines sharing a kiss that defies social distance, a simple act that reconnects us with crashing waves, sandy feet, and sunsets that boost our immune systems better than any medicine.

At its core, the song celebrates solidarity by nature: yawns that sync, breaths that mingle, and a planet whose oceans never shut down. Residente dreams of the day we can plant our footprints on snowy clouds, dance under rainbow-painted skies, and let waterfalls wash away yesterday’s fears. Until that day arrives, he invites listeners to find beauty in the present moment, to believe that every ending hides the seed of a new beginning—and to seal that promise with a kiss before the world “ends,” or rather, before a brand-new one starts.
