Preferiría morirme antes que ceder a una petición de este tipo.

I am hearing “antes de que ceder”…might be a text-to-speech problem?

English Translation

I’d rather die than yield to this sort of demand.

@r1czimmerman, tts is fine, maybe it’s confusing you because of the peninsular pronunciation, here c is spoken as θ, like th in English, similar enough to d to confuse a Spanish learner
