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.

Mia Martini Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got a feeling, a feeling I can't hide, oh no no
No, no
I've got a feeling
Oh please believe me, I'd hate to miss the train
Mmm-mmm yeah
And if you leave me, you know I won't be late again
Oh no, no, no I won't
I've got a feeling
All these years I've been wandering around
Wondering how come nobody told me
All that I was looking for was somebody
Who looked like you
(Everybody had a hard year)
Everybody had a good time
Everybody had a wet dream
Everybody saw the sunshine
(Oh yeah), oh yeah, (oh yeah), oh
Everybody had a good year
Everybody let their hair down
Everybody pulled their socks up
Everybody put their foot down
(Oh yeah), oh yeah, (oh yeah), everybody, oh
I've got a feeling that keeps me on my toes, oh yeah
Oh I'll take it yeah, oh I've got a feeling
I think of everybody, everybody singing oh
Oh yeah, I've got a feeling, I've got a feeling, got a feeling
Oh, you know this feeling deep inside baby that keeps me high
