Antes De Irme Lyrics in English by Beéle, Ozuna
Acicale is a stylish word that means "grooming" or "sprucing up". It comes from the verb acicalarse, which means to get all dressed up and make yourself look sharp, often to impress someone.
In the song, Beéle sings, "Yo sabiendo que tú vienes, ando con porte y acicale" (Knowing you're coming, I walk with poise and style). He uses acicale to paint a picture of him putting in extra effort to look his best, hoping to catch the eye of the person he's singing to before they have to leave.
Antes De Irme is all about running out of time at a party and trying to lock in a kiss before heading home. Colombian artist Beéle and Ozuna are obsessed with someone on the dance floor, and neither wants the night to end empty-handed. Beéle admits right away that he is doing a terrible job playing it cool: "Estoy intentando / Que no se note que más me estás gustando" ("I'm trying not to let it show that I'm liking you more"). Then he drops some great local Caribbean slang from Colombia: "Tú coqueta, yo bien coleto" ("You're flirtatious, I'm super unruly/rough"). Calling himself coleto sets up a fun contrast between her polished charm and his messy, street-smart edge.
The clock is ticking, and the demand is simple: "No me daría igual / Que pueda irme sin primero tus labios besar" ("It wouldn't be the same to me if I leave without kissing your lips first"). Ozuna backs that up by matching the flirtation with his own preparation, saying he got dressed up with "porte y acicale" ("style and grooming") just because he knew she was showing up. Even if she has a situation waiting back home ("Aunque tengas algo afuera" / "Even if you have something outside"), they offer total secrecy: "aquí nadie va a saber" ("nobody here is going to know"). It is bold, sweaty, and totally fixated on that one final dance before walking out the door.
