1. A Spanish pop band founded in 1981
2. A Dutch Post-Punk/ New Wave band founded in 1978
(1)The Spanish Mecano began as a Spanish language synth-pop (in Spanish música tecno) band from Madrid, Spain. Brothers Nacho Cano and José María Cano, along with singer Ana Torroja, formed the band in 1981. Mecano’s debut coincided with La Movida Madrileña, a sociocultural movement that occurred in Spain during the 1980’s.
Soon after forming, they achieved wide-spread popularity with their debut single, “Hoy No Me Puedo Levantar”. Nacho Cano branched out into producing other bands, and both he and his brother wrote songs for other pop up-starts. Mecano had another hit in 1986 with “Me Cuesta Tanto Olvidarte”. In 1991, the band members decided to set out on solo careers.
Prior to their international success in 1986, Mecano had three successful albums in Spain and Europe. However, it was not until the release of their 1986 album, Entre el Cielo y el Suelo that they achieved international success beyond the Spanish-speaking world. One of their most important songs, “Hijo de la Luna”, was covered as an aria by one of Opera’s greatest contemporary singers, Montserrat Caballé. Their follow-up album, Descanso Dominical, produced their biggest single ever, “Mujer Contra Mujer”, which deals with a lesbian relationship, seen through the eyes of a male friend, who only later realizes what is going on. The song was recorded in French, English, and Italian, giving Mecano their first truly global hit.
2. Mecano is a Dutch Punk/New Wave band founded in 1977 by Dirk Polak. Post-Punk from 1978 to mid 80's, a break, but now alive again. Official site: http://www.mecano.ws/

Mecano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tú, que bésame
Tú, me tienes de furriel
de un roto de Tú piel
Tú, como la cal
que húmeda es mortal
Tú, blanqueas mi razón
Tú
Tú, montada en mi
Yo, montúra hostil
Tú, me abrazas con los pies
y yo lamo el arnés
Tú, y sin ti yo no
Tú, y sin ti ya no
Tú, me has hecho dimitir
y hoy se dice así:
Tú
The lyrics to Mecano's song "Tú" are a poetic expression of the power and intensity of love. The song begins with the repetition of the subject "Tú," which means "you" in Spanish. The repetition of this word creates a sense of fixation on the object of the singer's affection, and the absence of anything other than "you" implies that the singer is completely consumed by their love.
The subsequent lines add depth to this feeling, with the singer saying that "you kiss me" and "you have me as a drummer of a tear in your skin." These lines create a sense of intimacy and vulnerability between the two people, with the singer being completely at the mercy of the other person's affections.
The final lines of the song are the most haunting, with the singer saying that "you have made me resign, and today it is said like this: 'you'." This line highlights the power dynamic between the two people, with the singer having surrendered themselves completely to the other person. The repetition of "Tú" reinforces this and creates a sense of being trapped and unable to escape.

Te has picao al ver que no llevabas la razón y te ha dado por escribir la Biblia ¿eh, catedrático?
Bueno, te recuerdo que las falacias de hombre de paja (lo sacas todo de contexto para intentar llevarlo a tu terreno) y ad hominem (meterte con mi forma de hablar e hijos que no tengo)... no son argumentos.
Pero sí, tú úsalas, todo muy profesional y sobre todo educado 😂
Pues menos mal que no eres tonto del culo, sino a saber que pollada te habrías sacado de la manga.
Tienes menos luces que el que asó la manteca, besugo 😂
Te dejo antes de que hagas más el ridículo y los del psiquiátrico se den cuenta de que les falta un botarate.
Hasta nunca y no te molestes en contestar 😂

In case an English speaker stumbles upon this wonderful piece, here's a (quick and not very carefully done, be aware) translation of the lyrics.
Mecano - YOU
You, for no additional reason
You, because, please, kiss me
You have kept me as a quartermaster (the one responsible for supplies)
to a tear(opening) in your skin.
You, like lye
which is deadly when damp
You, wash away my common sense
seeping even into the mattress.
You.... you you you
You.... you you you
you you you
You, riding me
I am a rebellious stallion
You, hold me with your feet
and I lick the harness.
You, and without you I don't
You, and without you, noting more
You have made me surrender
and today this is how 'I' is said:
You.... you you you
You.... you you you
you you you
conatcha
You, without further reason
You, just kiss me
You got me as a quartermaster
of a piece of your skin
You, like lime
so deadly when wet
You whitewash my reasoning
soaking through down to the mattress
You, you, you, you...
You, you, you, you...
You, mounted on me
Me, hostile mount
You embrace me with your feet
while I lick the harness
You, and without you, me not
You, and without you, me no more
You made me resign
and now 'me' is said like this
You, you, you, you...
You, you, you, you...

Como el genero del reguetoon que ni fueron a la escuela o que ni saben que lo que cantan es basura la golosina de la generación actual de cristal vaya tiempos ahora del asco

Esta joya y, casi todos los videoclips musicales de Mecano, deben remasterizarse ya en HD a partir del celuloide original, lo merecen por su calidad.

Les urge.
Angel David
Cuando existía verdadero talento. Mecano es lo mejor que ha pasado por la música hispana. Una vez disuelto Mecano; se perdió el gusto por la buena música; compositores genios y la voz más dulce y melodiosa.
Karina Villavicencio
la canción más romántica y sensual de la historia de la música en español!! es una obra de arte...
