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.

Io Andrò
Mia Martini Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Era nei miei silenzi
Sempre, senza stagioni
Era nelle canzoni che non vivevo io
Era nella mia pelle
Era nel mio cercare
Era voglia d'amare
Quella che avevo in me
Io non tornerò domani

Anche se mi aspetterai
Io non voglio le tue mani
Anche se svegliarmi sai.
Non sarò di chi mi vuole
E non è per onestà
Ci son tante donne sole
Una ti accontenterà
No, io no.Io andrò.
Ho voglia di arrossire
Di avere un "dopo" anch'io.
Voglia di pregare, ma per un solo Dio
Ed ho voglia di amare
Come so amare io.
Io non tornerò domani
Anche se mi aspetterai.
E ti sembrerà che ami
Solo perchè non mi hai.
Io non so che stai provando
E non mi interessa più
Io continuerò, ma amando

Tu fai come credi tu.
No, io no.Io andrò,io avrò.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Mia Martini's song Io Andrò speak of a person's desire for something more in life. The singer is portrayed as someone who has been trying to find happiness and meaning in her life through silence, music, and love. She acknowledges the fact that she has been searching for love, but she is not willing to settle for just anyone who wants her. She believes that there are many other single women out there who are willing to settle, but she is not one of them. She is determined to go her own way and find someone who truly loves her.

The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's decision to leave behind her past and move forward in her life. She is not going to return to the person who is waiting for her, even though they love her. The reason why she is leaving is because she wants something deeper and more fulfilling. The singer wants to experience the passion of love, the thrill of being loved, and the excitement of new experiences. She is not content with settling for something that is just good enough.

Era nei miei silenzi
The feeling was present in my silences

Sempre, senza stagioni
Always, without seasons

Era nelle canzoni che non vivevo io
It was in the songs that I didn't live

Era nella mia pelle
It was in my skin

Era nel mio cercare
It was in my search

Era voglia d'amare
It was the desire to love

Quella che avevo in me
That which I had within me

Io non tornerò domani
I will not return tomorrow

Anche se mi aspetterai
Even if you wait for me

Io non voglio le tue mani
I do not want your hands

Anche se svegliarmi sai.
Even though you know how to wake me up
