Se que son mis amigos buenos, y yo no quiero hacer ustedes enojado, así que podemos beber un poco de champán ahora antes de que las burbujas se han ido.”
Could someone please help me translate this sentence because it really leaves me clueless. Thanks!

I know that you(plural) are my good friends, and I don't want to make you (pl) mad so let's drink a little champagne now, before it goes flat. ( before the bubbles have gone).

Shouldn't antes de que be followed by the subjunctive?
"..antes de que las burbujas se hayan ido/se vayan".
Many thanks for the opinion of advanced/native speakers.

Sheily, you´re right. Also "buenos amigos" sounds more natural and correct form - "hacerles a Uds. enojar" or "hacerles enojar" or "hacerles enojar a Uds." - 005faa61, May 27, 2013
