About Antes de las Seis

"Antes de las Seis" (English: "Before Six O'Clock") is a song recorded by Colombian singer-songwriter Shakira for her ninth studio album Sale el Sol (2010). Written and produced by the singer and her frequent collaborator Lester Mendez, "Antes de las Seis" is one of the "romantic" songs from the album and is musically a Latin pop ballad. It features a simple piano and acoustic guitar-supplemented beat over which Shakira delivers sad and emotional vocals. Epic Records released the song as the fourth single from Sale el Sol on 21 October 2011. Critics gave positive reviews to "Antes de las Seis", complimenting its lyrical content. The song performed poorly on singles charts, but was moderately successful on airplay charts. It reached number 1 on the Spanish Airplay Chart and peaked at number 14 on the Monitor Latino chart in Mexico. In the United States, it peaked at numbers 21 and 4 on the Billboard Hot Latin Songs and Latin Pop Airplay charts, respectively. In 2013, "Antes de las Seis" was certified gold in Mexico.

No actúes tan extraño
Duro como una roca
Si te mostré pedazos de piel
Que la luz del sol aún no toca
Y tantos lunares que ni yo misma conocía
Te mostré mi fuerza bruta
Mi talón de Alquiles, mi poesía

Que harás solo una historia más
Que haré si no te vuelvo a ver
Oh, oh

Si desde el día en que no estás
Vi la noche llegar mucho antes de las seis
Si desde el día en que no estás
Vi la noche llegar mucho antes de las seis
Mucho antes

No dejes el barco
Tanto antes de que zarpemos
Hacia alguna isla desierta
Y después, después veremos
Si me ves desarmada
Porque lanzas tus misiles
Si ya conoces mis puntos cardinales
Los más sensibles y sútiles

Que harás la vida lo dirá
Que haré si no te vuelvo a ver
Oh, oh

Si desde el día en que no estás
Vi la noche llegar mucho antes de las seis
Si desde el día en que no estás
Vi la noche llegar mucho antes de las seis

Mucho antes de las seis

Ah, ah, ah

Mucho antes de las seis

Mucho antes
