Marta Sanchez - Estrellas De Fuego (1998)

Marta Sánchez López was born on 8 May 1966 in Madrid, Spain. Her father, Antonio Sánchez Camporro, was a Galician opera singer. Marta's music career began with the band Cristal Oskuro, but shortly after she was discovered by Tino Azores, a sound technician for the pop group Olé Olé. In 1985, Marta became the lead singer of Olé Olé, which brought her to fame and made her one of the biggest sex symbols of the 1980s in Spain, during a time when the country was easing the traditional rigid moral values of Catholicism. Her first hit with Olé-Olé was 'Lilly Marleen', a Spanish adaptation of the popular World War II German love song. Other hits like 'Bailando Sin Salir de Casa' and 'Con Sólo Una Mirada' followed with the group. She remained with the band until 1991 before deciding to pursue a solo career.
In 1993, Marta released her debut solo album, Mujer. Her first single 'Desesperada' was released both in Spain and The Americas. Mujer's 2nd single, 'Tal Vez' was provided by Thomas Anders - of Modern Talking fame - but it was the 3rd single 'De Mujer a Mujer' which would establish her as a household name all over Latin America.
Her 4th album - Desconocida - released in 1998 which includes 'Estrellas De Fuego' was released in 1998. This one caught my attention, and remains to be one of my favourite Spanish language tracks of all time.

Lyrics:

El cielo es un velo
de terciopelo de irreal suavidad... ahahahaha

Estrellas de hielo
que están de duelo con su luz fantasmal...

Ah, ah, ah
Yo no sé cuál es la que brilla para mí
Ah, ah, ah
Díme tú cuál es la que tengo que seguir...

Estrellas de fuego
Con ellas juego a volar más allá.

Ah, ah, ah
Yo no sé cuál es la que brilla para mí.
Ah, ah, ah
Díme tú cuál es la que tengo que seguir.
Ah, ah, ah
Yo no sé cuál es la que brilla para mí
Ah, ah, ah
Díme tú cuál es la que tengo que seguir....

Cuentan la verdad en esta inmensidad
Volveré a imaginar que son mías nada más.
Y que nadie las puede jamás - alcanzar...

Ah, ah, ah
Yo no sé cuál es la que brilla para mí
Ah, ah, ah
Díme tú cuál es la que tengo que seguir
Ah, ah, ah
Yo no sé cuál es la que brilla para mí
Ah, ah, ah
Díme tú cuál es la que tengo que seguir...

Flotan en la oscuridad...
en esta inmensidad... ahahahaha

Ha ha...
Volveré a imaginar....
