Kudai is a Chilean pop rock group founded in Santiago, Chile. Its original members were Tomás Cañas, Pablo Holman, Nicole Natalino and Bárbara Sepúlveda. In 2006 Nicole Natalino left the group citing personal reasons, and was replaced by Ecuadorian Gabriela Villalba. The band's name comes from the Mapudungun word küdaw, meaning "work."

The group is hugely popular mostly among teenagers in South America, the Caribbean, Panamá, Central America, and Mexico, though they rank highly among teenagers in Canada, the United Kingdom and the United States as well.
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.
Kudai was nominated for "Best Artist—Central Region" and "Best New Artist—Central Region" in the MTV Video Music Awards Latin America 2005. They released their first DVD, which included their 2004-2005 Tour, in September 2005. They are successful all over South America and Mexico.
In 2006 they recorded their second album. It's single "Déjame Gritar" reached number 1 at Latin MTV's TRL "Los 10 + Pedidos". They also released a video for "Quiero Mis Quinces"
During their promotional tour Nicole Natalino left the group, and she was replaced temporarily by Gabriela Villalba, an ecuatorian singer who was part of an Ecuadorian group called "Kiruba". Gabriela was part of Kudai's tour opening act. Villalba became a permanent member of the group, and now contributes to the group's excellent trajectory.
They also perform the theme for the MTV Latin America's show "Quiero mis Quinces" (English:"My Super Sweet 15").
They re-record their second album after the defarture of Nicole Natalino and released on September 26 the new album featuring Gabriela's voice.
On October 19, 2006 the group won the MTV VMA Latin America award for "Best Pop Artist", which they dedicated to their fans and Nicole, ex-member of the group. After the success of the group, they were invited to the Viña del Mar Festival that was celebrated on February, 2007.

Morir De Amor
Kudai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yo por mi parte prefiero renunciar
Te vas porque quiero que escapes de este infierno
No puedo pactar con sangre nuestro final
Yo, no puedo, seguir con este juego
No quiero morir, de nuevo mil veces
Después de los dos no habrá (ni una palabra)
Después de morir por ti (y resucitar)
Ya nada queda, ya nada nos queda
Prefiero morir de amor (que vivir así)
Quisiera morir de amor
Que seguir agonizando entre tus brazos
No digas palabras que se las lleva el viento
No quieras jugar el fantasma que nunca se va
Quiero que salga de nuevo el sol invierno
Tal vez debería dormir sin despertar
Yo no puedo seguir con este juego
No quiero morir de nuevo mil veces,(de nuevo mil veces)
Después de los dos no habrá (ni una palabra)
Ya nada quedara (solo una lagrima)
Después de morir por ti (y resucitar)
Ya nada queda, ya nada nos queda
Prefiero morir de amor (que vivir así)
Quisiera morir de amor
Que seguir agonizando entre tus brazos
Después de los dos no habrá (ni una palabra)
Ya nada quedara (solo una lagrima)
Después de morir por ti (y resucitar)
Ya nada queda, ya nada nos queda
Prefiero morir de amor (que vivir así)
Quisiera morir de amor
Que seguir agonizando entre tus brazos
Después de los dos no habrá (ni una palabra)
Ya nada quedara (solo una lagrima)
Después de morir por ti (y resucitar)
Ya nada queda, ya nada nos queda
Prefiero morir de amor (que vivir así)
Quisiera morir de amor
Que seguir agonizando entre tus brazos
The lyrics to Kudai's song "Morir de Amor" are about a person who is ready to let go of their relationship and move on, even though it is painful to do so. The singer hopes that the other person will remember them, but they themselves are choosing to walk away. They want their partner to escape the "inferno" of their relationship and refuse to make a deal that will only result in their own demise. They cannot continue playing this game anymore and are afraid of dying "mil veces" or a thousand times over. The repetition of this phrase emphasizes the singer's fear and desperation.
The chorus repeats multiple times, and it talks about how there will be nothing left after their relationship has ended but tears. The singer would rather die of love than continue to suffer in their partner's embrace. They ask their partner not to say things that will be blown away by the wind and not to be a ghost that never leaves. The singer suggests that sleeping without waking up might be a better option than continuing to play this game.
Overall, the lyrics are full of desperation and sadness, highlighting the pain of ending a relationship even when it is for the best. The singer acknowledges the inevitability of the end and desires closure, even if it means walking away from the person they love.

Siempre he soñado el regreso de Kudai, espero se haga realidad ese sueño !!

Siempre que veo este video, lloro. En una epoca pasé por algo así, y me siento identificada con esas escenas en las que la chica se tapa las heridas. La idea esta muy bien explicada, y me gusta muchisimo que un grupo, a traves de sus videos, refleje problematicas sociales que no estan muy a la vista.
