LINK TO LYRIC - Mariposa Traicionera (Maná)

http://www.elyrics.net/read/m/mana-lyrics/mariposa-traicionera-lyrics.html



I selected this song because almost everyone likes Maná and the have songs with a lot of sense. In this lyric the singer make the song to rhyme when he is singing or at least it sounds like that but really the song has only a few stanzas that rhyme. One example of alliteration in the song is when he says “soy ratón de tu ratonera”. An example of assonance in the song is when the singer says “y te posas vas de boca en boca”. In the case of the alliteration that I mentioned above, it gives the song a lot of sense because it is like saying that he is vulnerable or fragile to anything she wants to do with him. Saying “soy ratón de tu ratonera” is like saying “I am at you feet; you could use me whenever you want and I can’t escape from it”. The song is a little sad and the rhythm which Maná use to sing it demonstrates this sadness. You have to sing it in a slow rhythm because if you don’t the stanzas loose the sence.
