Tendo gravado mais de quatro mil canções em sua carreira, Marlene foi um dos maiores mitos do rádio brasileiro em sua época de ouro. Sua popularidade nacional também resultou em convites para o cinema (onze filmes depois de Corações sem Piloto, de 1944) e para o teatro (cinco peças após Depois do Casamento, em 1952), tendo também trabalhado em cinco revistas depois de Deixa Que Eu Chuto (1950). Suas atividades internacionais incluíam turnês pelo Uruguai, Argentina, Estados Unidos (onde se apresentou no Waldorf-Astoria Hotel e em Chicago) e França (apresentando-se por quatro meses e meio no Teatro Olympia em Paris, a convite de Édith Piaf, que a vira no Copacabana Palace, no Rio). Também compositora, teve seu samba-canção A grande verdade (parceria com Luís Bittencourt) gravado por Dalva de Oliveira, em 1951.

Marlene Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I heard you're going for
I wanna ride with you in a back seat of your car
I heard you're tired of it
You know, I'm tired too
I'm sick of empty pockets
Can I, can I come with you?
We're the new bonnie & clyde
You should team up with me
Let me be your company
I wanna hear they sayin'
Bon voyage, bon bon voyage
You and I, come take me far away
Bon voyage, bon bon voyage
We'll be gold and safe forever baby
Bon voyage
I wanna see the coastline
For where we are
I wanna see the sunlight
Through the window of your car
I heard it's something different
Different point of view
I wanna go there since
Can I, can I come with you?
If you wanna run and hide
We're the new bonnie & clyde
You should team up with me
Let me be your company
I wanna hear they sayin'
Bon voyage, bon bon voyage
You and I, come take me far away
Bon voyage, bon bon voyage
We'll be gold and safe forever baby
Bon voyage
Bon bon voyage
Bon bon voyage
Bon bon voyage
Bon bon voyage
Bon voyage, bon bon voyage
You and I, come take me far away
Bon voyage, bon bon voyage
We'll be gold and safe forever baby
Bon voyage
Bon bon voyage
Bon bon voyage
Bon bon voyage
Bon bon voyage
