Her greatest success, "Porque te vas" (Because you're leaving) 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.

Cría Cuervos quotes

  • Ana: The only thing I remember very clearly, is that at the time, I was convinced my father was responsible for all the sadness that embittered the last years of my mother's life. I was convinced that it was he and he alone that had caused her illness and death.

  • Rosa: Your poor mother wanted to breastfeed you, but she was too pale and delicate. So I was the one who really nursed you.

    Ana: Did you breastfeed me?

    Rosa: Heavens, no. I gave you a bottle.

    Ana: You've got big breasts. Will you show me?

    Rosa: What do you think this is, a circus?

    Ana: Come on, show me! I'll close my eyes and count to five... Oh! They're so big!
