"Labios Compartidos"video is another heartbreak love song. it's rhythm with the guitar and lyrics just makes this song another one of my favorite. Lyrics are as follow:

 Labios Compartidos:

Amor mío
Si estoy debajo del vaivén de tus piernas
Si estoy debajo hundido en un vaivén de caderas
Esto es el cielo es mi cielo.

Amor fugado
Me tomas, me dejas, me exprimes
Y me tiras a un lado, te vas a otro cielo
Y regresas como los colibríes
Me tienes como un perro a tus pies.

Otra vez
Mi boca insensata vuelve a caer en tu piel
Vuelve a mí tu boca y provoca
Vuelvo a caer de tus pechos a tu par de pies.

Coro:
Labios compartidos
Labios divididos, mi amor
Yo no puedo compartir tus labios
Que comparto el engaño
Y comparto mis días y el dolor
Ya no puedo compartir tus labios
Oh amor, oh amor compartido.

Amor mutante
Amigos con derecho y sin derecho
De tenerte siempre
Y siempre tengo que esperar paciente
El pedazo que me toca de ti.

Relámpagos de alcohol
Las voces solas lloran en el sol
Eh! Mi boca en llamas torturada
Te desnudas angelada y después te vas.

Otra vez Mi boca insensata
Vuelve a caer en tu piel de miel
Vuelve a mí tu boca duele
Vuelvo a caer de tus pechos a tu par de pies.

Coro:
Labios compartidos
Labios divididos, mi amor
Yo no puedo compartir tus labios
Que comparto el engaño
Y comparto mis días y el dolor
Ya no puedo compartir tus labios

Que me parta un rayo
Que me entierre el olvido mi amor
Pero no puedo más compartir tus labios
Compartir tus besos, Labios compartidos.

Te amo con toda mi fe sin medida
Te amo aunque estés compartida
Tus labios tiene el control.

Te amo con toda mi fe sin medida
Te amo aunque estés compartida
Y sigues tú con el control.

English Translation:

Title: Share Lips

Love of mines
If I am below the swaying of your legs
If I am below sunken in the swaying of your thighs
This is heaven, it is my heaven

Escaped Love
You take me, You leave me, and you squeeze me
and throw me to the side, you go to another heaven,
and later return like a hummingbird
you have me like a dog in your feet.

And again
My stupid mouth falls over your skin
and again your mouth provokes me
I fall again from your chest to your feet

Shared lips,
Divided lips, my love
I can't share your lips
I can share the deception
and my days and my pain
but I cannot share your lips,
Oh love, Oh love shared.

Mutant love
Friends with rights and no rights
to have you forever
and always I have to wait patiently
for the part of you that belongs to me

Lightning's of Alcohol
the voices alone cry to the sun
My voice in tortured flames
you get naked in an angelic way and then you leave.


And again
My stupid mouth falls over your skin
and again your mouth provokes me
I fall again from your chest to your feet

Shared lips,
Divided lips, my love
I can't share your lips
I can share the deception
and my days and my pain
but I cannot share your lips,
Oh love, Oh love shared.
Let a lighting break me
that it bury me in oblivion my love
But I can't anymore share your lips,
share your kisses, shared lips.

I love you with all my faith without measure
I love you even though you are shared
your lips have the control.

I love you with all my faith without measure
I love you even though you are shared
and you keep having the control.

Translation by Rosangela Vazquez

Wao! now tell me these lyrics aren't deep. Do you guys understand what he is talking about here? In case someone doesn't understand, He is singing about a woman, who is cheating on a guy, and this guy is madly in love with her. He tries living with the deception so long as he gets to kiss her one more time, but eventually he just can't keep living this way because it hurts too much to share her with another men. She comes and goes as she pleases, wraps him around her finger, gives him hope in a sense, and then she throws him to the curve to go be with the other guy. Another beautiful Poetic song, expressing what many of us both females and males, go through sometimes. In love we all hurt at one point or another, is a journey one goes through in order to find that one person that wont hurt us.

 Selva Negra Foundation (Black Jungle Foundation) is a foundation that was formed by Mana in 1995, in which the band finances and support important projects that protect the environment. with the help of Mexico's government, they also save sea turtles by raisin 140,000 turtle eggs to release on the country's pacific coast. "Sea turtles play key roles in two ecosystems that are critical to them as well to humans."Sea turtle In the ocean, Sea turtles are one of the very few that eat the sea grass, that grows on the sea floor. Sea grass needs to be short to help it grow across the sea floor, so the sea turtles act as grazing animals that cut the grass to help maintain the health of the sea grass beds. Sea grass beds provide breeding for numerous species of fish. without sea grass beds, many marine species would be lost. So thank you sea turtles and thank you Selva Negra for protecting the Sea turtles.
