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

It's not a word I knew previously, but crew member does seem to be correct. Using the Real Academia Española's website, it says "Miembro de una tripulación"...Member of a tripulación. Then I looked that up: "Conjunto de personas que van en una embarcación o en un aparato de locomoción aérea, dedicadas a su maniobra y servicio" which translates as a group of people who go on a boat or on some form of air transportation, dedicated to its manipulation or service...I guess that would be the crew, so crew member is certainly backed up. Don't read it literally, try to imagine the verse figuratively. I think it works.

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"
