However Ysa knew that her real love was music. During her days off, she worked on demos. In 1995, she signed a deal with Universal Music France. Two albums were released : “D’essences naturelles” in 1995 and “Kamikaze”, which contained her hit single “Mes rêves”, followed in 1998.
After several singles ("Mourir pour elles" - EMI Records and "Made In Japan"- East-West France), she released a dance version of Goran Bregovic's song "Ederlezi". The track is a hit in Sweden (top 20) and all eastern Europe (Germany and Russia especially).
In 2007, she founded her own production company, Lovarium Production, and started to work on her own. Since then she has released three singles ("To bi or not to bi", "On fait l'amour" & "Sens Interdit") taken from her third album "Imaginaire Pur".
Writer, composer and singer, Ysa Ferrer is regarded as the french "Kylie Minogue". Her dance/electro style, called "Pop Kosmic" is very popular in France and Russia especially in the gay community where she is considered as a true icon!
Por qué te vas
Ysa Ferrer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hoy, en mi ventana, brilla el sol y el corazón
Se pone triste contemplando la ciudad porque te vas.
Como cada noche desperté, pensando en ti
Y en mi reloj, todas las horas, vi pasar, porque te vas.
Todas las promesas de mi amor se irán contigo.
Junto a la estación, lloraré igual que un niño
Porque te vas, porque te vas, porque te vas.
Bajo la penumbra de un farol, se dormirán
Todas las cosas que quedaron por decir, se dormirán.
Junto a las manillas de un reloj, esperarán
Todas las horas que quedaron por vivir, esperarán.
Todas las promesas de mi amor se irán contigo.
Me olvidarás, me olvidarás.
Junto a la estación, lloraré igual que un niño
Porque te vas, porque te vas, porque te vas.
Todas las promesas de mi amor se irán contigo.
Me olvidarás, me olvidarás.
Junto a la estación, lloraré igual que un niño
Porque te vas, porque te vas.
Todas las promesas de mi amor se irán contigo.
Me olvidarás, me olvidarás.
Junto a la estación, lloraré igual que un niño
Porque te vas, porque te vas, porque te vas, porque te vas.
The lyrics of Ysa Ferrer's Por Que Te Vas cover the classic Spanish song by José Luis Perales of the same name, which expresses the sadness and heartbreak of a lover who is about to separate from their partner. The song is characterized by its melancholic melody, which serves as the perfect backdrop to convey the emotions of the singer who cannot bear the thought of losing their loved one.
The first stanza sets the tone for the song, as the singer looks out of the window and notices that the sun is shining, but their heart feels sad because their partner is leaving. The second stanza describes how the singer has been waking up every night with thoughts of their loved one, watching time pass by, knowing that their partner will soon be gone. The chorus repeats the phrase 'Porque te vas,' which translates to 'Why are you leaving,' and reflects the singer's feelings of confusion and despair as they try to come to terms with their imminent separation.
The third and fourth stanzas continue in the same vein, as the singer imagines all the promises of love that they made to their partner being taken away with them. The mention of the station and the clocks ticking allude to the idea of time ticking away, and the sense of urgency and finality that is associated with a lover’s departure. The song ends on a poignant note, with the singer admitting that they will cry like a child when their partner leaves because their heart is breaking into a million pieces.
