Here's where it comes from if it helps any..i'm completely lost!
"No te prometo amor eterno
por que no puedo,
soy tripulante de una nube
aventurero"

tripulante is a crew member of a ship, plane, etc.
A song should never be taken literally. It looks here as if he is saying that he is travelling in a cloud from one place to the other. An adventurer.

Yes, "tripulante" is a crew's member. "Los tripulantes del barco" means the boat's crew. In this case, it says:
I cannot promise eternal love
I'm a vagabound cloud's crew
No te prometo amor eterno
por que no puedo,
soy tripulante de una nube
aventurero"

Hi There! The translation you found is correct. "Tripulante" is the singular and "Tripulacion" is the plural. My first language is spanish and we use the word for Airplanes / Ships or Train Crew members. Any type of vehicle really.

crew member...it is used in a metaphorical way, as if a cloud (nube) were a ship of some sort on which this person is travelling...it could also be translated as sailor, pilot, seafarer...maybe that extract could be translated like this
"I don't promise you eternal love
because I can't,
I am a traveler on a cloud
an adventurer"
