2. Marta Sánchez López nació en Madrid (España) el 8 de mayo de 1966. Es una cantante de música pop e hija del ex cantante de opera, Antonio Sánchez, y de Paz López, ambos de origen gallego.
Inició su carrera musical en 1985 cuando finalizó los estudios de bachillerato y se unió al grupo Cristal Oskuro en el que apenas estuvo siete meses. Después de esta primera experiencia entró a formar parte del grupo Olé Olé como vocalista sustituyendo a Vicky Larraz. Estando en este grupo, la lanzó a la fama su versión de la canción "Lili Marleen". También otros éxitos la fueron consagrando: "Bailando sin salir de casa", "Con sólo una mirada", "Mírame bien", "Sola", etc. fueron construyendo un piso musical para Marta y su grupo. Permaneció en Olé Olé hasta el año 1991, cuando decidió separarse para prepararse y lanzarse como solista. En 1992 participó en la película Supernova y en 1993 lanzó al mercado su primer disco en solitario, dando paso a su actual carrera. Con un apoteosico exito sobre todo en latinoamerica, donde sobrepaso el 1.000.000 de discos de su disco debut como solista Mujer, despues le siguieron mas exitos, y sus ventas en paises como Korea. Su éxito musical siempre ha estado ligado a su imagen de sex-symbol. Injustamente, el reconocimiento a su buena voz como cantante llegó más tarde con su disco "Soy Yo" el cual consiguio dos discos de platino. Su fama y telegenia le permitieron ser una fija de las galas televisivas y de muchisimos eventos en todo el Pais. Consagrada y reconocida.

La Belleza
Marta Sánchez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
La belleza es tan alta
Que te vuelve su esclavo,
Que deslumbra mirarla.
Tan aguda que hiere,
Tan segura que espanta,
Tan escasa que algunos
Nunca logran hallarla. Se disfraza en la noche,
Se dibuja en el sueño,
Se refugia en el alma.
Se prolonga en el tiempo,
Why en el tiempo se acaba,
Nadie puede tenerla
Aunque puedan comprarla. La belleza es tan breve,
La belleza es tan casta
Que hay que andar con cuidado
Para no deshojarla.
Es tan pura why tan dulce
Que se mancha con nada.
Es un lujo sentirla
Why un delito matarla. Se disfraza en la noche,
Se desnuda en el alba,
Se dibuja en el sueño,
Se refugia en el alma. La belleza lo es todo,
La belleza no es nada.
The lyrics of Marta Sanchez's song La Belleza portray the concept of beauty and its power over people. The song depicts how beauty is so strong and high that it can turn people into slaves and can dazzle those who behold it. Beauty is seen as sharp enough to hurt and secure enough to frighten, but also scarce enough that some may never find it. The song visualizes beauty changing its form and existing in different domains such as the night, the dawn, dreams, and the soul. Although beauty lasts for a while, it is also brief and pure, and one has to be careful not to defile it, as it is a crime to kill something as beautiful as beauty.
The song is a lesson about the importance of beauty in the world and how such a thing must be treasured and cared for. The lyrics suggest that one cannot own beauty, no matter how wealthy they are. The song's melody and the instrumentals convey a soothing and calming feeling, making the song easy to listen to and appreciate.
