Soraya Arnelas Rubiales (born 13 September 1982), better known by her stage name Soraya, is a Spanish singer. Soraya represented Spain at the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 in Moscow, Russia with the song "La noche es para mí" finishing 23rd with 23 points.
Arnelas was born in Valencia de Alcántara, Cáceres, Spain on 13 September 1982. At the age of 11, she left for Madrid. She wanted to study drama but soon started working as a flight attendant for Iberworld, where she travelled around the world. She speaks three languages (English, Portuguese - she has some Portuguese origins - and Spanish) and is a Real Madrid C.F. supporter.
Soraya participated in the fourth series of the Spanish television series Operación Triunfo in 2005 where she came second overall. Her début album "Corazón De Fuego" was released on 5 December 2005 produced by Kike Santander. The album got Platinum status.
"La noche es para mí" (Spanish pronunciation: [la ˈnotʃe ˈes ˈpaɾa ˈmi], "The Night is for Me") is a song by Spanish singer Soraya and was the Spanish entry in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009, held in Moscow, Russia. It was released on 12 January 2009 in Spain as the second single from Soraya's fourth studio album Sin Miedo. The music was composed by Irini Michas, Dimitri Stassos and Jason Gill, and the lyrics were written by Felipe Pedroso.
The song, composed in 2007 as "Afta Pou Ksereis" (Αυτά που ξέρεις) and written in Greek, was first offered to Helena Paparizou for her fourth album, but she turned it down as she wanted pop rock themes. The song was later offered to Maro Lytra, who also turned it down, and Chrispa, who considered to enter the Greek selection for the Eurovision Song Contest 2008 with it. None of these three artists recorded or released the song, so it was therefore eligible to participate in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 according to EBU rules.
Si es que falle
Fue porque no supe ver
lo que querias tu de mi
y en verdad me siento triste
se que no fui yo
el que dijo aquellas cosas
que no quisiste escuchar
el que hablo fue el corazon
y ahora sin ti
no se vivir
no se que hacer
ni a donde ir
esque no hay mujer
que me haga tan feliz
tu naciste para mi...para mi...
Te pido perdon
si el amor me hizo creer
que me querias como yo
interprete mal tu mirada
pero no fue error
y todo lo que paso
se lo agradezco a mi Dios
que me hizo conocerte
Y esque sin ti
no se vivir
no se que hacer
ni a donde ir
y es que no hay mujer
que me haga tan feliz
