Zayra Alvarez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Viene tu mirada y juega con la mía y me parte a la mitad.
Sin querer te vi, queriendo ignorar que...
No tienes anillo, no tienes amiga. No eres nada familiar.
Me paro en la silla a ver si me miras y me muestras la señal.
Que puedo yo hacer? Tengo que esperarte...
Siento aire que me condena. Me mata la curisidad. Hay que mal me...
No quiero comida, no quiero bebida, no te dejo de pensar.
Y ensayo el personaje para cuando llames me comporte natural.
Ya te descubrí y aprendo a buscarte.
Y siento aire que me acelera. Me mata la curiosidad. Hay que mal me va!
Siento aire que me condena. Me mata la curiosidad. Hay que mal me va!
Aire que en mis venas siento que me quema. Siento una pereza que me desespera. Quisiera ingnorarla. Quisiera olvidarte.
Aire que es caliente, que crece y se extiende. Sólo de pensarlo me llena de espanto. Es essa corriente, me hace diferente.
Aire que me acelera. Me mata la curiosidad. Hay que mal me va!
Aire que me condena. Me mata la curiosidad, hay que mal me va!
Aire que me condena. Me mata la curiosidad, hay que mal me va!
Aire. Aire. Me hace diferente...

The lyrics of Zayra Alvarez's song Aire depict the feelings of someone who is intensely attracted to another person. The opening lines suggest that the person comes into her life very quickly, catching her off guard but immediately catching her attention. She seems puzzled by her attraction to this person, as she describes how her usual defenses against romantic interest, such as looking for a wedding ring or a sign that they are already involved with someone else, simply don't apply in this case. She can't help but be drawn towards this person even though it's clear that pursuing them could be dangerous or harmful to her.
