Sono stata una cover-girl
su riviste per uomini soli
preoccupata di tenere
i seni spinti bene in fuori
con un brandy tra le gambe
e una moto dietro la schiena
all'inizio ero felice
poi mi sono fatta pena.
Io donna, io persona
avvilit come un oggetto
come bambola da letto
io non voglio essere schiava
e neppure esser padrona
voglio essere soltanto
una donna,una persona.
Sono stata una madre esemplare
sei bambini da allevare
un aborto ogni due anni
e io zitta a sopportare
se il mio uomo mi picchiava
mi ammiravano i vicini
il mio odio ed il mio amore
lo sfogavo sui bambini.
Io donna, io persona
avvilita come un oggetto
come bambola da letto
io non voglio essere schiava
e neppure esser padrona
voglio essere soltanto
una donna, una persona.
Sono stata una vedova austera
sempre forte, sempre nera
sono stata d'esempio per tutti
non uscivo mai la sera
tanti uomini m'hanno cercata
finché in una notte strana
ho aperto la mia porta
m'hanno dato della puttana.
Io donna, io persona
invenduta sulla strada
ma innalzata come santa
io non voglio essere schiava
e neppure esser padrona
voglio essere soltanto
una donna, una persona
Mia Martini, born Domenica Rita Adriana Bertè (1947-1995), was one of the most important and beloved Italian singers. Born in Bagnoli Irpino, in the province of Avellino, she began her musical career in the 1970s, captivating audiences with her powerful and emotive voice, characterized by a unique and recognizable timbre. Her music, ranging from songwriting to pop-rock, was often introspective and deeply personal, touching on themes such as love, loneliness, and the search for identity. Among her most famous songs are "Minuetto", "Al di là", "E non ho paura", "Ti lascio andare" and "Il cielo in una stanza". Mia Martini collaborated with some of the greatest Italian musicians, including Lucio Dalla and Francesco De Gregori. Her career was marked by both discographic successes and personal struggles. Her untimely death in 1995 left an unfillable void in Italian music.
