Enough, I'm tired already

You still ask me if she's there

Anyway, I'm ready now, this time I'll tell you the truth

That real one exists, you weren't wrong when you talked about her

When I lay down, the bed smelled of her

And that blue jacket with my name

No, it's not true that a buddy bought it for me

It was her, with her own money

They saw us together on Via Roma a week ago

Maybe that's why you never did these things for me

Maybe those absurd dinners with your b*stard friends

A lousy court always ready to condemn

Someone who, while doing chores, listens to the radio and wants to sing

Holy Mother, you know what a shame when they find out

That your own husband could have as a lover

A young girl born in a basement in the Sanità

Who mangles Italian to sound more like her mom

You who never understood anything

Because you don't feel anything different from the one I'm replacing you with

How much time lost, that we'll never find again

She's here in my bed, yet in the dark she looks like you

I know you have secrets you maybe never told me

And that sometimes you lie when they ask you about us

Three in the morning, I'm home, she just left

Streetlights outside cast a weird light

Who knows if you're awake or have already fallen asleep

With the phone in your hand waiting for a call from me

We hurt each other just to stay here

But in love the one who loses isn't the one who leaves

And I see you again every time I look elsewhere

But maybe we're just lonely people

Maybe that's why you never did these things for me

Maybe those absurd dinners with your b*stard friends

A lousy court always ready to condemn

Someone who, while doing chores, listens to the radio and wants to sing

Holy Mother, you know what a shame when they find out

That your own husband could have as a lover

A young girl born in a basement in the Sanità

Who mangles Italian to sound more like her mom

You who never understood anything

Because you don't feel anything different from the one I'm replacing you with

SONG MEANING

Mezz'ora Fa drops us right into a smoky Neapolitan late-night drama. Over a bittersweet piano and urban beat, Gigi D’Alessio switches between standard Italian and the vibrant Neapolitan dialect to confess that he is done hiding. In rapid-fire images—an unmistakable blue jacket, the scent of another woman on his sheets, a walk down Via Roma—he tears off the band-aid and admits to his wife that the rumors are true. The “other woman” is a young girl from the Sanità district who even bends her Italian to sound more like her mother’s dialect. Around them spins a hypocritical “tribunale,” a gossip court ready to judge, while Gigi’s narrator feels the weight of guilt, shame, and exhaustion.

Coco’s verse slides in like a 3 a.m. voice note, adding a modern, R&B-flavored perspective. He pictures himself alone in bed after the lover leaves, phone in hand, wondering if the partner he betrayed is still awake. Together, the two voices reveal a brutal truth: in love there are no real winners. We cling to secrets, hurt the people we care about, and end up just “persone sole”—lonely souls—searching for connection in the wrong places. The song is both a confession and a cautionary tale, set against the colorful, romantic, and sometimes unforgiving backdrop of Naples.
