Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Aire by Mecano from Spanish to English.
Una noche de resaca al tratar de despertar
A hungover night trying to wake up
Note que por el ombligo me empezaba a desinflar
I noticed that my navel was beginning to deflate
Que mi cuerpo se arrugaba como un papel vegetal
That my body was wrinkled like a vegetable paper
E iba pasando, que curioso, al estado gaseoso
And it was passing, how curious, to the gaseous state
Y tras la metamorfosis me sentí mucho mejor
And after the metamorphosis I felt much better
Era un aire gris oscuro y con bastante polucion
It was a dark gray air and quite polluted
Se notaba en cualquier caso que era aire de ciudad
In any case, you could tell that it was city air
Que si bien no es el mas sano, lo prefiere el ser humano
Although it is not the healthiest, human beings prefer it
Aire, soñé por un momento que era aire
Air, I dreamed for a moment that I was air
Aire. oxigeno. nitrógeno y argón
Air. oxygen. nitrogen and argon
Sin forma definida ni color
Without defined shape or color
Fui aire volador
I was flying air
Como yo soy muy consciente hasta en esta situación
As I am very aware even in this situation
Decidí ser consecuente con mi nueva dimensión
I decided to be consistent with my new dimension
Y probé a ser respirado por la que duerme a mi lado
And I tried to be breathed by the one who sleeps next to me
Sin entrar en pormenores yo se hacer cosas mejores
Without going into details I know how to do better things
Como no me satisfizo la experiencia sexual
Since the sexual experience did not satisfy me
Se me inflaron los vapores, me convertí en huracán
My vapors inflated, I became a hurricane
Di unas tres o cuatro vueltas y a la quinta me canse
I did about three or four laps and on the fifth one I got tired
Este cuarto es muy pequeño para las cosas que sueño
This room is too small for the things I dream about
Aire, soñé por un momento que era aire
Air, I dreamed for a moment that I was air
Aire, oxigeno, nitrógeno y argón
Air, oxygen, nitrogen and argon
Sin forma definida ni color
Without defined shape or color
Fui aire volador
I was flying air
Y lo siento por mi novia y el cristal que me cargue
And I'm sorry for my girlfriend and the glass I carried
Me escape por la ventana y en picado me lance
I escaped through the window and dived
Pero tuve mala suerte y cuando iba a remontar
But I had bad luck and when I was going to come back
Me volví otra vez humano, no faltéis al funeral
I became human again, don't miss the funeral
Aire, soñé por un momento que era aire
Air, I dreamed for a moment that I was air
Aire. oxigeno, nitrógeno y argón
Air. oxygen, nitrogen and argon
Sin forma definida ni color
Without defined shape or color
Fui aire volador
I was flying air
