At her 15th birthday party she made her first presentation. "It was a surprise to all the guests. One of them was a manager who invited me to open a concert for a popular Brazilian singer called Fagner. After that, many other invitations came to me. I spent two years singing all around the brazilian northeast," she said.
Marina added that when the dream of recording her first CD arose, she felt that she still needed a little more preparation. She then decided to go and study music at Berklee College of Music, in Boston, United States. There she had harmony, vocal technique, arrangement, composition, stage performance, piano, percussion, musical style research and studio recording technique classes.
She also took part in a television program in Brazil, called "Fama". It is a reallity-show similiar to American Idol in which the public chooses the best from a group of pre-selected singers that auditioned for the show. She got the 4th place.
First CD
A total of 20 songs were recorded, so as to arrive at the 14 tracks of the CD that goes by the artist's name. Production is by Guto Graça Mello, Júnior Mendes and by Marina Elali herself, who accompanied each detail of the production of the CD. The mixing was by American sound engineer Dana Jon Chappelle, who has already worked with foreign celebrities like Celine Dion and Whitney Houston. The CD was mastered by Adam Ayam, at Gateway Mastering studio, in Portland, Maine, also in the United States. The pictures are by Manoel Guimarães and Nana Moraes.
One Last Cry
This song has just become #1 hit in all over Brazil after debuting on a brazilian soap opera´s soundtrack called "Paginas da Vida", the most viewed TV show of 2006 in Brazil.
Conselhos
Marina Elali Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se você não soube cuidar
Nem de você
Nem do meu coração
Por que será que isso começou
Você que veio por favor
Agora vá em outra direção
Não fique triste
Eu sei que o plano não era assim
Refrão:
Eu tentei
Te avisar
Mas você
Não soube ouvir
Ou não quis entender
E agora acabou
Não quero mais te ver
Eu confesso que não vai ser fácil sem você
Se por acaso a gente se encontrar
Me fale um pouco de você
Olhe pra mim
Tente ficar em paz
E se eu notar que você mudou
Eu vou querer voltar atrás
E outra vez
Ficar em suas mãos
Não fique triste
Eu sei que o plano não era assim
In Marina Elali's song "Conselhos" the singer expresses a sense of disillusionment with the advice given by a past lover. She questions why she ever listened to their guidance when they were unable to take care of themselves or her heart. The singer acknowledges that things did not go according to plan but asserts that it is time for the past lover to find a new direction, apart from her.
The refrain reveals that the singer attempted to warn the lover, but they either did not listen or chose not to understand. The relationship has now come to an end and the singer admits that it will not be easy to move on. However, she still leaves the door open for a potential reconciliation, stating that if they were to meet again and the lover had changed, she would consider going back to them.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a complex mix of frustration, disappointment, and hopefulness towards a past lover. Marina Elali's soothing voice and the song's smooth melody create a bittersweet mood that captures the push and pull of a complicated relationship.

Não sei porque ouvir conselhos seus
I don't know why I should listen to your advice
Se você não soube cuidar
If you couldn't even take care of yourself
Nem de você
Or your own heart
Nem do meu coração
Let alone mine
Por que será que isso começou
Why did this even start?
Você que veio por favor
You came to me asking for a favor
Agora vá em outra direção
Now go in another direction
Não fique triste
Don't be sad
Eu sei que o plano não era assim
I know the plan wasn't supposed to be like this
Eu tentei
I tried
Te avisar
To warn you
Mas você
But you
Não soube ouvir
Didn't know how to listen
Ou não quis entender
Or maybe you didn't want to understand
E agora acabou
And now it's over
Não quero mais te ver
I don't want to see you anymore
Eu confesso que não vai ser fácil sem você
I admit it won't be easy without you
Se por acaso a gente se encontrar
If we happen to run into each other
Me fale um pouco de você
Tell me a bit about yourself
Olhe pra mim
Look at me
Tente ficar em paz
Try to find peace
E se eu notar que você mudou
And if I notice that you've changed
Eu vou querer voltar atrás
Then I will want to go back
E outra vez
And once again
Ficar em suas mãos
Be in your hands
