Independent like the air

Descemer Bueno

Micha; Enrique Iglesias

I don't want this night to pass and end for us

I want it to be endless

She knows how to get into my head

Gently she de-stresses me

She knows what buttons to push with me

Because she has the power and magic to impress me

When I'm with her it's like

Drinking all the passion in the bottle

When she surrenders, I fall drunk

Drunk on love in her arms

When she kisses me, her taste takes me to heaven

And I get lost in her universe

I take a one-way trip with no return

And I ask her, "Let's go even further"

We started on the floor

And we took flight

You and I went far, far away

You and I went far

We started on the floor (we started on the floor)

And we took flight (and we took flight)

You and I went far, far away

You and I went far

I want feelings to win tonight

May they keep rising, free like the wind

She knows how to make me fall in love

She knows how to please me and she entertains me

She knows what buttons to push with me

Because she has the power and magic to impress me

When I'm with her it's like

Drinking all the passion in the bottle

When she surrenders, I fall drunk

Drunk on love in her arms

When she kisses me, her taste takes me to heaven

And I get lost in her universe

I take a one-way trip with no return

And I ask her, "Let's go even further"

We started on the floor

And we took flight

You and I went far, far away

You and I went far

We started on the floor (we started on the floor)

And we took flight (and we took flight)

You and I went far, far away

You and I went far

Micha!

We went far

No stopover, no luggage

No Customs so you're not left wanting more

If you don't open the door for me, I'll sneak in through the window

If your name is "Eve," don't hide the apple from me

It's not a little, baby, I have a lot, plenty

That with daddy, you don't fear the darkness

It's that we started on the floor, the bed, and then the sofa

And I'll save the bathroom in case you ask for more

We started on the floor (on the floor)

And we took flight (we took flight)

You and I went far, far away

You and I went far (far)

We started on the floor (we started on the floor)

And we took flight (and we took flight)

You and I went far, far away

You and I went far (far)

We started on the floor (on the floor)

And we took flight (and we took flight)

You and I went far, far away

You and I went far

...

Independiente' como el aire

Micha; Enrique Iglesia'

No quiero que esta noche pase y se nos acabe

Quiero que sea interminable

Ella sabe entrar en mi cabeza

Con delicadeza me des-estresa

Ella sabe qué botón tocarme

Porque tiene el poder y la magia para impresionarme

Cuando yo estoy con ella es como

Beberme entera la pasión en la botella

Cuando ella se entrega yo caigo borracho

Borracho de amor en sus brazos

Cuando ella me da un beso su sabor me sube al cielo

Y yo me pierdo en su universo

Me llevo un viaje de ida sin regreso

Y yo le pido "Vámono' más lejo'"

Empezamos en el suelo

Y levantamos vuelo

Tú y yo nos fuimos lejo', lejo'

Tú y yo nos fuimos lejo'

Empezamos en el suelo (empezamos en el suelo)

Y levantamos vuelo (y levantamos vuelo)

Tú y yo nos fuimos lejo', lejo'

Tú y yo nos fuimos lejo'

Yo quiero que esta noche ganen los sentimientos

Que sigan subiendo, libres como el viento

Ella sabe cómo enamorarme

Sabe complacerme y me divierte

Ella sabe qué botón tocarme

Porque tiene el poder y la magia para impresionarme

Cuando yo estoy con ella es como

Beberme entera la pasión en la botella

Cuando ella se entrega yo caigo borracho

Borracho de amor en sus brazos

Cuando ella me da un beso su sabor me sube al cielo

Y yo me pierdo en su universo

Me llevo un viaje de ida sin regreso

Y yo le pido "Vámono' más lejo'"

Empezamos en el suelo

Y levantamos vuelo

Tú y yo nos fuimos lejo', lejo'

Tú y yo nos fuimos lejo'

Empezamos en el suelo (empezamos en el suelo)

Y levantamos vuelo (y levantamos vuelo)

Tú y yo nos fuimos lejo', lejo'

Tú y yo nos fuimos lejo'

¡Micha!

Nos fuimo' lejo'

Sin escala, sin equipaje

Sin Aduana pa' que no te quede' con las ganas

Que si no me abres la puerta me cuelo por la ventana

Que si tú te llamas "Eva" no me escondas la manzana

Que no es poquito, papi, yo tengo mucho, cantidá'

Que con papito tú no le temes a la oscuridá'

Es que empezamos en el suelo, la cama y después el sofá

Y me reservo el baño por si pide' má'

Empezamos en el suelo (en el suelo)

Y levantamos vuelo (levantamo' vuelo)

Tú y yo nos fuimos lejo', lejo'

Tú y yo nos fuimos lejo' (lejo')

Empezamos en el suelo (empezamos en el suelo)

Y levantamos vuelo (y levantamos vuelo)

Tú y yo nos fuimos lejo', lejo'

Tú y yo nos fuimos lejo' (lejo')

Empezamos en el suelo (en el suelo)

Key Grammar Structures

• No quiero que esta noche pase y se nos acabe

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood (after verbs of desire/influence)

  ➔ The verbs "pase" and "acabe" are in the subjunctive mood because they follow "quiero que" (I want that), which expresses a wish or desire. This structure is common for influencing or expressing feelings about an action.

• Ella sabe qué botón tocarme

  ➔ Reflexive Pronoun with Infinitive & Embedded Question

  ➔ The pronoun "me" is attached to the infinitive "tocar" (to touch), meaning "to touch me." The word "qué" introduces an embedded or indirect question, common in Spanish.

• Porque tiene el poder y la magia para impresionarme

  ➔ "Para" + Infinitive (Purpose)

  ➔ The phrase "para impresionarme" uses "para" followed by an infinitive to express purpose, meaning "in order to impress me." The "-me" is a reflexive pronoun meaning "myself" or "me."

• Cuando ella se entrega yo caigo borracho

  ➔ Reflexive Verb ("Entregarse")

  ➔ "Se entrega" is the reflexive verb "entregarse" (to surrender oneself, to give oneself). The reflexive pronoun "se" indicates that the action is performed by the subject upon itself.

• Cuando ella me da un beso su sabor me sube al cielo

  ➔ Indirect Object Pronoun

  ➔ The pronoun "me" in "me da" (gives me) is an indirect object pronoun. It indicates who receives the action of the verb "dar" (to give).

• Tú y yo nos fuimos lejo', lejo'

  ➔ Preterite Tense & Reflexive 'Nos' (Movement)

  ➔ "Fuimos" is the preterite tense of "ir" (to go), indicating a completed action in the past. The reflexive pronoun "nos" in "nos fuimos" often implies a movement away from a place, or simply "we went."

• Que si no me abres la puerta me cuelo por la ventana

  ➔ Conditional Sentence Type 1 (Real Conditional)

  ➔ This is a Type 1 conditional sentence, expressing a real or probable condition. "Si no me abres" (If you don't open for me) presents the condition, and "me cuelo" (I sneak in) is the likely result. Both verbs are in the present indicative.

• Y yo le pido "Vámono' más lejo'"

  ➔ Informal Imperative ('Nosotros' form)

  ➔ "Vámono'" is a colloquial and shortened form of "vámonos" (let's go), which is the imperative form of "ir" for "nosotros." The final 's' is often dropped in informal speech. The "le" is an indirect object pronoun.

• Y me reservo el baño por si pide' má'

  ➔ "Por si" + Verb (In case of)

  ➔ The phrase "por si" means "in case" or "just in case." It introduces a clause that explains the reason for taking a precaution or making a reservation, for example, "por si pide'" (in case you ask).
