JEANETTE - PORQUE TE VAS (Spanish and French versions)
Jeanette
Janette
Anne Dimech (born 10 October 1951), known professionally as Jeanette, is
an English-born Spanish singer and songwriter. She first rose to prominence as
the lead singer of Pic-Nic, a teenage folk-pop band that found success in 1968
with her song "Cállate, niña". Jeanette returned as a solo artist in
1971 with the Hispavox single "Soy rebelde", which redefined her
career as a romantic balladist and was a hit across the Spanish-speaking world,
becoming a generational anthem.
In 1976,
Carlos Saura included Jeanette's 1974 song "Porque te vas" in his
film Cría cuervos, which propelled it to become a major hit and one of the most
famous Spanish pop songs of all time with many versions done in other languages.
Porque te vas (1974) (Because you're leaving)
Hoy en mi ventana brilla el sol,
y el corazón,
Se pone triste contemplando la ciudad,
Porque te vas.
Como cada noche desperté,
Pensando en tí,
Y en mi reloj todas las horas ví pasar,
Porque te vas.
Todas las promesas de mi amor se irán contigo,
me olvidarás, me olvidarás.
Junto a la estación, hoy lloraré igual que un niño,
Porque te vas. (repeat)
Bajo la penumbra de farol,
se dormirán,
todas las cosas que quedaron por decir,
se dormirán.
Junto a las manillas de un reloj,
esperarán,todas las horas que quedaron por vivir,
esperarán.
Todas las promesas, de mi amor se irán contigo,
me olvidarás, me olvidarás.
Junto a la estación, hoy lloraré igual que un niño,
Porque te vas. (repeat)
Todas las promesas, de mi amor se irán contigo,
me olvidarás, me olvidarás.
Junto a la estación, hoy lloraré igual que un niño,
Porque te vas. (repeat)
