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.
Casi tres decada dando guerra.

Olvídate De Mi
Marta Sánchez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y márchate de aquí
Seductor de salón que olvidó la primera ley
No bromear con el corazón
Pobrecito gigolo
Que se descontroló
Vives por primera vez
Menudo papelón
Para todo un gavilán
Para la reencarnación del mítico don juan
Colegial informal, amoral, un profesional
Que se quedó en un aprendiz
Un intrépido ligón
Amante peculiar
Casanova de ocasión
Que nunca me gustó
Jamás te dejaré
Que puedas presumir
De tenerme junto a tí
Un galán
De los que no me van
Un charlatán vulgar
Que se lo monta mal
Yo no puedo quererte
Te deseo mucha suerte
Acuérdate de lo que digo
Tienes que empezar de cero
Y salir del agujero
The lyrics of Marta Sánchez's song "Olvídate De Mi" convey a strong message of empowerment and independence. The singer tells her suitor to forget about her and leave, highlighting his faults and shortcomings along the way. She refers to him as a "sala seducer" who broke the first rule of not playing with someone's heart, mocking him as a poor gigolo who lost control. The singer then describes him as a "formal schoolboy," an immoral professional who never advanced beyond being an apprentice, an inept womanizer who she never liked. She asserts that she will never let him be able to boast about having her by his side.
The tone of the lyrics is confident and dismissive, as the singer asserts her freedom from the suitor's hold. She emphasizes that she cannot love him and wishes him well, advising him to start from scratch and get out of the hole he has dug himself into. The song ultimately serves as a declaration of self-worth and a rejection of toxic relationships.
