Marta Marrero, conhecida artisticamente como Martika (Whittier, Califórnia, 18 de Maio de 1969), é uma cantora e atriz norte-americana.
Martika lançou seu primeiro disco intitulado Martika em 1988, o qual a tornou um fenômeno da música. Quando de seu début na vida artística, todos se apaixonaram pela então menina de voz angelical e ar inocente, que radiava talento e beleza e dona de um enorme carisma. Em seu repertório há músicas como as dançantes More Than You Know e I Feel the Earth Move e Water, que desperta a imaginação e nos convida a viajar para um lugar paradisíaco, quem sabe até mesmo Cuba, terra natal de seus pais. Há ainda a preciosa Love... Thy Will Be Done, que, além de ter feito parte da trilha sonora internacional da novela global Felicidade, foi adotada por algumas igrejas e acabou se tornando um hino gospel. Não pode ser esquecida também a canção que a levou ao estrelato, Toy Soldiers.
lying in your bed on a Saturday night you're sweatin' buckets and it's not even hot but your brain has got the message and it's sending it out to every nerve and every muscle you've got
you've got so many dreams that you don't know where to put 'em so you'd better turn a few of 'em loose your body's got a feeling that it's starting to rust you'd better rev it up and put it to use
and I don't know how I ever thought that I could make it all alone when you only make it better and it better be tonight and we'll fly away on those angel wings of chrome in your daddy's car waiting there for you tonight I'll be there for you tonight
even if you don't have anywhere to go you go down on the pedal and you're ready to roll and even if you don't have anywhere to go you go down on the pedal and you're ready to roll and your speed is all you'll ever need all you'll ever need to know darlin', darlin'
you and me we're goin' nowhere slowly and we've gotta get away from the past there's nothin' wrong with goin' nowhere, baby but we should be goin' nowhere fast
everybody's goin' nowhere slowly they're only fighting for the chance to be last there's nothin' wrong with goin' nowhere, baby but we should be goin' nowhere fast it's so much better goin' nowhere fast
stalkin' in the shadows by the light of the moon it's like a prison and the night is a cell goin' anywhere has gotta be heaven tonight 'cause stayin' here has gotta be hell dyin' in the city like a fire on the water let's go runnin' on the back of the wind there's gotta' be some action on the face of the earth and I've gotta see your face once again
and I don't know where I ever got the bright idea that I was cool so alone and independent but I'm depending on you now and you'll always be the only thing that I just can't be without and I'm out for you tonight I'm comin' out for you tonight
even if you don't have anywhere to go you go down on the pedal and you're ready to roll (ready to roll) even if you don't have anywhere to go you go down on the pedal and you're ready to roll and your speed is all you'll ever need all you'll ever need to know darlin', darlin'
you and me we're goin' nowhere slowly and we've gotta get away from the past there's nothin' wrong with goin' nowhere, baby but we should be goin' nowhere fast
everybody's goin' nowhere slowly they're only fighting for the chance to be last there's nothin' wrong with goin' nowhere, baby but we should be goin' nowhere fast
godspeed godspeed godspeed speed us away
...(We're goin' nowhere fast
