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.

Lejos De Aquella Noche
Marta Sánchez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cuando tu te vas
Despierto en las noches
Y no te puedo encontrar
Pues vida sin tu calor
No puedo más vivir
Busqué y seguí tus pasos
Sin lograrte conseguir
En que a mi regresaste
Y gracias a ti logré vivir
Siendo la luz
Y lejos de aquella noche
Rozando tu piel
Sintiendo que el mundo a nuestros pies
Será fiel testigo
De un alma que brilla otra vez
Con la belleza del amor
Si el amor es eterno
Junto a ti estaré
No hay palabra que exprese
Lo que siento aquí en mi ser
Es amor y algo más
Lo que siento por tí
Y espero que tú sientas igual
The lyrics of Marta Sanchez's Lejos De Aquella Noche depict the struggle of feeling close to someone when they are physically absent. The singer says that they wake up in the night and cannot find their loved one, and that life without their warmth is unbearable. They search for their loved one but cannot find them, until they eventually return one day. The singer hails their return, recognizing that it was their presence that allowed them to live.
The second verse of the song talks about the joy of being with the loved one. The singer feels the "beauty of love" and believes that their souls are shining together. They pledge to be with their loved one forever because they feel that love with them is eternal.

Que épocas. Cuando estaba estudiando en la pre en 1995. En serio, está música es hermosa y en su momento no me di cuenta. Pero si lo viví oh los noventas, cuándo había melodía, contenido y creatividad
