Talk:Porque te vas

Wrong
The translation of the title of the song is wrong. The original title is "¿Por qué te vas?" (Why are you leaving?" and not "Porque te vas" (Because you're leaving" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.41.181.59 (talk) 19:39, 24 January 2013 (UTC)
 * While this is somewhat controversial and quite possibly a double meaning is intended, you are wrong. The original title is Porque te vas ([es:Porque te vas|the Spaniards agree]). I wait for an answer, but the article has to be moved back. --KnightMove (talk) 18:48, 1 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Because you are leaving is correct, as the sentence has no question intonation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 148.87.19.198 (talk) 00:23, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Porque te vas is correct (because you are leaving)

Hoy en mi ventana brilla el sol Y el corazon 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 iran contigo Me olvidaras Me olvidaras Junto a la estacion lloraré igual que un nino Porque te vas


 * It can induce to error, they are right. Spanish "por qué" (stressed, disregarding enunciation or interrogation) means "why", and "porque" (unstressed), means "because of". As in English, when people sing the pronunciation somewhat is retorted, but attending the lyrics they are very few room to understand she is singing "why", any Spanish speaker can confirm this (she is sad, because he is leaving). Anyway, you are inducing to error translating "porque" as "why", it *never* means that (even written together, it needs an acute accent to mean "why", "porqué"). Spanish is very clear on this: por qué (why?), porqué (the why), porque (because [of]), por que (for that). The translation is plainly wrong.83.165.18.236 (talk) 22:19, 25 November 2018 (UTC)
