El Alma Al Aire Lyrics in English Alejandro Sanz

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Alma Al Aire by Alejandro Sanz from Spanish to English.
I want the air that your soul has
I want the air that, that lives in you
I want the air, air that you spill
Air to love you, air to live
I want the air that your soul has
I want the air that, that lives in you
I want the air, air that you spill
Air to love you, air to live
I have a soul or I had one
And it isn't enough
You already know, as much you have, that's how much you're worth
I have a soul and it defies
Your walk
It is the landscape where my fantasy floats
And I climb up to your waist but it's so early
The dreams that come true are so rare
The air brushes the words that don't taste right
From your eyes, your gaze
For your walk and your gaze
I have stolen the soul from the air
To give it to you in this sigh
I am like the earth, love
You are the sun
That doesn't let itself be seen, it can't be, how is it going to be
I have stolen the soul from the air
So I can bring you here with me
I am like the earth, love
You are the sun
That doesn't let itself be seen, it can't be, how is it going to be
How is it going to be
I want the air that your soul has
I want the air that, that lives in you
I want the air, air that you spill
Air to love you, air to live
I'm afraid of a cold soul
How much is it worth?
To buy the soul from the air if it gets careless
Softly, softly you take it away
Your walk
Oh girl, ah ah, show your walk
Because the madness of my lips has no cure
Now nothing in this life seems strange to me
The soul gently brushes the world on our skin
In my life to walk
And from your life, girl, what can't be seen
And I have stolen the soul from the air
To give it to you in this sigh
I am like the earth, love
You are the sun
That doesn't let itself be seen, it can't be, how is it going to be
I have stolen the soul from the air
So I can bring you here with me
I am like the earth, love
You are the sun
That doesn't let itself be seen, it can't be, how is it going to be
And I climb up to your waist but it's so early
From your eyes, your gaze
Your walk, girl, and your freedom
I have stolen the soul from the air
To give it to you in this sigh
I am like the earth, love
You are the sun
That doesn't let itself be seen, it can't be, how is it going to be
I have stolen the soul from the air
So I can bring you here with me
I am like the earth, love
You are the sun
That doesn't let itself be seen, it can't be, how is it going to be
I have stolen the soul from the air
To give it to you in this sigh
I am like the earth, love
You are the sun
The soul to the air, your way of walking in me
I have stolen the soul from the air
So I can bring you here with me
I am like the earth, love
You are the sun
That doesn't let itself be seen, it can't be, how is it going to be
I have stolen the soul from the air
To give it to you in this sigh
I am like the earth, love
You are the sun
That doesn't let itself be seen, it can't be, how is it going to be
I have stolen the soul from the air
So I can bring you here with me
I want the air, girl
From your hips
That doesn't let itself be seen, it can't be, how is it going to be
I have stolen the soul from the air
To give it to you in this sigh
I am like the earth, love
You are the sun
That doesn't let itself be seen, it can't be, how is it going to be
I have stolen the soul from the air
So I can bring you here with me

SONG MEANING

El Alma Al Aire is a poetic love proclamation where Alejandro Sanz tries to bottle the very air that surrounds the person he adores. Each line pulses with the idea that love is something invisible yet essential, like oxygen. He pictures himself as the earth and his beloved as the elusive sun, highlighting how important she is for his world to flourish even if she sometimes hides behind clouds. By saying he has “stolen the soul from the air,” Sanz confesses he would bend the laws of nature just to keep her spirit close and hand it back to her in a single sigh.

Beyond the sweeping romance, the song also speaks to vulnerability. The singer worries about “a cold soul,” fears dreams that rarely come true, and marvels at how her walk, her gaze, and her freedom rescue him from monotony. All of these details paint a portrait of love as both salvation and gentle madness. In short, “El Alma Al Aire” is an airy, flamenco-tinged reminder that when we fall in love, we do not simply want a person’s presence. We crave the very essence that makes them breathe, dream, and shine.
