Footloose and fancy-free!

I get all sorts of great answers when I put this through translating sites, but do any of you native speakers have a better translation for "footloose and fancy-free"?

I'm not a native, but "libre como el viento" is a good translation. In some regions "libre como el aire" is used.

In Mexico, there is a slang way of saying this, ie: "Ando bien suelto" (I am Footloose and fancy-free)

I'm not native, but one site I tried gave me "tranquilo y despreocupado" which translated into footloose and fancy when I fed it back into the translator.

SpanDict had translations for the words "footloose" and "fancy-free" which I manually combined into the following:

"libre de ataduras y sin compromisos or responsabilidades"

This version is much more wordy, but probably a bit more accurate. As I said though, I'm not native, this is just a personal opinion,
