Mécano Reaction Une Femme Avec Une Femme (THIS ONE HIT ME!) | Dereck Reacts

[@litogor]

This song is wonderful in both French and Spanish! I love both ...

[@javiervagabond9524]

They also recorded a version in Italian. It’s called “Per lei contro di leí”.

[@anamedina465]

Precioso !!!❤" Mujer contra mujer"

[@patxigarridodelgado6056]

Cette chanson avait le record de ventes et de durée au numéro 1 en France pour un groupe étranger. "Une femme avec une femme" s'est vendu à 2 millions d'exemplaires et est resté 7 semaines consécutives au numéro 1... C'est devenu un classique et un hymne lgtbi... 💞

[@arnolt2590]

2 millions en France ?

Et en passant, on apprenait tous les tubes de Mecano en cours d'espagnol, (école privée ! Lol ! mais quand la qualité est là, on chipote pas ! ;)

Mecano, grupo mítico del pop en español, de los 80

[@Flozillator]

One of my favorite songs of all time.

[@neohuman4602]

Big hit in France, even at 13 years old at this point I use to fully understand the lyrics and it was fine. No concern around me about it.

[@legitor513]

on a le même age alors, moi je trouvais ça beau mais osé, j ai changé depuis, le monde aussi. Grâce à des chansons comme ça entre autres

[@samueldevulder]

@@legitor513 Osé pour l'époque oui, mais qui est-on pour juger est ce qui est dit fort justement dans la chanson. Il semblerait que 30 ans certains aient toujours et encore des soucis avec cela alors que cela ne les regarde pas. Qu'ils s'occupent de leur propre affaires avant de s'occuper de celles des autres.

I liked this song before I even understood the meaning (I was 9 when the song came out 😉). She is magnificent👌🏼✨

[@franciscogil8998]

Hola Derek un like no es suficiente. Ya se que cada país tiene sus propios números 1, pero ellos lo fueron en muchos sitios coexistiendo con artistas como Michael Jackson, Madonna, Prince, y lo fueron durante mucho tiempo. Ana Torroja tiene un ángel en su voz, y los Hermanos Cano son unos genios musicales. Seguro que los vemos otra vez en tu canal. Hasta otra y cuidate

[@pilargonzalez8442]

Wow, how funny to hear this Mecano classic in French!!!!

[@ricardoribasargiles927]

Mecano tiene tantas y tantas canciones maravillosas, que cualquiera de ellas te sirven para hacer una revisión. Y si hubieras visto el musical que se hizo con sus canciones, alucinarías. No sé si se puede conseguir ese musical, creo que no está grabado, ni comercializado. Yo lo vi en directo unas 5 veces porque era una preciosidad. Me encantaría tenerlo

[@luisfegv6850]

[@ruthcn6890]

Preciosa canción 😍 En francés suena bien pero particularmente en español me gustan más. Maravilloso grupo, de niña era mi grupo favorito 😁 En sus canciones tocaban temas delicados para la época. Saludos

[@aha3885]

Es lógico, estas canciones se pensaron y se escribieron en español y para el español (idioma). Por muy buen trabajo que hicieran con las traducciones y la interpretación de Ana, no hay color. Ni puede haberlo.

[@galieck]

I'm french and I also prefer the spanish version.

[@taladrocule]

Es normal que cada cual la aprecia más en su idioma natal. En este caso creo que el trabajo de la versión francesa es perfecto. Por lo que no hay drama elegir. Me pasa a mi con Eros Ramazzotti que sus versiones italianas son las originales, pero casi todas me gustan más en castellano.

[@LucasGaudichon]

I knew you'd been amazed by this beautiful song !!!

[@nachocura]

Jose Cano (the guy with sort hair in the video) wrote this song in 1986 to be included in the band's fourth album (Entre el Cielo y el Suelo), but the record company thought the lyrics were too risky for Spain at that time and was left out of the album. Two years later Jose Cano demanded that it be included in the fifth album (Descanso Dominical) and it was an immediate success, even before it was released as a single.

[@fevesvfr]

The stones... The narrator says "I do not want to cast the first stone" (biblical reference) (she also says I do not want to judge: same idea) "With my stone, they would build a fortress"

[@stephanewantiez164]

Yes so she won't throw them, and instead give them to the women so they can be protected That's a beautiful image

[@DustOfMoon-M.F]

This song is everything to me , the first song I listen on the radio after I coming out to my mum few years ago ❤️👌

[@conscienceetintuition9350]

Hi Dereck, I was 21 years old when this amazing song came out in France. I can recall it like if it was yesterday. Believe me, 31 years later, this smash hit keeps on making me cry. This song is timeless and the records sales were so deserved. By the way, the band was often invited in various french tv shows to perform live or not this wonderful song. As you smartly said and noticed, this song is both deep and emotional.

[@carmen5074]

Omg Derek!!! I can't believe you are reacting to Mecano!!! I love them ! YOU ARE AWESOME!!!!!💖

[@sararodrigueztorres574]

En España está normalizado hoy en día las relaciones entre mismo sexo, pero cuando salió ésta canción allá por los años 80+ fue una revolución. Magnífica canción del mítico grupo español, Mecano. "Hijo de la luna" o "Eugenio Salvador Dalí" dos de mis preferidas. Saludos!

[@AdamPowersAu]

Aire tambien era hermosa es mas mecano fue una de las primeras bandas en español que llegaron tocar en japon en 1988 y muchas de sus canciones posteriores se inspiraron un poco en el citypop que estaba de moda en ese momento en japon por ejemplo la fuerza del destino es inegable que la melodia es muy tipica del citypop japones melodias increibles se hacian y los hermanos cano se habran inspirado para componer esa maravilla de cancion con esas melodias que aqui no eran para nada tipicas

[@trixieelle4511]

And to think, my spanish teacher made us learn the lyrics in middle school class when the song came out. Way ahead of his time, the guy !

Pas beaucoup de commentaires français alors que cette chanson a vraiment marqué une génération à sa sortie. Je ne connais pas la version espagnole que je vais écouter, mais celle là fait ressortir tellement d'émotion! Merci Dereck pour ce choix 😊❤🎶🎹

[@emmanuelfani5385]

J'ADORE la version française. Et pourtant je préfère l'espagnole (la langue naturelle de la chanteuse est l'espagnol, elle y maîtrise mieux ses émotions. On le ressent à l'écoute). Mais dans les 2 versions, c'est un chef-d'œuvre absolu.

[@nightcrwler1973]

Je navais jamais entendu parle de cette chanson, elle est incroyable

Hi. This song is beautiful and Ana Torroja's voice adds further to the sensuality and sweetness of the lyrics. A fine plea for tolerance. Thanks for this great choice.

[@mikekaraoke]

80's + 90's, as this was from their hit 80's album-Descanso Dominical + was thier 4th single which was released as a single in early 1990! I first heard it when the album was playing in many Spanish shopping centres, music shops, and my dad also bought this album and played it loads in our villa in the 80's when on holiday! and also saw them live on TV playing a few songs from the album. As for the video-there was so much more views than video you saw, but got taken down by the Spanish record company a number of years back when it had 7 million views!

[@aha3885]

Totally normal. The Cano brothers write in spanish, think and dream in spanish. And their songs were amazing in spanish. With the traslation, you lost tons of beauty and meaning.

Mecano, which had won huge success in Spain, became the first Spanish band to reach the top spot in the French rankings. The song was certified gold in 1991 by SNEP, for a minimum of 250,000 copies sold, which is a very good result for a country like France.

In french there is that expression : "Jeter la (première) pierre" (to throw the (first) stone at someone) which means to basically confront someone over something. ('First' when initiating the conflict) The expression is based on the lapidation executions in ancient times. So when the singer says "with my stones, they would build their fortress", she means if she "threw the stone" at them, so if she tried to run interference/oppose their relationship, they would only grow closer as they would lose some others.

[@DanTony68]

The single entered the French Top 50 at number thirty-four in the edition of September 9, 1990. He quickly climbed to the first place where he remained three weeks, and disappeared from the ranking only on February 16, 1991 (22 weeks of presence in the Top 50).

Can't help crying. Each. F$$$. Time.

[@vanesag.9863]

You had a lost in translation issue there. The singer is backing up the relationship. She says that if you don't like what you are seeing (two women in a relationship) you only have to go away because it's not their problem but yours. The singer is talking to you not to the girls in the relationship. The original Spanish lyrics says: "con mis piedras ellas hacen su pared" (with my stones they build a wall) and the meaning is that they don't have to mind you, it's a warning to the people sorrounding them and our issues (the stones) with them can and would be used to protect themselves (a wall) of the rest of the world. In reality it's a biblical reference because before that sentence at the Spanish lyrics the singer sings: "no estoy por la labor de tirarles la primera piedra" (I'm not going to be the first one to throw a stone) "si equivoco la ocasión y las hallo labio a labio en el salón" (if by chance I encounter them kissing on the living room) and later she says: "si no gusto ya se que hay que hacer" (if I don't like I know what I have to do) "que con mis piedras ellas hacen su pared". Mecano has another LGTBI related song, El fallo positivo that talks about the AIDS epidemic that affected a lot of the LGBTI comunity. Mujer contra mujer (in Spanish woman against woman) was a hit in Spain, France and Spanish language countries. The song was released in 1988 and it's considerated one of the most important songs of the LGBTI comunity in Spanish.

[@unaquepasabaporaqui8384]

The thing about mecano is that even if the singer is a woman, the songs were writen by the Cano brothers, so all the songs are from the point of view of a man. Anyway, this song is so beautiful, thank you for reacting to it , I din't know the french version.

[@67Daidalos]

Hi Dereck ! As you already picked it up. This song came at a time where tolerance towards gay people wasn't at all the norm. (but you should know that, as you're only 3 years younger than I am). In a matter of fact, even more than ten years later, I stumbled upon a Harry Potter fanfiction that used that song to mock two disliked characters. It kinda bothered me as I loved the tolerance message it brought. So it may have influenced me (as well as the beautiful romance between Willow and Tara in Buffy the Vampire Slayer) to make the heroïn of my own fanfic a bisexual, and give her a love story with one of her friends. I was kinda proud when someone wrote me that he (or she) has never liked gay couples in fictions, but that mine made him (her) change his (her) mind.

[@lestatmt]

You should try the spanish version 😉

[@elodie2404]

The 1st version was in Spanish, and then Mecano has released a version in French with some other Mecano titles in French as well (like, for instance, "Hijo De La Luna (Dis-moi Lune d'Argent)") ... There are songs from Mecano translated in Italian too (amongst them "Figlio de la Luna", the Italian version of "Hijo de la Luna")

[@LetsChillPage]

Regarding the acceptance of homosexuality, or rather its non-acceptance since monotheistic religions dominated other religions, it should be noted that during antiquity it was perfectly tolerated, even encouraged (among the Spartans, the Romans in particular but also in some oriental civilizations) because it was felt that this made the warriors more united with each other. And that it significantly reduced the number of desertions because it channeled energies. All that to say that's simply a question of culture to accept it or not. Fortunately in France and in Europe, acceptance is gradually gaining ground. People are much less shocked than before about same-sex couples. However, it's not yet won. I specify that I'm perfectly straight. However, I don't understand that it can bother people that LGBT people are in a relationship, even get married. In any case, me, that doesn't take anything away from me. I don't feel aggrieved or dispossessed of anything. ...Nobody's perfect! 😊
