Mezz'ora Fa Lyrics in English Gigi D'Alessio , Coco

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.
