Biography.-

Kudai was formed in the year 2000, when a band of children was put together to sing tribute songs of Italian hits of the '80s. This band was called "Ciao", and produced only one disc with relative success. Afterwards, they begun to perform group-submitted songs and musical interpretation of diverse instruments and changed their name to "Kudai". This word comes from the mapudungun kudau (meaning young worker). Kudai released their first album "VUELO" (Spanish for flight) in 2004, and their first single "Sin Despertar" quickly escalated to the first places of Chilean music rankings. Soon they released their second single "Ya Nada Queda", which achieved great success as did their third single "Escapar". "VUELO" became platinum in August 2005.

Abismo
Kudai Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Déjame pedirte un deseo,
Te quedes un momento
Estoy perdiéndote
Es así, somos como un desierto,
Sin agua sin aliento
Para sobrevivir

Tu amor me hace entrar

En medio del abismo
Tu amor me hace entrar
Sabes bien que es así
Lo supe desde siempre

Déjame pedirte otro deseo,
Me esperes un momento
Estás perdiéndome
Sale el sol, pero no amanece,
No hay agua bajo el puente
Tampoco en mi alma

Tu amor me hace entrar
En medio del abismo
Tu amor me hace entrar
Sabes bien que es así
Lo supe desde siempre

Espero tu voz, cada minuto,
Por siempre, por siempre

Tu amor me hace entrar
En medio del abismo
Tu amor me hace entrar

Sabes bien que es así
Lo supe desde siempre.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kudai's song Abismo talk about a love that is fading away and the desperation that comes with it. The singer is asking their love interest to stay for a moment and fulfill their wish of not leaving them. They compare their love to a desert without water or air, making it impossible to survive. Despite this, the love they share pulls them both into the depths of an abyss.

The singer pleads with their love interest once again, asking them to wait for a moment because they are losing them. The sun rises, but it does not bring any hope as there is no water under the bridge, nor in their soul. They continue to hold on to their love and ask for their companion's voice every minute, hoping for it to last forever.

The main themes in this song are lost love, desperation, and hope. The lyrics suggest that even though the relationship is falling apart, the singer has not given up hope and believes in the power of their love to bring them back together. The imagery of a desert and an abyss creates a sense of emptiness and loneliness, emphasizing the pain and isolation the singer is feeling.
