Translation: "Happy, and breathless, I looked up"

- **Contento**: "happy," "content." Indicates joy or satisfaction.
- **y**: "and."
- **sin**: "without."
- **aliento**: "breath." With "sin" it forms the phrase "sin aliento" → "out of breath, breathless."
- **miré**: past tense of "mirar" – "I looked."
- **hacia**: "towards."
- **arriba**: "up, above." Together, "hacia arriba" = "upward" or simply "up."

Figurative note: The singer is so overwhelmed with positive emotion that he feels literally "breathless" and instinctively looks up to the sky, preparing the listener for the celestial imagery that follows in the next lines.
