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.

Are mending on the shelf
I saw you holding hands
Standing close to someone else
Now I sit all alone
Wishing all my feeling was gone
I give my best to you
Nothing for me to do
But I've one last cry
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I've gotta put you out of my mind this time
Stop living a lie I guess
I'm down to my last cry
I was here, you were there
Guess we never could agree
While the sun shines on you
I need some love to rain on me
Still I sit all alone
Wishing all my feeling was gone
Gotta get over you
Nothing for me to do
But I've one last cry
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I've gotta put you out of my mind this time
Stop living a lie
I know I've gotta be strong
'Cause all my life goes on and on and on, and on
But I've one last cry
One last cry
Before I leave it all behind
I've gotta put you out of my mind for the very last time
Been living a lie
I guess I'm down
I guess I'm down
I guess I'm down
To my last cry
The lyrics to Marina Elali's song One Last Cry express the pain and heartbreak of a person who has been left behind by their loved one. The singer speaks of their shattered dreams and broken heart that are slowly healing, but the sight of their former lover holding hands with someone else brings back all the memories and feelings they thought they had left behind. The singer expresses their desire to forget about their lover and move on, but acknowledging that it won't be easy: "I've gotta put you out of my mind this time, stop living a lie, I guess I'm down to my last cry."
The singer is torn between the reality of the situation and their lingering feelings for their former lover. They acknowledge that they were never on the same page and could never agree, and while their former lover moves on, they continue to sit all alone and wish that their feelings would disappear. The singer feels like they have given their all but there is nothing left for them to do, except to have one last cry before they leave it all behind.
Overall, the song is a poignant and heartfelt expression of the pain of heartbreak and the struggle to move on.

My shattered dreams and broken heart
My hopes and heart have been completely destroyed
Are mending on the shelf
But I'm slowly starting to recover and move on
I saw you holding hands
I witnessed you intimately with someone else
Standing close to someone else
Being physically close to someone else
Now I sit all alone
I find myself alone with my thoughts
Wishing all my feeling was gone
I wish I could rid myself of all this pain and heartbreak
I give my best to you
I've tried my hardest to make this work
Nothing for me to do
But now it's clear there's nothing more I can do
But I've one last cry
This is my last emotional outburst
Before I leave it all behind
Before I finally move on from you
I've gotta put you out of my mind this time
I need to forget about you
Stop living a lie I guess
I need to stop pretending that everything is okay
I'm down to my last cry
I'm at the end of my emotional rope
I was here, you were there
We were never in the same place emotionally
Guess we never could agree
We could never see eye to eye
While the sun shines on you
You have everything going for you
I need some love to rain on me
But I'm the one who needs love right now
Still I sit all alone
I'm still here, alone with my thoughts
Gotta get over you
I need to move on from you
I know I've gotta be strong
I'm aware that I need to be strong to get through this
'Cause all my life goes on and on and on, and on
My life will continue despite this heartbreak
Before I leave it all behind
Before I can finally move on from you
I've gotta put you out of my mind for the very last time
I need to completely forget about you one final time
Been living a lie
I've been pretending everything is okay for too long
I guess I'm down
I'm at my lowest point
To my last cry
This is the end of my emotional journey
