Lyrics: [F.RIEBL/R.MONRO/J.KHADIWALA]
I know my way, I know my star
Marina mas allá
No one fears who we are
Marina ven para acá
Always near, always far
El cielo alcanzarás
Know my way know my star
Es vida lo que das
No me digas lo que és
Lo que viene mas allá
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
La Marina va pa’ allá
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
La Marina de Bahia
Ooh Marina, Ooh my love, Ooh Marina,
My heart is beating like a drum, my heart is beating like a drum,
My heart is beating like a drum, my heart is beating like a drum

About:
Formed in Melbourne, Australia and adored the world over, The Cat Empire is a musical success story that continues to be written. Throughout their 20 year career, the band's stratospheric trajectory has continued unabated, becoming one of Australia's most successful musical exports, growing an army of ardent fans at home and abroad.

Since their teens, the six bound together by a love of music, and bolstered by the career-long guidance of Manager Correne Wilkie, have gone about the business of crafting infectious, genre-embracing anthems and releasing chart-topping, multi-platinum albums to take to the live stage. It was not unusual to find the band performing on main stage bills at iconic international festivals, selling out the world's most famous arenas, mobbed by supporters and media at airports in Spain, and appearing on top rating T.V. shows like Letterman and Leno.

In September 2021, The Cat Empire announced that after 20 years, the band's original line-up would play their final shows together, culminating in a massive show and virtual concert from their hometown of Melbourne in December.

The next chapter of The Cat Empire begins with founding members Felix Riebl and Ollie McGill stepping forward with "a re-imagined, vibrant, cross-cultural, and joyful collective of musicians and artists", with new music planned for 2022.

The Cat Empire:
Vocals: Felix Riebl
Vocals & Trumpet: Harry James Angus

i love the intro, it embodies very well the emotions felt prior to picking someone up for a date, the excitement, mistery, the nervousness, talking to your date's dad, i loved it, if you are not married yet, enjoy that at its fullest.... i didnt care about the rest of the video.
