Verse 1
I didn't call to ask for a song
But to talk to her I don't have another option
Because I call and probably she's listening
I face-to-face don't even dare to start this conversation
Or: I don't even date to start this conversation in front of her
Prechorus 1
I'm in love
And she hasn't noticed
Fifteen minutes of fame
For one by her side
Or: For the guy by her side
Chorus 1
I want her to know that I fell in love
Note that many of the verbs in this song, like 'sepa', 'suene', 'escuche', 'recuerde', are in the subjunctive tense, which is a tense used in Spanish to talk about situations of doubt or uncertainty
That she's listening to me
And that through the radio my air kisses reach
Or: And that through the radio my kisses reach the air
I want that before another song plays
Or she changes the station
She listens through the radio to my air kisses
Verse 2
If thanks to a friend I met her
And because of destiny I never saw her again
May this enamoured voice remind her from somewhere
And if she hears it on the radio, she remembers me
Prechorus 2
I'm in love
And she hasn't noticed
Fifteen minutes of fame
For one by her side
Chorus 2
I want her to know that I fell in love
Note that many of the verbs in this song, like 'sepa', 'suene', 'escuche', 'recuerde', are in the subjunctive tense, which is a tense used in Spanish to talk about situations of doubt or uncertainty
That she's listening to me
And that through the radio my air kisses reach
I want that before another song plays
Or she changes the station
She listens through the radio to my air kisses
And if she can't hear
Chorus 3
I want her to know that I fell in love
That she's listening to me
And that through the radio my air kisses reach
I want that before another song plays
Or she changes the station
She listens through the radio to my air kisses
That she listens through the radio to my air kisses

SONG MEANING
Imagine being so head-over-heels that you dial a live radio show just to beam your feelings through the speakers. That is exactly what happens in Al Aire. The shy protagonist has no courage to confess face to face, so he trades his “fifteen minutes of fame” for the hope that she is somewhere, headphones on, catching his voice as he sends “besos al aire” — kisses floating through the airwaves. Every lyric vibrates with sweet anxiety, turning the radio into both cupid and confessional.
Morat’s folk-pop warmth wraps this quirky love plan in bright guitars and sing-along hooks. Beneath the playful surface lies a universal message: sometimes love demands a leap, even if that leap is nothing more than a phone call and a song request. With a wink and a wistful sigh, Al Aire celebrates the courage it takes to speak up before the next song — or the next moment — slips away.
