Mia was born in 1947 in Bagnara Calabra (province of Reggio Calabria, southern Italy), but soon she moved to Rome with her sister (Loredana Bertè) and her friend Renato Zero. Both of them would eventually become successful singers too.
She recorded her first records as Mimì Bertè, but she soon decided to change her name to the more appealing Mia Martini.
Her biggest hits were "Piccolo Uomo", which was recorded in several languages, "Almeno tu nell'universo", which is considered her masterpiece and has been covered by several famous Italian singers including Mina and Elisa, and "Minuetto" among many others.
She represented Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest twice: in 1977 with "Libera (song)" (13th out of 18), and in 1992 with "Rapsodia" (4th out of 23).
Her career ended tragically in 1995 when she was found dead under mysterious circumstances in her apartment at Cardano al Campo, near Milan.

E parlo ancora di te
Mia Martini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Che mi succede stasera?
Ho la mia vita
Va bene com'è…
E vivo senza te.
Se parlo ancora di te
E' solo un caso stasera.
Ho un altro uomo
Io vivo senza te.
E parlo ancora di te,
Ma non succede ogni sera.
Torna il mio uomo,
Preparo il caffè
E intanto penso a…
Ho la mia vita
Va bene com'è
Io vivo senza te
Mia Martini's song "E parlo ancora di te" is a touching ballad about moving on after a painful breakup. The lyrics express a mixture of emotions as the singer talks about the person she used to love, admitting that she still thinks about them sometimes, but ultimately declaring that she has moved on and is happy without them.
The opening line, "E parlo ancora di te" (And I'm still talking about you), immediately sets the tone for the song. The singer is addressing the person she used to love, even though they are no longer together. She wonders why she is still thinking about them after all this time, but then rationalizes that it's just a passing feeling.
As the song continues, the singer acknowledges that her life has changed since the breakup. She has found another man who loves her and treats her well, and she is content with her current situation. However, despite this, she still speaks of her ex-lover, albeit less frequently.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Ho la mia vita, va bene com'è" (I have my life, it's fine as it is), emphasizing that the singer is happy without her former love in her life. Yet, she can't help but think about the past from time to time.
Overall, "E parlo ancora di te" is a poignant depiction of the complexities of moving on from a past relationship. It shows the listener that while it is possible to heal from heartbreak, memories of the past can linger.

This song reached me in America. It's a beautiful example of Mia Martini's soulful singing. After I heard this song once, I was marked forever.

Che bella "riscoperta": a chi non capita di parlare nel tempo delle persone che gli sono rimaste nel cuore ?
Hai ragione Mia: e parliamo ancora di te.
Che straordinaria coppia Mia e Fossati !!
