Imagine being just one small step away from an unforgettable adventure. That is the teasing invitation Soda Stereo lays out in “Si No Fuera Por…”. Throughout the lyrics, the singer tempts someone to come closer, get a little crazier, strip away their fears, and dive into the unknown. Every line begins with a playful “Podrías…” (“You could…”), piling up possibilities of passion, excitement, and connection. Yet each promise is held back by the mysterious refrain “Si no fuera por…” (“If it weren’t for…”), hinting at an unspoken obstacle—perhaps doubt, routine, or plain old fear—that keeps the moment from exploding into reality.
The song is a flirtatious push to shake off caution and embrace spontaneity. By repeating the offer “De vez en cuando viene bien” (“Once in a while, it feels good”), Soda Stereo reminds us that breaking free, even briefly, can recharge the soul. Ultimately, “Si No Fuera Por…” is a contagious call to action: replace hesitation with boldness, because on the other side of that tiny “if” lies the thrill of living life to its fullest.
