Mariposa Traicionera │ Maná

In this edition of Angel Watchers I am doing something very different.  I have been wanting to feature Maná, the rock group from Guadalajara, Jalisco in Mexico, and this is just the right time to do it.  Maná is considered to be the best Latin rock band in the world.  In 2002 they released "Mariposa Traicionera (Treacherous Butterfly)" from their "Revolución de Amor (Revolution of Love)" album, and it was a huge international hit.  One might say that this is their signature song.  Well, I just love "Mariposa Traicionera" a lot, and I was so happy when they recorded a live version of it and released it on their "Arde el Cielo (The Sky Burns)" album.  That is the version that is featured in the video below.  Maná supported President Obama in his 2012 reelection bid.  By-the-way,  I often get email from the fans of Angel Watchers who are trying to guess what my ethnicity is.  Most of them think I am either German, Russian, French, or British because the content of this blog is truly international.  Well, let me start off by saying that I am an American, and will always be an American, but I am of Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian and Roma ancestry.  Portuguese is my second language, but I can puzzle through Spanish as it is so close to Portuguese.  Safe journeys to all the fans of Angel Watchers, wherever you may be.

 Mariposa Traicionera

Eres como una mariposa
vuelas y te posas vas de boca en boca,
fácil y ligera de quien te provoca.
Yo soy ratón de tu ratonera,
trampa que no mata pero no libera,
vivo muriendo prisionero.

Mariposa traicionera,

 todo se lo lleva el viento,
mariposa no regreso,
Ay, mariposa de amor,
mi mariposa de amor.

Ya no regreso contigo.
Ay, mariposa de amor,
mi mariposa de amor.

Nunca jamás junto a ti,
vuela amor, vuela dolor
y no regreses a un lado
ya vete de flor en flor,
seduciendo a los pistilos
y verla cerca del sol,
pa´que sientas lo que es dolor.

Ay, mujer cómo haces daño,
pasanlos minutos cual si fueran años,
mira estos celos me están matando.
Ay, mujer qué fácil eres,
abres tus alitas, muslos de colores
donde se podan tus amores.

Mariposa traicionera,
todo se lo lleva el viento,
mariposa no regreso,
Ay, mariposa de amor, mi mariposa de amor.
Ya no regreso contigo.
Ay, mariposa de amor,
mi mariposa de amor.

Nunca jamás junto a ti,
vuela amor, vuela dolor
que tengas suerte en tu vida
ay, ay, ay, ay, ay dolor,
yo te lloré todo un río,
ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, amor
tu te me vas a volar.
