1. Mina, stage name of Mina… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least 8 artists named Mina:
1. Mina, stage name of Mina Anna Mazzini (March 25, 1940, Busto Arsizio, Province of Varese), is an Italian singer. She lives in Switzerland. Although born in a small town of Lombardy, she grew up in Cremona city: where her nickname of "Cremona Tiger" was given to her by her friend, the journalist Natalia Aspesi.
She began her career singing pop songs with a "jazzy" feel in the late 1950s. Her first stage name used to be Baby Gate. After a 1958 concert at La Bussola, a nightclub on the Versilia famous for hosting artists such as Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald, she became a national star in Italy. Her first television appearance was in 1959. In the following two years she took part in the Sanremo Music Festival.
In 1963 her TV and radio career for Rai came to an end, as she refused to hide the fact she was pregnant (she had a relationship with actor Corrado Pani, who was married to Renata Monteduro). However, her unscathed appeal with the audience later made Rai's functionaries call her back. Mina subsequently appeared in numerous TV shows, mostly as a hostess, during the late 1960s and the 1970s. Mina gained also wide popularity abroad, singing also in French, German, Turkish and Japanese. In 1966 she moved her residence to Lugano, Switzerland, obtaining Swiss citizenship in 1989. Her most famous songs were written by the prolific duo Mogol-Battisti. It was Lucio Battisti who wrote the music for many of her hits including, "Amor mio", "Io e te da soli" and "Insieme".
After retiring from public appearances by the end of 1978 she continued to release albums on a yearly basis, usually featured on the top 10 charts in Italy with the new single releases. Recent releases include duets with Fabrizio de André and Adriano Celentano.
2. Mina was an instrumental post-disco band from Germany. They've had two albums released and a remix compilation before splitting up for good.
3. MiNa (Switzerland), a side project of Luk Zimmermann and Jaël Krebs, both members of Lunik. They released the album Playground Princess (2007).
4. Mina (aka "Shin Mina") is a Korean singer who was first a back-dancer for various Korean Pop Artists (Park Jin-Young, and Park Ji-Yoon to name a few). She initially found instant fame as the "World Cup Girl", as photographers noticed her beauty and immediately became the center of attention world-wide over-night. Pictures of her with the "Be The Reds!" bandanna around her chest and the Korean flag used as a skirt were beamed around the world, and she received her 15 minutes of fame. Desiring to elongate that fame, she quickly signed a record deal with J-Entercom Entertainment (labelmates include WAX, JADU, Kim Gun-Mo, Lee Ssang, and Double K) and released her first album, Rendezvous, in the fall of 2002. Although going for the sexy image that was popular at the time (with the single "전화받어" (Answer The Phone) (a cover of a K.I.S.S. song, who were also signed to the label before their break-up), the album failed to sell many copies. She quickly disappeared from the industry but returned in the summer of 2004 with her second album Re:turn 2 Mina. This album proved to be a bit more popular, as her single "돌아" (Turn) caught the attention of the Korean public; it was also supported with live-vocal performances. (JiNi, the main singer from K.I.S.S., contributed uncredited vocals to Mina's album.[citation needed])
Due to internal affairs with J-Entercom Entertainment[citation needed], Mina then left her first record company, and signed with EMI Korea for her third album. Her third album Kiss Kiss came in the fall of 2005 with an even sexier image. Mina trained in Europe in order to belly dance and made her music video for her title track there as well. The cover of the Turkish song, though, failed badly, with the album selling less than 10 000 copies. She has since released an English single for the European market, even going as far as making a MySpace page for the single. However, she has remained in Korea and promoted her poorly-received last single Fly High during the 2006 FIFA World Cup, a tribute to the competition that started her career. At the time, she also released a nude photo album to "inspire" the Korean athletes (note: contains censored picture).
Her fourth album was released in July 2007. Her first single, "Look", features Ak'sent. Because of her relatively late debut, she initially claimed that she was born in 1978. As rumours of her real age began to spread, she eventually admitted that she was born in 1972 and apologized for lying about it for so long.
5. Mina is a German singer.
6. Mina is a Lithuanian rapper.
7. Mina (酒井美直, Mina Sakai) is a Japanese musician and singer. At age 16, she was inspired by a music and dance performance of native Canadians to take pride in her Ainu heritage, and formed the group Ainu Rebels, which mixed traditional Ainu song/dance/fashion with hip-hop elements, in 2006. In 2009, she collaborated with composer Masashi Hamauzu (浜渦正志) to perform vocals for the Final Fantasy XIII soundtrack, and since 2011 has been recording and touring with Hamauzu's band IMERUAT (meaning "lightning" in the Ainu language and possibly inspired by the main character of Final Fantasy XIII) as the vocalist and player of traditional instruments.
8.Mina (Greek : Μίνα Γιαννοπούλου) is a greek singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.
Her first contact with music was at the age of 5 when she started piano lessons and music theory. In her tweens she attended a music-oriented High School where she had the chance to discover more musical instruments as well as to play and sing in ensembles of various styles from folk/traditional to European Classical. She studied harmony, counterpoint and fugue. Her passion and direction towards singing however came as a byproduct of her decision to take formal vocal lessons at her late teens.A few years later she got her singing diploma while at the same time working at the National Opera as a choirist (Operette).
During her vocal training, she studied under important Opera singers/teachers such as Dimitri Kavrakos, Aris Christofellis, Cheryl Studer, Christian Rousset and Natalie Karl.
Her classical training aside, Mina was always into rock and metal music so she constantly found herself treading between those two seemingly opposite styles which she always strived to combine; something that became a reality when she started working on more modern styles finally developing her signaturesinging technique which makes her able to deliver rich, delicate dark colored tone, jazzy, raspy, even whistle registered or full, rock, powerhouse vocals in a range of 3.5 octaves.
In 2010, Mina founded (and was the main composer and lyricist of) the band The Rain I Bleed. Their album Narcissistgot released on August 12th, 2011 by Twilight Zone Records.
After leaving The Rain I Bleed for a chance to further expand her studies in Germany and spending almost 2 years in Stuttgart studying, Mina founded a new melodic project which is soon to release its first single in January, 2014 on ML Records.

Mina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dove va
Chissà
Mi sento donna
Così
Come mai
Fuori c'è un mondo che
Oramai
Io lo so
Io voglio vivere
Anche per me
Scoprire quel che c'è
Io voglio
Apro già la porta
Ma
Arrivi tu
La mente torna
Il cuore mio
Quasi si ferma
E intorno a me
Lo spazio immenso
Che persino io
Non ho più senso
Arrivi tu
Il mondo
È acceso
Quello che era mio
Tu
L'hai già preso
Non ci son più per me
Esitazioni
Ti chiedo solo
Se mi
Perdoni
Tu mi saluti e ti siedi
E poi
Apri il giornale
Non guardi più me
Mi lasci sola così
Perché
Io volo
Senza te
Io voglio vivere
Anche per me
Scoprire quel che c'è
Io voglio
Sono già decisa
Ma
Mi parli tu
La mente torna
Il cuore mio
Quasi si ferma
E intorno a me
Lo spazio immenso
Che persino io
Non ho più senso
Mi parli tu
Il mondo è acceso
Quello che era mio
Tu
L'hai già preso
Non ci son più per me
Esitazioni
Ti chiedo solo

Mina's song La mente torna is a contemplative ballad that reflects on inner thoughts and feelings. The lyrics are structured in two stanzas that mirror each other, with the first stanza discussing the singer's desire to leave their current situation and explore the unknown, and the second stanza showing their hesitation and eventual return to the person who they seem to be in a relationship with.
In the first stanza, the singer voices their desire to break free from the confines of their current situation and live for themselves. They feel a sense of liberation and empowerment, acknowledging that they are a woman and questioning why they feel this way now. The world outside is waiting for them, and they want to explore it and discover what it has to offer. Just as they are about to take that step forward, someone arrives, interrupting their train of thought and changing their direction.
In the second stanza, the singer's mind returns to their relationship with the person who has just arrived. They feel their heart rate increase and sense a strong presence around them. They feel lost and disconnected from the vast world around them, and the only thing that grounds them is the person they're with. They acknowledge that the person has already taken what was theirs, leaving them without any reservations. They ask for forgiveness but receive no response, leaving the singer alone and lost.

La mente va
My mind wanders
Dove va
Wherever it wants
Chissà
Who knows
Mi sento donna
I feel like a woman
Così
So much
Come mai
I wonder why
Fuori c'è un mondo che
There's a world outside that
Oramai
Nowadays
Mi aspetta
Is waiting for me
Io lo so
I know it
Io voglio vivere
I want to live
Anche per me
For myself too
Scoprire quel che c'è
Discover what's out there
Io voglio
I want to
Apro già la porta
I'm already opening the door
Ma
But
Arrivi tu
Then you arrive
La mente torna
My mind returns
Il cuore mio
My heart
Quasi si ferma
Almost stops
E intorno a me
And around me
Lo spazio immenso
The vast space
Che persino io
That even I
Non ho più senso
Don't make sense of
Arrivi tu
You arrive
Il mondo
The world
È acceso
Is lit up
Quello che era mio
What used to be mine
Tu
You
L'hai già preso
You already took it
Non ci son più per me
There's no more for me
Esitazioni
Hesitations
Ti chiedo solo
I only ask you
Se mi perdoni
If you forgive me
Tu mi saluti e ti siedi
You greet me and sit down
E poi
And then
Apri il giornale
You open the newspaper
Non guardi più me
You don't look at me anymore
Mi lasci sola così
You leave me alone like this
Perché
Why
Io volo
I fly
Senza te
Without you
Sono già decisa
I'm already sure
Mi parli tu
You speak to me
Il mondo è acceso
The world is lit up
Quello che era mio
What used to be mine
Tu
You
L'hai già preso
You already took it
Non ci son più per me
There's no more for me
Esitazioni
Hesitations
Ti chiedo solo
I only ask you
Se mi perdoni
If you forgive me

Esta canción de Mina es formidable en su estructura y lo que plantea: una mujer divaga frente al varón del que anhela liberarse porque considera que la relación no le da más y dice, bueno, voy a salir de esto, le pongo la mano al manubrio de la puerta para salir y de repente el maldito, sólo tiene que hablarle, o hacer una seña o un pequeño movimiento para que ella, se detenga y vuelva ya que el mundo para de girar y su corazón casi se detiene por su hombre. Al final, sumisa, lo único que logra hacer luego de la osadía de intentar escapar es pedir perdón al pana. Todo ha sido una divagación mental, de ahí el título de la canción: la mente cambia.

giancarlo sacco
capolavoro di Lucio e Giulio.,,con una fantastica interpretazione di Mina..Brano sofisticato con arrangiamenti al limite ..e un testo meravigloso e anche difficile da recepire al primo ascolto ..Un vero peccato che all'epoca non abbia riscosso il meritato successo ..una canzone superiore ad Amor Mio e a Insieme..scritti sempre da Battisti & Mogol x Mina ..Giancarlo-Battistiano D.O.C.
