Go Away
Gloria Estefan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Won't you just go away
Go away,
Don't you come back one day (go away, just go away now)
Take your stuff
Take all of your precious things
Leave right now
Who knows what tomorrow brings (go away, just go away now)
Stay away
Would you please stay away
Live your life
Live it real far away (go away, just go away now)
Save yourself, no way to get it all
Look around
The writing is on the wall (go away, just go away now)
And when you go
I won't miss you at all
And when you go
I'll be having a ball
You will see
Thoughts of you
Won't ever cross my mind
It's the truth
Don't mean to be unkind
'Cause people have the right to party
And you won't let them have their fun
See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya
Auf wiedersehen, au revoir, shalom
People have the right to party
And we're not waiting 'till you're gone
Ciao, bye bye, hasta la vista
Fare thee well, adios, so long
Go away
Would you please go away
Go away,
You're outa here come what may (go away, just go away now)
Hit the road,
Don't bother to say goodbye.
Don't care how,
Don't even matter why (go away, just go away now)
And when you go
I won't miss you at all
And when you go
I'll be having a ball
You will see
Thoughts of you
Won't ever cross my mind
It's the truth
Don't mean to be unkind
People have the right to party
And you won't let them have their fun
See ya, wouldn't wanna be ya
Auf wiedersehen, au revoir, shalom
People have the right to party
And we're not waiting 'till you're gone
Ciao, bye bye, hasta la vista
Fare thee well, adios, so long
(Just go away now, just go)
Ciao, bye bye, hasta la vista (come on just go away now)
Fare thee well, adios, so long (just go)

Its an ear worm. Infectious. You cant get it out of your head.
Never gets old.
Still a killa song.

I just saw an old interview where she talked about this song and that it was dedicated to Vidal Castero. So brave. I wish one day that Gloria will be able to return to her homeland of Cuba and sing for them. When I go to Cuba I always have Gloria on my playlist and I secretly share it with the workers on my resort and it makes them so happy to hear her.
@jonldn
Fidel not Vidal..
@duncan3998
Videl DBZ 1993
@theshapeshadow
Fidel Castro. Not Vidal Castero. One was a dictator the other sounds like a hair salon. 😂

Growing up with Gloria on the radio was such a pleasure.
@KrillLiberator
Agreed 100%.
I'm also thinking that Gloria is a name due for a resurgence in popularity - wonderfully old-fashioned and still with fabulous meaning.
@conniebenny
A perfect, insanely catchy tune! I love it. Oh, and Gloria looks absolutely gorgeous in this too 🙂
