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.
I Do This For You

Do you really get the whole picture?
Watching 3D, color by color
There's more than all this pretty
If you look under the cover
I do this for you, I only do this for you
I do this for you, I only do this for you
Can't you see me, I'll go down later
I'm not hiding under no filter
I set my heart on fire to make my love shine brighter
I'd give it all if you're ready to take it
I do this for you, I only do this for you
I do this for you, I only do this for you
I do this for you, I only do this for you
I do this for you, I only do this for you
I give it all, I'm turning inside out
I'm giving up, if you don't know by now
You're everything I see, why don't you save me?
And all I really need is you to need me
I do it, I do it, I do it, I do it
I do this for you, I only do this for you
I do this for you, I only do this for you
I do this for you, I only do this for you
I do this for you, I only do this for you
I do this for you
The lyrics of Marlene's song "I Do This For You" express a longing for connection and understanding. The first verse paints a picture of someone who is often seen but not truly understood. The use of technology and filters to present oneself adds layers that can obscure one's true nature. The singer is suggesting that even with those layers, there is more to be discovered if one looks beneath the surface. The chorus reveals that the singer is doing all of this self-expression and vulnerability for the sake of the person listening. Their desire is to be truly heard and received by this person.
The second verse continues this theme but offers more insight into the singer's intentions. They claim to be setting their heart on fire to make their love shine brighter. This metaphorical language suggests that the singer is willing to put in the work to make their relationship work. They are willing to give everything they have to the person they are singing to. The bridge uses repetition to drive home the point that the singer is doing all of this for the sake of the person they desire. They are willing to turn themselves inside out and give everything up if it means being seen and understood by this person.
Overall, the lyrics of "I Do This For You" express a deep desire for connection and vulnerability in a relationship. The singer is willing to do whatever it takes to be heard and received by the person they are singing to.
