2 hrs   confidence: Answerer confidence 5/5
tocar una canción/pasar una canción


Explanation:
Si el contexto del texto se refiere a tocar un instrumento musical, entonces la primer opción es correcta (tocar una canción). Pero si el contexto se refiere por ejemplo a una discoteca, una radio, etc. entonces la traducción correcta sería "pasar una canción". En portugués usan el mismo verbo (tocar) para lo que en español diferenciamos con los verbos "tocar" y "pasar" o "sonar".

Por otro lado, la palabra música en portugués, también puede significar tanto "música" en general, como "canción", "pieza" o "tema" musical. Creo que en este caso debe referirse a una "canción". Pero tenelo en cuenta según el contexto.

Suerte!
