"Porque te vas" (English: "Because you're leaving") is a song performed by the singer Jeanette and written by José Luis Perales that remained relatively unknown at the start of 1974. Only when the song was used in Carlos Saura's 1976 film Cría Cuervos (Raising Crows), and the film went on to be honored at the Cannes Film Festival (Jury grand prize) and the Berlin Film Festival (Jury special prize), did the song become internationally known and a hit. In Austria it reached number 13, in Switzerland number 4, and in Germany it even reached number 1. Although after "Porque te vas" Jeanette never achieved similar international success, she continued singing relatively successfully in Spain and Latin America, and to a lesser degree in France, well into the 1990s.
In 1978 the Brazilian singer Lilian Knapp recorded a Portuguese version of the song titled "Eu sem você" (B-side of another version of a Jeanette song, Soy Rebelde). The song was covered in 1996 by the Brazilian pop-rock band Pato Fu in the album Tem Mas Acabou, and in 1997 by Mexican female group Aurora y la Academia. Also José Luis Perales, author of "Porque te vas", recorded the song featuring Amaia Montero from Spanish group La Oreja de Van Gogh. In 2006 by the duo Los Super Elegantes (aka Milena Muzquiz and Martiniano Lopez Crozet). The song which is on the album "Channelizing Paradise" also has an English version done as part of the track.
Nearly 40 years after the song's creation, singer Jack Lucien released the first ever fully English-language version of song on his 2011 compilation album Everything I Want to Be, entitled "You're Leaving Me".
The song also gained somewhat of a cult status in the USSR and later in Russia after it was recorded by the Soviet band Vesyolye Rebyata. The song (with lyrics in Russian and titled "V posledniy raz" ("The Last Time")) appeared on the band's 1979 LP "Muzikalniy Globus" (Musical Globe). The Russian-language version has been covered by several artists and bands since. In Finland this song has been covered at least by female singers Tuula Amberla by the name "Korppi" (which means "Raven" in Finnish), and Emma Salokoski by the name "Miksi sä meet" ("why are you leaving").
Other cover versions include ones by Masterboy, The Springlove, Globus (music), Gabriel Rios, Hot Banditoz, Polish singer Ala Boratyn, Chilean singer Consuelo Schuster and one by Arielle Dombasle. In 2011, that song was covered by Peppermoon, a Parisian pop band.
