Verse 1
She slept
The lyrics of this song are short and seem simple, but they are also cryptic and intentionally ambiguous
To the warmth of the masses
And I woke up
Wanting to dream of her
Some time ago
I thought about writing to her
That I never avoided
The traps of love
Or: The pitfalls of love
Chorus 1
Of that love
Of light music
Or: Of soft music / easy-listening-music
Nothing frees us
Nothing else remains
Verse 2
I won't send her
Ashes of roses
Nor do I think to avoid
Or: Nor do I plan to avoid
A secret touch
Chorus 2
Of that love
Of light music
Nothing frees us
Nothing else remains
Chorus 3
Of that love
Of light music
Nothing frees us
Nothing else remains
Nothing else
Or: Nothing more
Nothing else remains
Nothing else remains
Nothing else remains
Nothing else remains

SONG MEANING

Soda Stereo’s timeless hit “De Música Ligera” is a burst of Argentine rock energy that captures the bittersweet feeling of a love that was as catchy and fleeting as a pop melody. The singer recalls a woman who once “slept in the warmth of the masses” while he stayed awake longing to keep dreaming about her. He admits he never quite dodged love’s traps, so the relationship slipped through his fingers, leaving only echoes of that música ligera—light, infectious music that’s impossible to forget but impossible to hold.

What remains? Just the refrain pulsing in his mind: Nada nos libra, nada más queda—nothing sets us free, nothing else remains. It is a confession laced with both nostalgia and acceptance, celebrating the intoxicating rush of a romance that burned brightly for a moment, then faded like the last chord of a soaring guitar riff. The song reminds us that some loves matter precisely because they are short, sweet, and forever stuck in our heads—much like this unforgettable rock anthem.
