Marta gets dressed in my room
It's six in the morning
The sun's already coming up
Her clothes thrown all over the floor
There's a scent of night
There's a scent of fire
And she smiles telling me
That even though it was crazy, I had a good time
She looks me in the eyes and says goodbye
As if what happened last night never happened
You know, Marta
I would give half my life and something more
Only to be with you
Hey Marta
Please don't walk out of my life
Let me at least be
Your friend
Marta kisses me for the last time
Her mouth still tastes sweet like honey to me
I ask her to swear that she'll call me
Her way of laughing means maybe
Her legs defy the dawn
There's no doubt she knows how to do it
You know, Marta
I would give half my life and something more
Only to be with you
Hey Marta
Please don't walk out of my life
Let me at least be
Your friend
No no no
Marta kisses me for the last time
Her mouth still tastes sweet like honey to me
You know, Marta
I would give half my life and something more
Only to be with you
Hey Marta
Please don't walk out of my life
Let me at least be
Your friend

SONG MEANING

Picture the scene: dawn breaks at 6 a.m., clothes are scattered across the floor, and the lingering scent of a wild, fiery night hangs in the air. That is where Enrique Iglesias begins his story in “Marta,” introducing us to a magnetic woman who slips back into her outfit with a playful smile while the songwriter is still caught up in their whirlwind of passion. The sunrise feels both intimate and cinematic, capturing the heady mix of excitement, temptation, and the hazy after-glow of a once-in-a-lifetime encounter.

Yet beneath the sultry surface lies a bittersweet confession. Enrique’s narrator falls hard, confessing he would trade “half his life and more” just to keep Marta close—or at least stay in her orbit as a friend. Marta, however, treats the night like a beautiful secret that never happened. Her teasing “maybe” about calling back turns the song into a bittersweet anthem about fleeting romance: the ache of wanting something deeper when the other person is already slipping away. In a swirl of sunrise colors, “Marta” captures the thrill of an unforgettable night and the heartbreak of realizing it might be the last.
