I saw him busking round Aveyron 3 yrs ago - new material!
Bought the troubadours a beer ...

What came first, the iOS "playtime" alarm or this track?

It's a REALLY catchy song, and I can't believe it's fairly new; sounds as he always does! I skied the month of March of 2009 at Sun Valley... There are runs 7 miles long... Never waited more than 30 seconds for a lift,.. so, it was pretty frickin' BLISS... One of the things that made it even more special was that there was a Lift Operator gal who had Manu Chao going on her Lift-shack boombox whenever I came through... Uplifting stuff!

Love it...had a chance to see them in Honolulu for free in 06 but I didn't know who they were so I passed and went surfing...what regret!!! 

play this again!

Hijo de la chihuahua! 
Que Honda vato 
Donde vas
Donde fuiste 

I do miss the electronic dive bomb jingle sound in this

This is definitely not reggaeton. 

Nice! But unfortunately partly ruined by a slippery slick production.

Hello everyone!
Thank you very much for the beautiful music you send.
I would like to ask you, as an Italian and lover of good music, to also let us listen to some music by Fabrizio De Andrè, in the Global Mix, before the world forgets about him forever.
Fabrizio De Andrè is perfectly comparable to Joni Mitchell, in terms of quality and the vastness of his repertoire, for his qualities as a poet or simply for his human ones.
They both have a very beautiful album with the same name (Nuvole and Clouds).
And I think Manu Chao would also agree with this request of mine.
Thank you!

Love it! I was thinking about just this song earlier today and here it is! Just for that reason it is a bump from 7 to 8… 

To live without you is to live dying

Living like this, I don't recommend it

And so that's how, I keep insisting

To live without you is to die loving

When you leave

I will never come back

I will never come back

When you leave

I will never come back

When you leave

Cantar pa ti es clavarme espinas

If that pain is contaminated

It will be my voice that is already out of tune

Singing for you is my ruined drug

To live without you is to spin me

The moula barely calms me down

I will never come back

Everywhere I see your smile

I will never come back

I have to make my dreams come true

I will never come back

I sing my pain and I forget

That I will never come back

Remember us

Despite the love I put distance

From the distance

A song, tears flow

Despite the love I put distance

From the distance

When you leave

When you leave

To live without you is to run away

For your shadow, the one I invent

Do you care about a pepper?

Living without you, like a marriage

No, it's not just a matter of love

You know it very well

I will do everything to shelter you

Everything will be fine

I don't want to go back to the trap anymore

No, never again

Just give me a glimmer of hope

When you leave

I'm taking you

I did my best

To make your life easier

It's up to you to make your choice

The moula barely calms me down

I will never come back

Everywhere I see your smile

I will never come back

I have to make my dreams come true

I will never come back

I sing my pain and I forget

That I will never come back

When you leave

Living without you is my dexedrina

You put me more than cocaine

That comes back to you for the latrine

To live without you is to spin me

When you leave

I will never come back

Everywhere I see your smile

I will never come back

I have to make my dreams come true

I will never come back

I sing my pain and I forget

That I will never come back

Remember us

Despite the love I put distance

From the distance

A song, tears flow

Despite the love I put distance

From the distance

The moula barely calms me down

I will never come back

Everywhere I see your smile

I will never come back

I have to make my dreams come true

I will never come back

I sing my pain and I forget

That I will never come back

When you leave

I will never come back

Everywhere I see your smile

I will never come back

I have to make my dreams come true

I will never come back

I sing my pain and I forget

That I will never come back

Manu Chao is an intelligent thief. Lyrics and music aren't original at all, but they are very effective.
Nice entertainment.

Why do I feel the need for a margarita right now....?  

I like where you’re going with these new tracks, Bill

The more I listen to this song, the more into it I am. 

Hey Manu, tu pogottes plus ?
(mais pourquoi faire !)
En tous cas, merci Manu pour ce nouveau bonbon
Aux saveurs familières et tellement délicieuses.

és la 1 de la matinada a Rrrrrradio Bemmmmba

Finally he's surfing the pop-wave.

That one is a little hard to translate :)

Wake up honey! New Manu Chao!

I don't know how he does it but he makes a reggaeton track I somehow dig. Reggaeton and me are normally not friends.

I don't want to live without this music!

Oh, a new Manu Chao track, great!
