Letra del Vals Desde el alma

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 lyrics of the Vals "Desde el alma"

Soul, if you have been hurt so much,
why do you refuse to forget?
Why do you choose
to cry over what you’ve lost,
to seek what you’ve desired,
to call what has died?

You live needlessly sad
and I know you never deserved
to pay with sorrows
the fault of being kind,
as kind as you were
for love.

It was what started once,
what later ceased to be.
What in the end,
due to a mistake,
was the heart’s bitter night.

Drop those letters!
Return to your old dream!
Alongside the pain
that opens a wound,
life arrives
bringing another love.

Soul, do not close your window
to the happy morning sun.
Do not despair,
for the most cherished dream
is the one that hurts us most,
is the one that causes deepest pain.

You live needlessly sad
and I know you never deserved
to pay with sorrows
the fault of being kind,
as kind as you were
for love.
