Antes Que El Mundo Se Acabe Lyrics in English Residente

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
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.
