Verse 1
How I would like
To be able to live without air
How I would like
To be able to live without water
I would love
To love you a little less
How I would like
To be able to live without you
Prechorus 1
But I can't
I feel like I'm dying
I'm drowning without your love
Chorus 1
How I would like to live without air
How I would like to calm my affliction
How I would like to live without water
I would love to steal your heart
Verse 2
How could
A fish swim without water
How could
A bird fly without wings
How could
A flower grow without soil
How I would like
To be able to live without you
Prechorus 2
But I can't
I feel like I'm dying
I'm drowning without your love
Chorus 2
How I would like to live without air
How I would like to calm my affliction
How I would like to live without water
I would love to steal your heart
How I would like to throw you into oblivion
How I would like to keep you in a drawer
How I would like to erase you with a blow
I would love to kill this song

SONG MEANING

“Vivir Sin Aire” is a passionate confession where Maná compares lost love to the impossible idea of living without air or water. Each line stacks vivid images: a fish without water, a bird without wings, a flower without soil. These comparisons paint the singer’s desperation—he feels he is drowning, gasping, unable to survive without the person he loves.

While the melody glides with Latin pop warmth, the lyrics reveal a tug-of-war between desire and frustration. The singer dreams of forgetting, locking the memory away, even “killing” the song itself, yet the heart refuses to let go. This track captures the universal struggle of trying to move on when every breath still belongs to someone else, making it an unforgettable anthem for anyone who knows the ache of impossible love.
