On a chilly pre-dawn morning, the singer pleads “Quédate” (Stay). She invites her partner to wait with her until daylight reveals her heart, bare and honest. Their voices intertwine, brushing her soul, and her own breath becomes the only witness to this private celebration of love. The night feels “abisal”, deep like an abyss, yet the presence of the other turns it into a safe, glowing space where doubts can be stripped away like clothes.
Throughout the chorus, the lover is the only person who can teach her “a volar cometas por el cielo”, to fly kites across the sky. The kite is a playful symbol of freedom, suggesting that together they can rise above earthly worries just like the sun or the sea’s horizon. Writing her name on the ground while they soar overhead shows a sweet contrast: their bodies may remain small to those who never dared to fly, but their connection is huge. In short, the song is an uplifting pledge of intimacy, trust, and shared adventure; when two hearts decide to stay, they discover the sky is not the limit but the starting point.
