And may they always receive peace from me, a lot of peace

But above all, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot

Verse 1

One day good, the other bad

That's life and that's not going to change

Sometimes to smile you have to cry

Close your eyes and learn to fly

Chorus 1

And before all this ends

I'm going to live my life, if I die, it's happy

And today I want alcohol and sex in excess

To give you problems, I better give you a kiss

Or: Instead of giving you problems, I'd rather give you a kiss

And before all this ends

I'm going to live my life, if I die, it's happy

And today I want alcohol and sex in excess

To give you problems, I better give you a kiss

Go ahead, go ahead

Postchorus 1

To give you problems, I better give you a kiss

Before it ends

Everything I'm going to live to cry, I'm going to live

Verse 2

A shot of love for the house, I invite

Or: A shot of love for the house on me

To celebrate that we breathe that smoke

Crying has never been a crime

And the rainy days are sometimes the most beautiful

But today the sun came out and I feel better

The bad passed, time is my doctor

Life is a movie, I'm my own director

Light up light up

And bring me the alcohol

Because I don't have time to hold grudges

I don't pick fights anymore, especially if there is alcohol

Embrace your brother and don't look at the color

Because here we're all equal

How much you love, that's what you're worth

Today I'm going to do a trick on the longboard

But if I don't succeed

Chorus 2

Before all this ends

I'm going to live my life, if I die, it's happy

And today I want alcohol and sex in excess

To give you problems, I better give you a kiss

And before all this ends

I'm going to live my life, if I die, it's happy

And today I want alcohol and sex in excess

To give you problems, I better give you a kiss

Before it ends

Everything I'm going to live to cry, I'm going to live

Love

Rencor — Grudge / Resentment

Rencor translates to 'grudge', 'resentment', or 'bitterness'. It is a strong, expressive noun used to describe holding onto past pain or anger instead of moving forward.

In the lyrics, Bad Bunny sings, "Que no tengo tiempo pa' guardar rencor" (I don't have time to hold a grudge). By pairing it with the verb guardar (to keep or store), he highlights the mental toll of storing up negative energy, ultimately urging listeners to let go and live freely before their time runs out.

Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny kicks off "ANTES QUE SE ACABE" with a classic Latin pop-culture nod: he mimics Walter Mercado's famous astrological sign-off, wishing everyone peace and mucho, mucho amor. From there, the track turns into an honest pep talk about surviving tough times. Bad Bunny shrugs off bad days with a simple truth: "Un día bien, al otro mal / Así es la vida y eso no va a cambiar" ("One day good, the next day bad / That's life and that won't change"). Instead of pretending everything is fine, he normalizes feeling down, reminding you that "Llorar nunca ha sido un delito" ("Crying has never been a crime") and that rainy days can actually be pretty nice.

The real punch of the song is its urgent call to enjoy life while you still have breath left. He declares "antes que se acabe to' esto / Voy a vivir mi vida, si me muero es contento" ("before all this ends / I'm going to live my life, if I die I'm happy"), choosing loud parties, kisses instead of fights, and a whole lot of drinks over holding grudges. He drops everyday Caribbean slang like "Ya no cojo lucha" (literally "I don't catch a fight anymore," which means he is not stressing or sweating the small stuff), treats time as his doctor, and tries out a trick on his longboard without caring if he bails. It is direct, warm, and tells you to hug the people around you because your worth comes down to how much you love.
