Here is some information about Jeanette:
Jeanette is an English-born Spanish pop star who was popular throughout the 1970s and 1980s, scoring a long string of hit singles, most notably "Porque Te Vas."
Her full name is Janette Anne Dimech.
She is born on October 10, 1951 in London, England, but she grew up in the United States.
At age 12 she moved to Barcelona with her mother, who was of Spanish heritage, and she learned to speak Spanish.
During the 1960s she took an interest in American folk music and began writing songs of her own.
In 1967-1968 she recorded a series of mostly unsuccessful singles ("Cállate, Niña," "Amanecer," "Me Olvidarás") with the band Pic-Nic, plus a full-length album Pic-Nic (1968).
During the early '70s, after the demise of Pic-Nic, she embarked on a solo career and scored her first hit single in 1971 with "Soy Rebelde," a song written by Manuel Alejandro , with whom she. would collaborate in later years on subsequent hits, most notably the album Corazon de Poeta (1981).
The label misspelled her name when it released "Soy Rebelde," but because the song became a hit, the misspelling became her official stage name.
Successive singles were released over the course of the decade, including "Estoy Triste" (1972), "Palabras, Promesas" (1973), "Porque Te Vas" (1974), "Hoy Nos Hemos Dicho Adiós" (1975), "Todo Es Nuevo" (1977), "No Digas Buenas Noches" (1978), and "Voy a Tener un Niño" (1978).
Her greatest success was "Porque Te Vas," which became an international hit after appearing in the award-winning film Cría Cuervos (1976).
Here are the English lyrics for the song:
Today the sun shines through my window and my heart saddens as it looks at the city because you're leaving (today).
I awoke every night thinking of you and I saw the hours pass by on my clock because you're leaving (today).
All my promises of love will go with you (and) you'll forget me you'll forget me.
Today, beside the station I'll cry like a child because you're leaving (today) [x4]
Beneath the gloomy street light they will be put to rest all the things left unsaid will be put to rest.
Beside the clock's hands, they will wait all the hours that didn't come to pass they will wait.
All my promises of love will go with you ...
The 1990s marked the end of her success, though she herself remained popular and her back catalog was repackaged into a continual stream of greatest-hits collections.
