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." Kudai split up in 2010 for a couple of years. Each member of the band has decided that it is time for a break and they are off to do something of their own.
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.

Kudai Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que aún es temprano
Debo despertar
De noche acabar
Miro al cielo
Why ya es anochecer
Un cielo negro como el agua de tu amor
[Coro]
Why volar, ver el mar
Why en tus besos sentir flotar mi cuerpo
No, si tu caes yo desapareceré
Why volar, ver el mar
Why en tu cuerpo sentir mi libertad
No, esta historia nunca deberá acabar
No, talvez podamos volar
Volar...
De noche al fin
Tu estas aquí
Despues de tanto tiempo es hora de sentir
Son mis besos la humedad
Que inundará tu noche con mi libertad
Caeré en la luz de anochecer
why hoy puedo volar, why hoy puedo besar
Un cielo negro como el agua de tu amor
[Coro]
Why volar, ver el mar
Why en tus besos sentir flotar mi cuerpo
No, si tu caes yo desapareceré
Why volar, ver el mar
Why en tu cuerpo sentir mi libertad
No, esta historia nunca deberá acabar
No, talvez podamos volar
Volar...
Dame tu mano
Que aún es temprano
Why volar... volar
The lyrics to Kudai's song "Volar" depict a desire for freedom and escape from the constraints of everyday life. The song begins with the singer requesting their partner's hand, indicating a need for connection and support. They feel the need to wake up from their current state and finish the night with a sense of liberation. The singer looks up into the dark sky, marveling at its beauty and realizing that they can fly and kiss freely in this moment. The darkness of the night is compared to the depth of their partner's love.
In the chorus, the singer reiterates their desire to fly and see the ocean, to feel weightless in their lover's kisses, and to never let this moment end. The idea of disappearing if their partner falls suggests a dependence on them for this freedom. The second verse speaks of the singer finally being with their partner after a long time and the importance of feeling their kisses to fully experience their own freedom. The metaphor of their kisses as watery liberation against the dark sky is repeated, emphasizing their desire for escape and release from the mundane.
Overall, "Volar" portrays a yearning for escape and freedom, both physically and emotionally, to be with the person they love.

Y pensar que esta canción iba ser uno de los 4 singles oficiales que estaban programados para el álbum Sobrevive, el tercero o cuarto, incluso venía la versión acústica en el álbum, pero lamentablemente se descartó ante la salida de Nicole y los cambios de planes con el grupo y la reedición del disco, la versión con Gabriela no quedó bien y la canción se perdió totalmente, es una de las mejores del disco y quedó perdida en el tiempo, habría sido un éxito si hubiera sido lanzada a las radios y con video incluido :(
