Chinese take-out never sexier--La Tortura

This is Shakira's wonderful and very sexy video for the song, "La Tortura".  Alejandro Sanz, who co-stars, is another one of Latin America's huge music stars.  He is from Spain and has a deep and abiding love and knowledge of flamenco.  His rap is inspired in many ways by traditional flamenco lyrics.

The refrain--no solo de pan vive el hombre y de excusas no vivo yo--translates roughly as:  man does not live by bread alone, and I don't buy your excuses (sorry, had to lose the lovely parallel sentence structure to have it make sense in English).  From the rest of the lyrics, you get that he is telling her that, while he loves her, he wants to go tom-catting around every weekend.  She has his love M-F, isn't that enough?  Her answer:  a resounding "NO!"
