15 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.

Lyrics

Español

Alma, si tanto te han herido, ¿por qué te niegas al olvido? ¿Por qué prefieres llorar lo que has perdido, buscar lo que has querido, llamar lo que murió? Vives inútilmente triste y sé que nunca mereciste pagar con penas la culpa de ser buena, tan buena como fuiste por amor. Fue lo que empezó una vez, lo que después dejó de ser. Lo que al final por culpa de un error fue noche amarga del corazón. ¡Deja esas cartas! ¡Vuelve a tu antigua ilusión! Junto al dolor que abre una herida llega la vida trayendo otro amor. Alma, no entornes tu ventana al sol feliz de la mañana. No desesperes, que el sueño más querido es el que más nos hiere, es el que duele más. Vives inútilmente triste y sé que nunca mereciste pagar con penas la culpa de ser buena, tan buena como fuiste por amor.

English · machine translation

Soul, if you have been hurt so much, why do you refuse to forget? why do you refuse to forget? Why do you prefer to mourn what you have lost, seek what you have loved, to call what has died? You live uselessly sad and I know you never deserved to pay with sorrows the guilt of being good, as good as you were for love. It was what once began, what then ceased to be. What in the end because of a mistake was a bitter night of the heart. Leave those cards! Go back to your old illusion! Next to the pain that opens a wound comes life brings another love. Soul, do not close your window to the happy morning sun. Do not despair, that the dearest dream is the one that hurts us the most, it is the one that hurts the most. You live uselessly sad and I know you never deserved to pay with sorrows the guilt of being good, as good as you were for love.
