A song that sings the lightness of the heart that carries no baggage- Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien, sung by the French pop queen of her time, Edith Piaf. I really like it for what it means.
Translation
No! Absolutely nothing...
No! I regret nothing
Neither the good that I've done nor the bad
All this is much the same to me!
No! Absolutely nothing...
No! I regret nothing...
It is paid, swept away, forgotten
I don't care about the past!
With my souvenirs
I lit a fire
My sorrows, my pleasures
I need them no more!
Swept away the love affairs
With their tremors
Swept away forever
I leave with nothing ...
No! Absolutely nothing...
No! I regret nothing
Neither the good that I've done nor the bad
All this is much the same to me!
No! Absolutely nothing...
No! I regret nothing...
Because my life, because my joy
Today begins with you!

Another of Edith Piaf's songs I like is this.
