Laura Pausini - Porqué te Vas

Image
«Porque te vas» (a menudo pero erróneamente conocida como «¿Por qué te vas?»)​ es una canción interpretada por la cantante hispano-británica Jeanette. Fue publicada por la compañía Hispavox en 1974, obteniendo escaso éxito, y fue el último trabajo musical de la cantante con esa discográfica. Posteriormente fue incluida en los discos recopilatorios Jeanette canta Porque te vas y 9 éxitos más (1976) y Sigo rebelde (1996). Fue compuesta por José Luis Perales y producida por Rafael Trabucchelli. See  Billboard Interview with Laura Pausini .  Suscribete á Laura Pausini .  Porqué?
