After an extensive tour in southern Chile promoting the first album, Schmidt left the band while recording their 2nd album and the rest of the members decided to turn into other projects. The band returned in 2004 with the release of "Niño Planta", with all original members reunited, but after a few months they parted ways once again and the band went on hiatus, until 2008 when they reappeared without Fontecilla and Schmidt (the latter being replaced by Sebastián González on guitar) and released their last album "Arbólica", breaking-up in 2010.

Aire
Elso Tumbay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Detrás del sol
Y yo no fuí
Lo ví.
Y estoy aquí
Y por allá
Hoy puedo ver
Aireee.
Es donde voy
Adonde soy
Yo soy de aquí
Me fuí.
Y si me voy
Voy con el sol
La luna esta
Y el mar...
The lyrics of Elso Tumbay's song Aire seem to tell a story of the singer's journey towards self-discovery and spiritual growth. The first verse suggests that the singer has gone out in search of something, perhaps a deeper understanding of the world or of themselves. They acknowledge that they have not yet found what they are looking for, but are still searching.
The second verse brings a sense of clarity and realization as the singer says, "Today I can see, and today I am." It seems that the singer has found what they were looking for, or at least have made some kind of personal breakthrough. They sing of going towards the "air," a metaphor for freedom, transcendence, and spiritual enlightenment.
The last few lines of the song refer to the singer's willingness to move forward and let go of their past. They say that they will go with the sun and that the moon and the sea are still there, suggesting that the world will keep turning and life will continue on, even as the singer moves on to new things.
Overall, the song seems to be a celebration of personal growth and finding one's place in the world. It's a poetic and introspective journey that anyone can relate to.

Hoy salí
Today I ventured out
Detrás del sol
Following the sun's path
Y yo no fuí
I wasn't alone
Lo ví.

Y estoy aquí
And now, I'm here
Y por allá
And over there
Hoy puedo ver
Now I can see
Y hoy soy
And now, I exist
Aireee.
I am air
Es donde voy
It's where I'm headed
Adonde soy
Where I belong
Yo soy de aquí
I'm from here
Me fuí.
But I left
Y si me voy
And if I leave
Voy con el sol
I'll follow the sun
La luna esta
The moon is there
Y el mar...
And the sea...
