Marta
Willie Colón
Marta
Everyone told her
That it was going nowhere
If she didn't speak his language
She shouldn't even try
But with sweet touches
And tender glances
Love won
The first battle
Everyone told her
That it was going nowhere
If she didn't speak his language
She shouldn't even try
They were so happy
Love without conditions
Speaking the language
Of the hearts
Everyone told her
That it was going nowhere
If she didn't speak his language
She shouldn't even try
And then came that day no one expected
She had to go back
To her distant land
Everyone told her
That it was going nowhere
If she didn't speak his language
She shouldn't even try
And in such a short time
Just 5 words
She learned
To tell her beloved
Marta, I love you
Marta, I adore you
The language was never
A barrier for that love
Marta, I love you
Marta, I adore you
But a love without conditions
Just a heartbeat
Two hearts
Marta, I love you
Marta, I adore you
Don't suffer, darling, my calm, my sky
I will return soon
Marta, I love you
Marta, I adore you
And even though I'm far away today
I won't, won't, won't, won't, won't forget you, treasure
Marta, I love you
Marta, I adore you
Marta, I have a pain
'Cause you know I adore you
I'm far from you
But I won't lose my calm
(I always carry you in my soul)
Time keeps passing
And I live with hope
(I always carry you in my soul)
It's that I carry you in my soul
Inside my heart
(I always carry you in my soul)
It's that I love you
I adore you and that's why
(I always carry you in my soul)
I will always be for you, Marta
(I always carry you in my soul)
