Marta wears green eyes
And a sun stamped on her head
With her white convertible
She drives around the city
Flowers grow wherever she steps
She's the queen of the place
She liked to fly
She liked to play
To disconnect from you
It's been a while that she flew off
Without saying goodbye to me
But Marta says nothing now
Because there's nothing else that she can say
She took my colored paints
She left me stranded in this weird world
But Marta says nothing now
Because there's nothing else that she can say
She took my colored paints
She left me stranded in this weird world
Marta, through Madrid
An elf with a sad gaze
A mirror for loneliness
That always goes after her
She'll never turn fifty
And you don't want to find out
That anyway it was hard for her to keep going
And she liked to fly, she liked to play
But Marta says nothing now
Because there's nothing else that she can say
She took my colored paints
She left me stranded in this weird world
But Marta says nothing now
Because there's nothing else that she can say
She took my colored paints
She left me stranded in this weird world
But Marta says nothing now
Because there's nothing else that she can say
She took my colored paints
She left me stranded in this weird world
Marta
Marta
Marta
Marta

SONG MEANING

Meet Marta: a green-eyed whirlwind cruising Madrid in her white convertible, leaving imaginary flowers blooming on the asphalt wherever she goes. Nena Daconte introduces her as the queen of every hang-out, a playful soul who loves to "fly" and disconnect from everyday worries. With vivid brushes of poetry, the song paints Marta as pure, unstoppable sparkle.

But the chorus quickly turns bittersweet. "Marta ya no dice nada" — she no longer speaks because she is simply gone. Whether she drove off for good, slipped into another life, or passed away, the narrator is left in a colorless world, her "paints" stolen by Marta’s disappearance. The melody dances, yet the lyrics ache with the shock of losing a friend who seemed eternal. This contrast makes the song both a celebration of Marta’s irrepressible spirit and a tender elegy to the holes that vibrant people leave behind.
