At the Festival del Sol in 1985 held in Miami, Florida, Robles received an award for her song "No Soy Distinta". Sponsored by Danny Rivera, the singer recorded two songs that attracted the attention of the record label Sony Music. In 1989, her single "Corazón en Blanco", a pop song, became her first to chart in the United States, peaking at number 15. The next year, Robles released the album Imágenes, produced by Rudy Pérez and Ricardo Eddy. This album peaked at number 9 in the Billboard Top Latin Albums chart and yielded her first number-one single "Abrázame Fuerte". Her duet with Nicaraguan singer Luis Enrique, "Gracias a Tu Amor", also became a hit, peaking at number two. "Miedo", "Que Lástima" and "Es Él" were released as singles. Robles was awarded with a Gold album for Imágenes.
In 1992 Robles was asked to represent the new generation of performers at the "Fifth Anniversary of the Encounter with the New World", sharing the stage with popular salsa singers, Gilberto Santa Rosa, Andy Montañez, Carmita Jiménez, Danny Rivera, Chucho Avellanet and José Juan Tañón. Hey Jude: Tributo a Los Beatles was released in 1995. This compilation album included 13 songs originally performed by The Beatles. Robles performed a Spanish version of the song "The Long and Winding Road".
Robles parted ways with Sony Music in 1999, signing a recording contract with PolyGram. The first album with this label, Cielo de Acuarela, recorded in New York, Spain and Santo Domingo, with a blend of tropical and pop music. The following year, a song titled "Lo Odio", produced by Guillermo Torres, was released. In May 2002, Billboard magazine announced that a new album by Robles, under the Latin World Entertainment Group—a Puerto-Rican record label of recent creation, was "under way". Sensaciones was released in 2002.
In 2010, a cover album with songs previously recorded by Juanes, Juan Luis Guerra, Ricardo Montaner, Franco De Vita, La 5ª Estación, Maná and Alejandro Fernández, titled Es Algo Más was unveiled. About this album, Robles said that it would appeal to people "who are fans of her work and people who are not."
Qué Lástima

No nos quedan palabras
Entre tъ y yo no queda mas que decirnos adiуs
Sin rencor y sin lбgrimas
Serб mejor seguir caminos separados
Cambiar de gente y si es preciso de paнs
Sin miedo alguno combatir como soldados
CORO:
Que lбstima, no pudo ser
La carne con el alma no se llevan bien
Que lбstima, pero es mejor
Por siempre separarnos que seguirnos engaсando
Que lбstima no hay mбs que hacer
Lo que comienza mal nunca termina bien
Los dos hicimos todo lo posible por vencer
Que lбstima, no pudo ser
Para los dos no va a ser fбcil volver a empezar
La vida de nuevo
Por dignidad, por el resperto que hay entre tъ y yo
Porque ya no hay remedio
Nunca fue cуmplice el amor de nuestro intento
Y lentamenete nos venciу la realidad
La tolerancia tiene un lнmite de tiempo
Y el corazуn no aguanta tanto sufrimiento
CORO:
Que lбstima, no pudo ser
La carne con el alma no se llevan bien
Que lбstima pero es mejor
Por siempre separarnos que seguirnos engaсando
Que lбstima no hay mбs que hacer
Lo que comienza mal nunca termina bien
Los dos hicimos todo lo posible por vencer
Que lбstima, no pudo ser...
The song "Que Lástima" by Lourdes Robles is a heart-wrenching ballad about the end of a relationship. The lyrics describe the feeling of having nothing left to say between the two people involved in the relationship. Despite the love that they once shared, they have come to the realization that they are not meant to be together. The chorus explains that it is a pity that they could not make it work, but it is better to separate than to continue living a lie.
The lyrics describe the decision to go their separate ways and start anew. They acknowledge that it will not be easy, but it is necessary for their own self-respect and dignity. The song highlights the reality that love can only go so far and that sometimes, no matter how much effort is put in, a relationship is just not meant to be. The chorus is repeated twice as if the singer is coming to terms with the decision and is trying to convince themselves that it is better this way.
Overall, "Que Lástima" is a beautiful but heartbreaking song about the end of a relationship. It captures the essence of the bittersweet experience of letting go and moving on.

Que más decir
Si hasta el aliento se
Nos agotó
No nos quedan palabras
Entre tu y yo
No queda más que
Decirnos adiós
Sin rencores
Sin lágrimas
Será mejor seguir
Caminos separados
Cambiar de gente
Y si es preciso de país
Sin miedo alguno
Combatir como soldados
En esta guerra por amar
Y ser amados
Que lastima
No pudo ser
La carne con el alma
No se llevan bien
Que lastima
Pero es mejor
Por siempre
Separarnos
Que seguirnos
Engañando
Que lastima
No hay más que hacer
Lo que comienza mal
Nunca termina bien
Los dos hicimos todo
Lo posible por vencer
Que lastima
No pudo ser
Para los dos
No va a ser fácil
Volver a empezar
La vida de nuevo
Por dignidad
Por el respeto que
Hay entre tu y yo
Porque ya no
Hay remedio
Nunca fue cómplice
El amor de nuestro intento
Y lentamente nos venció
La realidad
La tolerancia tiene
Un límite de tiempo
Y el corazón no
Aguanta tanto sufrimiento
Que lastima
No pudo ser
La carne con el alma
No se llevan bien
Que lastima
Pero es mejor
Por siempre separarnos
Que seguirnos engañando
Que lastima
No hay más que hacer
Lo que comienza mal
Nunca termina bien
Los dos hicimos todo
Lo posible por vencer
Que lastima
No pudo ser.

What a pity
What else to say
If even we ran out of breath
We ran out of words
Between you and me
There's nothing more to say
But goodbye
Without regrets
Without tears
It's better that we take
Separate ways
Change of people
And if necessary
Of country
Without any fear
Combat like soldiers
In this war of love
And be loved
What a pity
It couldn't be
The flesh with the soul
Don't get along
What a pity
But it's better
Forever separate
Than keep fooling us
What a pity
There's nothing
Else to do
What started wrong
Never end up right
We both did the
Possible to defeat
What a pity
It couldn't be ...
For the both of us
It will not be easy
To start life again
For dignity
For the respect that's
Between you and me
Cause there's no
More remedy
It was never an
Accomplice
The love of our tried
And slowly the reality
Defeated us
Tolerance has a time limit
And the heart can't
Hold so much suffering
What a pity
It couldn't be
The flesh with the soul
Don't get along
What a pity
But it's better
Forever separate
Than keep fooling us
What a pity
There's nothing
Else to do
What started wrong
Never end up right
We both did
The possible to defeat
What a pity
It couldn't be.
