The leader is Miguel Caló, 1947, with 98% of the 105 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.
12 more dances name this song but not which version, so no share counts them. “No match yet” means no filmed dance is tied to that version so far, not that nobody dances it. Dances whose music we have not identified are left out.
Choose A and B on two recordings to hear them one after the other.

Lyrics
Español
Ven, levántate no llores, no me jures ni me implores, yo esperé que alguna vez hincándote a mis pies traerías tus dolores. Mas los años que pasaron, mis rencores atenuaron. Y hoy que al fin te vuelvo a ver, no llores, por favor, que ya te perdoné. Despojos solamente quedan hoy, despojos de tu amor y de mi amor. ¿Por qué has vuelto así con las sombras del ayer, arrastrando tu vejez junto a mí? Mira como estoy por estar lejos de ti, yo también envejecí de dolor. Hoy somos los despojos, nada más, no sé si has hecho bien en regresar. Como el sol reseca el lodo... Borra el tiempo, todo, todo... Y se aprende a perdonar De nuevo al encontrar La vida en un recodo... Una luz en mis tinieblas Es tu nombre hecho de niebla, Puede ser que salga el sol Detrás de tu dolor Detrás de mi dolor…

Come, get up, don't cry, do not swear or implore me, I hoped that sometime kneeling at my feet you would bring your pains. But the years that passed, my resentments attenuated. And today that at last I see you again, don't cry, please, I have already forgiven you. Only the remains are left today, the remains of your love and of my love. Why have you come back like this with the shadows of yesterday, dragging your old age with me? Look how I am for being far from you, I too grew old with pain. Today we are the remains, nothing more, I don't know if you've done well to return. As the sun dries the mud... Time erases everything, everything, everything... And you learn to forgive Again when you find Life in a bend... A light in my darkness Is your name made of fog, May the sun rise Behind your pain Behind my pain...
