"Siempre pensé que el sentimiento más triste en la vida es cuando estás bailando de una manera muy alegre y luego te das cuenta de que tal vez no deberías estarlo."

Simplified Meaning:
Sometimes, you can feel really happy and be enjoying yourself, like dancing at a party. But then, you suddenly remember something sad or serious, and it makes you feel like you shouldn't be happy. It's like a switch from joy to guilt or sadness in a moment. For example, imagine you're having a great time at a friend’s wedding, dancing and laughing. Then, you remember a friend who recently went through a tough time, and instantly, you might feel bad for being so happy when they are not. The quote suggests this sudden change from happiness to guilt can make you feel very sad. To apply this to life, it's important to be mindful of others' feelings but also allow yourself to enjoy good moments without feeling guilty.
