Before the Next Teardrop Falls was recorded by Freddy Fender and became a major hit in 1975. The song speaks about offering solace and support to a lost love, even if she finds comfort in someone else. It was emblematic for its mix of English and Spanish, appealing to both country and Latino audiences.
If he brings you happiness, then I wish you both the best It's your happiness that matters most of all But if he ever breaks your heart, if the teardrops ever start
I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
Si te quiere de verdad, y te da felicidad Te deseo lo mas bueno pa'los dos Pero si te hace llorar, a mi me puedes hablar
Y estare contigo cuando triste estas
I'll be there anytime you need me by your side To dry away every teardrop that you cry
And if he ever leaves you blue, just remember, I love you
And I'll be there before the next teardrop falls / (3rd Fret) And I'll be there before the next teardrop falls
