Lyrics of
Before The Next Teardrop Falls

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
