Jeanette Dimech greatest success, "Porque te vas" ("Because You Go"), was written by José Luis Perales and remained relatively unknown at the start of 1974. Only when the song was used in Carlos Saura's 1976 film Cría Cuervos (Raise Ravens), and the film went on to be honored at the Cannes Film Festival (Jury grand prize) and the Berlin Film Festival (jury special prize), did the song become internationally known and a hit. In Austria it reached number 13, in Switzerland number 4, and in Germany it even reached number 1.
The song was covered in 1996 by the Brazilian pop-rock band Pato Fu (album "Tem mas acabou"), and in 1997 by Mexican female group "Aurora y la Academia". Also Jose Luis Perales, author of "Porque te vas", recorded the song featuring Amaia Montero from Spanish group La Oreja de Van Gogh In 2006 by the duo Los Super Elegantes. The song which is on the album "Channelizing Paradise" also has an English version done as part of the track.
The song also gained somewhat of a cult status in the USSR and later in Russia after it was recorded by the Soviet band Vesyolye Rebyata. The song (with lyrics in Russian and titled "V posledniy raz" (The Last Time)) appeared on the band's 1979 LP "Muzikalniy Globus" (Musical Globe). The Russian lyrics version has been covered by several artists and bands since.Template:Or In Finland this song is known by the name "Korppi" (which means "Raven" in Finnish), performed by female singer Tuula Amberla.
In 2008 Belgian comedic character Freddy de Vadder (performed by Bart Vanneste) recorded a cover version 'Zonder Wielkes' in his Native West-Flemish dialect. The lyrics were changed to a story from the character's supposed childhood in which he mourns about a little friend he 'lost' to an other kid with cooler toys. The instrumentation here is strongly based on brass instruments.
Although after "Porqué te vas" Jeanette never achieved similar international success, she continued singing relatively successfully in Spain and Latin America, and to a lesser degree France, well into the 1990s.
This song featured in 2005 the French TV Mini series "Trois Femmes ... un soir d'été" (Three Women ... One Summer Evening). This suspense story of a copy in three parts raked 7.5 million viewers for its first episode on 8 August, 2005. In 2007, this Mini series Trois femmes... un soir d'été (Three Women ... One Summer Evening) was telecast by TV5 Monde, on the DTH platform. On its first run, "Porqué te vas" gained a lot of fans in India and neighboring countries.Template:Or
In 2008, an Argentinian commercial production company Landia produced a television ad for Toyota Puerto Rico using the song. It created a phenomenon, and people started looking for the singer. The ad shows a bear stranded from north pole in a city.
