2) Marina Lima was known by the name Marina in the start of her career in 1980's. Since 90's she has used her full name, Marina Lima. Lima is a Brazilian rock singer.
Starting her career before Brazilian rock of the '80s was commercially ripe, Marina Lima witnessed its creation from a privileged standpoint and participated in it as a successful pop star since 1984. Her most regular partner has been her brother, philosopher Antônio Cícero. Her biggest hits are "Fullgás" (Marina/Antônio Cícero), "À Francesa" (Marina/Antônio Cícero), "Pra Começar" (Marina/Antônio Cícero), "Nada Por Mim" (Herbert Viana/Paula Toller), "Eu Te Amo Você" (Kiko Zambianchi), "Ainda É Cedo," "Não Sei Dançar," and "Uma Noite e Meia." Her eclectic repertory features rock-tinged pop-dance music, blues, bossa nova, a typical samba-canção melancholy, and a very tiny pinch of jazz.
From five to 12, she lived in the U.S. where her father worked, and was taught to read in English before Portuguese. Attracted to psychoanalysis and music, Marina Lima (just Marina by then; she added her surname to her stage name in the '90s) started to write songs, opting for making a living in this career when Gal Costa recorded her "Meu Doce Amor" in 1977. The next year she formed a band that had a drummer who would be connected with the creation and the development of the Brazilian rock of the '80s, Lobão. Ricardo Barreto (guitar), Guto Barros (guitar), Zé Luís (sax), and Junno Homrich (bass) would also participate in that historic moment (they later became musicians of the seminal Brazilian rock band Blitz) as they were also in her band before the new genre took Brazil. Marina's first solo album, Simples Como Fogo (1979), already brought originals in the pop/rock style that would become mainstream in the next decade. But her first hit came in 1984, with "Fullgás," which had success with the title track "Me Chama" (Lobão) and "Mesmo que Seja Eu" (Roberto Carlos/Erasmo Carlos, here having its meaning altered as a confession of her bisexuality). Three years later, she appeared in the film Rádio Pirata (Lael Rodrigues) singing the main theme, which she also composed. With 15 albums released in Brazil as 2000, others were launched especially for the American market and dominated a period in which anxiety provoked a loss of voice; Marina Lima is one of the biggest divas of Brazilian rock.
3) Marina Luchenko-Szczesna (Polish: Marina Łuczenko-Szczęsna; Ukrainian: Марина Лученко–Ще́нсний; born 3 July 1989), known mononymously as Marina (stylized as MaRina), is a Ukrainian-Polish singer-songwriter and actress.
4) Marina Vénache, known as Marina on stage, is a French singer born on October 30, 1985. She started her career in the sixth season of the TV show "Star Academy" in 2006.
5) Marina Marqueza (currently using the name Marqueza) is a non-binary Japanese-Venezuelan artist, singer, and producer based in Salt Lake City, Utah making genre-fluid music from the bottom of their heart. They want to see the Salt Lake City art scene become more radically inclusive of the diversity of talent that already exists, and they put that intentionality behind every event they agree or refuse to be a part of. Marina loves Existimos, Patty and Graciela, and she wants to perform a set that is affirming and healing from their place as a queer person of color. Her debut album, Orbit Pluto, was released on January 1, 2019.
6) Marina, a Czech metalcore band from Prague.
7) Marina Nakamura(中村 真里奈, Nakamura Marina, born February 7, 1987) is a Japanese singer and songwriter from Miyazaki who is signed to 5pb. Marina debuted in 2010 singing songs for the anime television series Angel Beats! as one of two vocalists for the fictional band Girls Dead Monster. In May 2013, she made her major solo debut with the release of her single "Kimi Tsunagu".

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know your kind, now's your time,
To break out on the dance floor
Without no shame, without no shame, just let it go
Now you won't ask why tonight
'cause you know the magic is right
You let your passion take flight
Get ready to lift off, you just damn want to explode
Strut... Strut...
You blow my mind, who ever thought,
You'd break out on that dance floor
Without no shame, now where's that shame,
I used to know
Now I won't ask why tonight
'cause I know the magic is right
I see those stars in your eyes, get ready to lift off
Come on, you've got to move baby,
Come on and do it just right
Do what you got to do, sugar to keep my lovin' in line
Break out on the dance floor
Eyes up, left hand back, now go 'head'n strut
Eyes up, left hand back, now go 'head'n strut
Eyes up, left hand back, now go 'head'n strut
Eyes up, left hand back, break out on the dance floor
If you're tryin' to blow my mind, try
Eyes up, left hand back, now go 'head'n strut
If you're tryin' to blow my mind, try
Eyes up, left hand back, now go 'head'n strut

Pumpin to the rhythm so this really can go round
Any race, listen to this jam, pump it till you can, move understand
Floor should be packed, you know where you're at
If you're livin' at large, runaway jack
Then get on the dance floor and move to this track, come on
Get on up and jack to the beat
This heart likes a cocktail rhythm, that'll make ya move your feet
Get on the dance floor and prove you can move it
Loco pumpin' hipe, so use it
Get on the dance floor and show me how
Now dance now, honey...eyes up, left hand back...

You should be dancin all night
Eyes up, left hand back, now go 'head'n strut
Get up get up
