Manche (French pronunciation: [mɑ̃ʃ]) is a French department in Normandy (Normandie), named for the English Channel, which is known as La Manche, literally "the sleeve", in French, that borders its north and west shores and part of its east shore.
Manche is one of the original 83 departments created during the French Revolution on March 4, 1790. It was created from part of the province of Normandie.
The first capital was Coutances until 1796, and it resumed that role after World War II because of the almost complete destruction of Saint-Lô during the battle of Normandy following D-Day. When Saint-Lô was rebuilt, it again became the capital.
The Department includes the Cotentin Peninsula down to the famous Mont St Michel; though of the off-shore Channel Islands only Chausey forms part of the territory of the department.
Manche borders the Normandy departments of Calvados to the east and Orne to the southeast. Mayenne, a department of the Pays de la Loire, is to the south-east, and Ille-et-Vilaine in Brittany is to the south-west.
Manche is a French department in Lower Normandy.

Solo voy con mi pena
sola va mi condena
correr es mi destino
para burlar la ley
Perdido en el corazon
de la grande Babilon,
me dicen el clandestino
por no llevar papel
Pa'una ciudad del Norte
yo me fui a trabajar,
mi vida la deje
entre Celta y Gibraltar
soy una raya en el mar
fantasma en la ciudad,
mi vida va prohibida
dice la autoridad
Solo voy con mi pena
sola va mi condena
correr es mi destino
por no llevar papel
Perdido en el corazon
de la grande Babilon,
me dicen el clandestino
yo soy el quiebra ley
