De Música Ligera Lyrics in English by Banda Los Sebastianes
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.
