Known as "La Dama de Hierro", Marisela recorded her first album at the age of 15 in 1984 and continues to release albums into the twenty first century.
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.

Que locura que idea
Lo mio y lo tuyo
Dejar de buscarnos por orgullo
Dejar de llamarnos de no vernos
Que locura que idea
Haber olvidado
Promesas que hicimos, que juramos
Las noches de amor al conocernos

Tu recuerdo me mata
Y yo sufro por perderte
Y me rompe el alma
La tristeza por no verte
Porque te amo
Y quiero que sepas que te amo
Que mi corazón esta en tus manos
Que vivo y respiro por quererte

Porque te amo
Y quiero que sepas que te amo
Que tu eres lo máximo y te extraño
Que muero de ganas por tenerte
Porque te amo

Que locura que idea
Seguir enojados
Decir que esta todo terminado
Si tu y yo sabemos que es mentira
Tu recuerdo me mata
Y yo sufro por perderte
Y me rompe en el alma
La tristeza por no verte
Porque te amo
Y quiero que sepas que te amo
Que mi corazón esta en tus manos
Que vivo y respiro por quererte

Porque te amo
Y quiero que sepas que te amo
Que tu eres lo máximo y te extraño
Que muero de ganas por tenerte
Porque te amo

Porque te amo
Y quiero que sepas que te amo
Que mi corazón esta en tus manos
Que vivo y respiro por quererte

Porque te amo
Y quiero que sepas que te amo
Que tu eres lo máximo y te extraño

Que muero de ganas por tenerte
Porque te amo

Overall Meaning

Marisela's Te Amo is a poignant ballad about the struggle to let go of someone you love due to pride and misunderstandings. The lyrics depict a situation where both the singer and the subject of her affection have decided to stop pursuing each other, and have stopped calling and seeing one another due to their egos. The decision to let go of each other has left them feeling emptier, as they remember the promises and nights of love they shared at the beginning of their relationship.

Throughout the song, the singer expresses the pain she feels in her heart and soul because of the memories that haunt her. She suffers from losing the person she loves and can't stop feeling sad because of it. The lyrics encapsulate the intense longing and yearning for their relationship to work out, despite the hurt that they have both caused each other. The chorus of the song is a repetition of the phrase "porque te amo," which translates to "because I love you." It is a reminder that even though they are apart, the love between them still exists.

The song is a testament to the power of love and the difficulties that come with accepting that love is worth fighting for. The lyrics urge the listener to not let pride get in the way of the opportunity for genuine love.
