La K'onga teams up with romantic powerhouse Luciano Pereyra to wrap a passionate love-plea inside the infectious rhythm of Argentina’s Cuarteto. Si Te Vas (“If You Leave”) is the desperate last call of someone watching the love of their life reach for the door handle. He knows he is flawed, he promises a fresh start, and he paints vivid pictures of what life would feel like without her: a house where he is “only a stranger,” a train without a station, a moon with no balcony.
Although the melody invites you to dance, the lyrics are a heartfelt tug-of-war between fear and hope. The singer begs, “Just let yourself be loved,” because without her there will be no more Valentines, only emptiness filled with lies. It is a bittersweet cocktail: the upbeat Cuarteto beat keeps your feet moving, while the words remind you how hard it is to let go of true love.
