Modify previous and next text from pagination links

I found out a way that you can place any text. You just need to create an array where you want the paginate_links to appear.

<!-- Put this in your functions.php -->
<?php $args = array(
   'base'               => '%_%',
   'format'             => '?paged=%#%',
   'total'              => 1,
   'current'            => 0,
   'show_all'           => false,
   'end_size'           => 1,
   'mid_size'           => 2,
   'add_args'           => false,
   'add_fragment'       => '',
   'before_page_number' => '',
   'after_page_number'  => ''); ?>

<!-- Put this where you want the paginate_links to appear -->
<?php echo paginate_links( array(

  'prev_text' => '<span>Any text Previous</span>',
  'next_text' => '<span>Any text Next</span>'

)); ?>
