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.

Tus Mentiras
Marisela Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hoy viviendo ya de tus mentiras,
Sé que tu cariño no es sincero
Sé que mientes al besar
Y mientes al decir te quiero

Me resigno porque sé que pago,
Mi maldad de ayer
Siempre fui llevada por la mala

Y es por eso que te quiero tanto

Más si das a mi vivir la dicha,
Con tu amor fingido
Miénteme una eternidad,
Que me hace tu maldad feliz

Sé que mientes al besar
Y mientes al decir te quiero
Me resigno porque sé que pago
Mi maldad de ayer

Siempre fui llevada por la mala
Y es por eso que te quiero tanto
Más si das a mi vivir la dicha,
Con tu amor fingido

Miénteme una eternidad
Que me hace tu maldad feliz

Y que más da
La vida es una mentira

Miénteme más,
Que me hace tu maldad feliz

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Marisela's song "Tus Mentiras" describes a toxic relationship where the singer is aware of being deceived by her lover but chooses to accept his lies. She knows that his love is insincere and that he lies even when he kisses her and when he says "I love you." She resigns herself to this fate because she believes she deserves it due to her past actions. She has always been drawn to bad things and that's why she loves her partner so much. The singer convinces herself that living in this deception and being happy in it is better than a life without love. She even asks her partner to keep lying to her because his deceit makes her happy.

The song shows how sometimes, people knowingly stay in unhealthy relationships, accepting lies and deceit just to feel loved. The singer's past actions and self-esteem issues reflect the reasons why she chooses to stay in this kind of relationship, as she feels that this is what she deserves. She acknowledges that life is full of untruths and that her partner's lies are no different. The constant repetition of the phrase "Que me hace tu maldad feliz" (your malice makes me happy) implies that the singer has a twisted perception of love, believing that deceit and lies are what makes a relationship successful.
