Marisela's early career was helped immensely by the famous Mexican TV show of Siempre en Domingo by Raúl Velasco and then later expanding into the United States by the help of many other Spanish broadcasting shows such as Cristina, Don Francisco, Sábado Gigante, and many other televised shows famous in the 80's and 90's. Marisela's first record release was titled Sin El a production of Enrique Elizondo and songs from the now well known Marco Antonio Solís who composed all the songs of her first hit album. Thanks to the wonderful song writer/composer and singer Marco Antonio Solis, who is one of Mexico's greatest music artists of all time, her romantic CD was an instant hit. "La Pareja Ideal" a duet between Marisela and Marco Antonio Solis is one of her most memorable songs, being promoted while the two were actually dating.
The romance ended of course because of the love triangle between Marisela, Marco Antonio Solis and Beatriz Adrianna who was also a beautiful rising artist whose album Marco Antonio Solis was promoting.
Marisela is one of very few singers who have managed to survive in the music business only by playing concerts in Mexican venues known as palenques.
Marisela has continued recording great hit songs like, "Completamente Tuya", "Enamorada y Herida", "Sola con mi Soledad", "Ya No", "El Chico Aquel", "Mi Problema" and many more.
In 2007, Marisela released a compilation of greatest hits entitled Noches Eternas with a Mariachi sound to it. She is preparing to release the most waited for production of No Soy Una Mentirosa this year.
Marisela is one of the artists that will always remain a favorite in the hearts of her audience. Now in the heart of a new generation to come that is through their ancestors listening to her songs and becoming fans of her all over again. She is now known as "La Dama de Hierro." To date, Marisela has recorded 14 albums.
Tu Dama de Hierro
Marisela Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Arrancarte para siempre de mí
Y siempre llego a la misma conclusión
Tendría que arrancarme el corazón
Más de una vez digo "al diablo contigo"
Si por un tiempo no se nada de ti
Mas de repente te apareces y todo
Cambia mi mente y me siento feliz y como siempre
Sigo siendo tu esclava, sigo siendo tu dama de hierro
La que nunca te dirá que no
La que siempre tiene listo un beso
Porque te quiero
Sigo siendo tu sombra, sigo siendo tu niña mimada
Aunque a veces te quiera matar
Reconozco que sin ti no vivo
Sin ti me muero
Más de una vez he maldecido tu nombre
Y luego digo "Dios perdóname"
Cuando te siento estremecer en mis brazos
Cuando estallo ante tu desnudez y como siempre
Sigo siendo tu esclava, sigo siendo tu dama de hierro
La que nunca te dirá que no
La que siempre tiene listo un beso
Porque te quiero
Sigo siendo tu sombra, sigo siendo tu niña mimada
Aunque a veces te quiera matar
Reconozco que sin ti no vivo
Sin ti me muero
Sigo siendo tu esclava, sigo siendo tu dama de hierro
La que nunca te dirá que no
La que siempre tiene listo un beso
Porque te quiero
Sigo siendo tu sombra
Sigo siendo tu niña mimada
Aunque a veces te quiera matar
Marisela's song "Tu Dama de Hierro" is a powerful expression of the complexity of love and its grip on our emotions. The song begins with the lines "Más de una vez he intentado olvidarte, Arrancarte para siempre de mí" (More than once I have tried to forget you, to forever pull you from me), which convey the singer's deep desire to move on from the relationship, yet her inability to do so. She realizes that removing her lover from her life would require removing her own heart, highlighting the deep connection she feels to this person.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines "Sigo siendo tu esclava, sigo siendo tu dama de hierro, La que nunca te dirá que no" (I continue to be your slave, I continue to be your iron lady, the one who will never say no). This repetition emphasizes a sense of desperation in the singer's voice, admitting that even as she curses her lover's name, she is unable to resist the pull of their love. The lyrics also express that despite the ups and downs of the relationship, the singer still loves her partner deeply, stating "porque te quiero" (because I love you) multiple times throughout the song.
Overall, "Tu Dama de Hierro" is a poignant song that captures the intensity and pain of love, particularly in relationships where one partner feels more attached or devoted than the other.
