Chenoa was born in Mar de Plata (Argentina) on June 25, 1975, although her family moved to Spain when she was 8. Her parents were both musicians and they used to work in hotels as singers in live music shows, so Chenoa has lived and breathed music since birth.
At the age of 16, Chenoa began to sing professionally taking part in her parent's show. Her mother fell ill and Chenoa had to stand in for her.
She graduated as a teacher in nursery school, and started performing in the Casino de Mallorca shows when she was 20. There, Chenoa acquired a good stage presence before entering the first edition of the Spanish TV show Operación Triunfo in 2001.
Her first album was “Chenoa”, released in April 2002 in Spain. The first single was Atrévete, a song whose English version is also included in the album as Mystify, but the greatest hit of this CD was Cuando tu vas, danced all over Spain in the summer of '02. “Chenoa” sold over 500,000 copies in Spain after 61 weeks in Top 100 chart, and she was nominated for the Spanish music industry awards Premios Amigo as best female new artist, and best female artist. Year 2002 finished with a Spanish tour that included more than 70 dates.
In April 2003 Chenoa took part in Eurobest, an European song contest in which she performed "It's raining men”. Her great stage presence led her to victory.
The unplugged album “Mis canciones favoritas” was Chenoa’s second CD. It was recorded in Barcelona in April 2003, and included some of her favorite songs, such as: Man in the mirror, Respect, Chain of fools or Love of my life. This CD+DVD was released on a limited edition of 100,000 copies for fans.
“Soy Mujer” was the chosen title for her second studio album, recorded in Miami and Madrid in 2003. Pop, rock, and latin, arab and anglosaxon sounds are mixed in this CD, which reached number one in the Spanish album chart, and sold more than 230,000 copies after 47 weeks in the Top 100. "En tu cruz me clavaste", "Soy lo que me das", "Siete Pétalos", "Dame and Soy Mujer were the singles released. Chenoa was nominated again for the Premios Amigo award as best female artist and completed an 80-date tour in Spain. In 2004 she was nominated for the Tu Música award as best new artist, in Puerto Rico.
In May and June 2004 she started “Soy Mujer” promotional tour around Venezuela, Puerto Rico and Argentina. In December she visited Panama, Costa Rica and Dominican Republic.
In April 2005 the Spanish Radio and Television Associations Federation awarded her the Micrófono de Oro 2005. Venezuela has also awarded Chenoa in 2005 with the Mara de Oro 2005 to the best new international artist of the year.
November was the month chosen for the release of Chenoa's third studio album "Nada es igual". In this pop-rock CD we find a new direction in Chenoa’s music, as it has been produced by Dado Parisini (Laura Pausini, Nek, Tears for Fears), and recorded in Milan. “Nada es igual" it's not only a sample of her musical evolution, but also of her new personal challenge. Rutinas is the first single.
Chenoa has still been going strong in the Spanish Charts, although most other reality TV show stars die out soon after. In 2004, her song Dame topped the Spanish charts for three weeks. In 2005, her song Rutinas (Routines) from her new album released in Nov 2005 reached number 4 on its first week, which is a great achievement.

Cuando Tú Vas
Chenoa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
me dice cosas que no suenan del todo bien
está tratando de seducirme
entre la marcha why tanto ruido no le oigo bien
pelo hacia atrás, sonrisa retorcida
intentará abordarme por segunda vez
no sé da cuenta que no me interesa
que lo que diga o lo que haga lo conozco bien
why no me hables de sexo seguro
ni plastifiques mi corazón
ya estoy cansada de cuerpos duros
why mentes blandas que no saben de amor
Cuando tu vas, yo vengo de allí
cuando yo voy, tu todavía estás aquí
crees que me puedes confundir
why de qué vas, mirándome atrás
¡Ay qué descaro!, ahora me gustas más
why es que no me fio porque sé que tu me engañarás
Le vi una mueca casi congelada
reflejado está en su cara lo que dije de él
why como un rayo solo dio la vuelta
me conquistó cuando me dijo que me equivoqué
por fin preguntas como me llamaba
la verdad hubieses empezado con buen pie
comprenderás que yo no te conozco
pero me muero de deseo por besar su piel
why no me hables de sexo seguro
ni plastifiques mi corazón
ya estoy cansada de cuerpos duros
why mentes blandas que no saben de amor
Cuando tu vas, yo vengo de allí
cuando yo voy, tu todavía estás aquí
crees que me puedes confundir
why de qué vas, mirándome atrás
¡Ay qué descaro!, ahora me gustas más
why es que no me fío porque sé que tu me engañarás
Cuando tu vas, yo vengo de allí
cuando yo voy, tu todavía estás aquí
crees que me puedes confundir
why de qué vas, mirándome atrás
¡Ay que descaro! ahora me gustas más
why es que no me fío porque sé que tu me engaña
sé que tu me engaña, sé que tu me engañarás
The lyrics of Chenoa's song Cuando tu vas tell a story of a woman who is being pursued by a man who thinks he knows it all. He tries to seduce her, but she is not interested in his advances. She describes him as having a twisted smile and not sounding quite right when he talks. She is also tired of men who only care about sex and have hard bodies but soft minds. The woman is not interested in this kind of man, and she does not want him to try to change her mind.
The chorus of the song repeats the line "Cuando tu vas, yo vengo de allí" which translates to "When you go, I come from there." This may mean that she has been in this situation before and has dealt with men like him in the past. She is not easily fooled by his tactics and is not interested in a fling with someone who does not understand love.
The bridge of the song describes a moment when the man realizes that he has been insulted by the woman, but he quickly turns it around and convinces her that he is not like the other men. He asks for her name and tries to start over again. The woman is tempted by his desire for her, but she is still cautious because she knows that he will deceive her in the end.
Overall, the song Cuando tu vas is about a woman who knows what she wants and will not settle for someone who does not respect her. She is tired of being pursued by men who only want sex and does not want to be fooled by their empty promises.
