El Aire sweeps us into that breathless instant when love teeters on the edge of goodbye. Siddhartha sings about being almost split in two, almost becoming someone new, almost leaving altogether. The air itself feels heavy with unsaid words, while another person’s blood — a poetic image for the warmth that dries his tears — briefly returns his capacity to love before drifting away again.
The hypnotic chorus, repeating "Aire, antes de irnos, al despedirnos, hay que olvidar," acts like a mantra. It reminds us that, before parting, we sometimes need to let memories dissolve into thin air so we can breathe freely once more. The song blends melancholy and liberation, inviting listeners to release past sorrows and step forward lighter, just like exhaling after holding your breath for too long.
