“Porque Te Vas” paints a vivid picture of the moment someone you love walks out of your life. The singer wakes up to sunlight, yet her heart feels clouded as she watches the city knowing her partner is leaving. Every tick of the clock reminds her of passing time and fading hope, so the chorus repeats the haunting question, “¿Por qué te vas?”—“Why are you leaving?”—like an echo in an empty room.
As the song unfolds, promises, dreams, and unspoken words drift away with the departing train. She imagines herself crying at the station “igual que un niño” (like a child), helpless against the goodbye. Lamps dim, clocks stall, and all the hours they could have shared fall asleep in the shadows. The bittersweet melody captures that universal mix of sadness, nostalgia, and tender love, making the listener sway between longing and acceptance while humming along to its gentle rhythm.
