sortiéI dodged / I overcame

Sortié comes from the verb sortear, which means to "dodge," "overcome," or "navigate around" something. It's an interesting word because it implies a challenge or obstacle that needs to be skillfully handled.

In the context of the song, the lyric "Que nunca sortié las trampas del amor" translates to "That I never dodged the traps of love." It's a poignant admission of vulnerability, suggesting the singer was unable to avoid the pitfalls and complexities that come with love, making it a memorable and emotionally resonant word.

Get ready to dive into Banda Los Sebastianes' take on "De Música Ligera"! This song tells a story of longing and memory after a relationship ends. The singer wakes up, still wanting to dream of someone who "durmió al calor de las masas" [slept in the warmth of the masses]. It's a bittersweet feeling, looking back at a love that was perhaps fleeting or uncomplicated, like "música ligera" [light music].

He reflects on how he never escaped "las trampas del amor" [the traps of love] and has no intention of sending "cenizas de rosas" [ashes of roses] — a pretty blunt way of saying he's not sending any romantic gestures. Even so, he's not trying to avoid a "roce secreto" [secret touch]. It seems like some feelings linger, even if he knows that "nada nos libra, nada más queda" [nothing frees us, nothing else remains] from that kind of love. It's a powerful and relatable look at moving on, or trying to, after a love that left a mark.
