*Wicked: For Good, How ''No Good Deed'' Was Adapted Around the World, Lyrics Comparison, One-Line Multilanguage*

I got this idea from @raneemacintosh6842 's comment. The phrase ''No good deed goes unpunished'' is a phrase that is commonly used in English but it's not common in other languages, since the song was adapted in quite a few languages (31+1) I put the lyric adaptations from the closest to the original English version to the furthest away from the original, some versions were creative, some others stack to the original but from what I realised is that the meaning wasn't lost most of the time. I used the first verse of the song that she repeats ''No good deed goes unpunished'' since some versions changed the final lyric. The phrases in all versions are highlighted with gold and if the phrase is different it's highlighted with dark red so they can be distinguishable from the ''normal'' lines. Lastly, I decided to include the names of the lyricists on the video too! Hope you enjoy!
Thanks everyone that helped me with some of the lyrics!
