Born on May 7, 1962, in Graz, Martin studied solo singing at Kunstuniversitдt Graz (i.e., University of Music and Dramatic Arts) in 1982 and, as a means of financing her studies, sung lead vocals in the tanzband the Heart Breakers from 1986 until 1992. Her band released one album, Dafьr Dank' Ich Dir (1990), billing itself as the Heart Breakers mit Dr. Ilse Bauer. During this period, Martin also studied art history and ethnology, earning her Ph.D. in 1990; from 1990 until 2000 she worked as an art teacher, starting her own ceramics business in Graz in 1994.
In 1995 Martin embarked on her solo singing career, signing to Koch Records and proceeding to release her solo debut, La Luna Blu (1996). The album spawned one of her all-time hits in the title track, which competed for the Grand Prix der Volksmusik, ultimately winning second place among Austrian participants. Martin's second album, Immer Nur Sehnsucht (1997), also put her in the running for the Austrian Grand Prix der Volksmusik, spawning the major hit "Goodbye Farewell." Martin's third album, Klinge Mein Lied (1999), became her most successful to date -- her first to reach gold sales status -- despite not spawning a hit on the level of "La Luna Blu" or "Goodbye Farewell."
Well established as a hitmaker with commercial appeal, Martin retired from teaching in 2000 and began focusing on her singing career full-time. A long string of popular albums resulted, including Mein Liebeslied (2000), Napoli Adieu (2001), Drei Stimmen d'Amour (2001; co-featuring Mara Kayer and Francine Jordi), Mein Gefьhl (2002), Das Beste von Monika Martin (2002), Himmel aus Glas (2003), Eine Liebe Reicht fьr Zwei (2004), Ave Maria: Lieder zur Stillen Zeit (2004), Ein Kleines Glьck (2005), Schmetterling d'Amour (2005), Heute Fьhl' Ich Mich Wie Zwanzig (2006), and Aloha Blue (2007) -- most of which were Top 20, if not Top Ten, hits in Austria and anywhere from Top 50 to Top 100 hits in Germany. Her most popular singles during this period include "Gib Einem Kind Deine Hand" (2000), "Schweige Mein Herz" (2000), "My Love" (2000), "Napoli Adieu" (2001), "Hast Du Heute Schon Gelдchelt" (2002), "Eine Liebe Reicht fьr Zwei" (2004), "Ich Trдum Mich Heute Nacht in Deine Arme" (2005), and "Heute Fьhl Ich Mich Wie Zwanzig" (2006). ~ Jason Birchmeier
Es war doch alles nur ein Traum
Monika Martin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mit jeder Regung in dir drin
Von zu Beginn als wir uns trafen
Mein ganzes Leben seinen Sinn
Wie du bist und wie du handelst
Ist fur mich kein offenes Buch
Und manches Mal, wenn du es zulast
Find' ich auch, wonach ich such!
Dennoch feher ein einzig Stuck
Von den vielen winzig kleinen
Dir du gilst inn Augenblick
Und klopft mein Herz ganz leis' an dich
So sagst du mir, beruhr mich nicht
Ich kann das Gluck mit dir nicht teilen.
Es war doch alles nur ein Traum
In Monika Martin's song "Es war doch alles nur ein Traum" (It Was All Just a Dream), the lyrics describe the complexity and mystery of human emotions and relationships. The singer describes her partner's face as speaking a thousand languages, with every movement representing something deeper within them. The relationship with this person has given the singer's life a sense of purpose, but she still struggles to understand the person fully, as they are not an open book. Despite this, the singer occasionally finds what she is looking for in their conversations.
The lyrics also mention the partner's great accomplishments, yet the person still has flaws that make them unique and special. The singer's heart beats silently for this person, but when she asks to be touched, the person refuses, saying they cannot share their happiness. The final line of the song repeats that it was all just a dream, emphasizing the idea that sometimes we may never fully understand people's emotions or intentions.
One interpretation of these lyrics could be that they represent the universal struggle to understand and connect with others on a deep emotional level. Despite the complexities and challenges that come with relationships, the singer finds value in them and continues to seek out meaningful connections, even if they can only be found in fleeting moments.

침묵은 그리움의 시위/
김월한
오락가락 내리는 비가
방앗간에 드나드는 양상군자 같다
안개 바람은 속절없는
그리움으로 노도처럼 밀려오거늘
세월 속에 묻어두고 온 한 줄기 사연은
내 기억의 실마리를 풀어
가는 세월의 독백으로
지난날의 그리움이 머물고 있다
오늘도 그렇게 당신과의 여정은
침묵의 시위로 꿈속을 걷고 있답니다
