Almeno Stavolta Lyrics in English Nek

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Almeno Stavolta by Nek from Italian to English.
If you don't wanna trust
At least listen to me
Staying hostile to me
Outro
Doesn't help you
Or me
I don't wanna question you
Or throw back what you do
I'm instead looking for
Who we used to be
At least this time
At least listen
At least this time
With the courage to face each other
Give me back the rush of a heartbeat in my chest
Maybe we're tired
Maybe it's our temper
The list of flaws
You made it
I never did
Now stop thinking
About a problem that's not there
And give me time to nail down
All your whys
At least this time
At least listen
At least this time
With the courage to face each other
Give me back
The rush
Of a heartbeat in my chest
I'm here
Tonight
Behind a yes
That won't start
At least this time
Wanting to face each other
Hoping that an hour
Makes you wanna give yourself again
And so I don't know how
You'll scream my name
If you don't wanna trust
At least listen to me
Staying hostile to me
Doesn't help you
Or me

SONG MEANING

"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.
