"Almeno Stavolta" ("At Least This Time") is a heartfelt plea for a second chance. Nek sings from the perspective of someone who feels the distance growing in a relationship yet refuses to give up. He is not interested in blaming or interrogating his partner; instead, he wants them to pause the hostility, listen, and remember who they used to be together. Lines like "Ridammi l'effetto di un battito nel petto" ("Give me back the effect of a heartbeat in my chest") capture his yearning to revive the excitement that once made their hearts race.
The song’s mood balances vulnerability with determination. Nek admits they may both be tired, weighed down by flaws and unanswered questions, but he believes courage and honest eye-to-eye conversation can cut through the doubt. By asking for just one hour, one moment of genuine openness, he hopes to spark a renewed desire to stay and shout each other’s names with passion again. Ultimately, "Almeno Stavolta" reminds listeners that love often survives when we silence our fears long enough to truly listen and face each other.
