La Metà Di Niente Lyrics in English Nek

Home / Lyrics Translation / Nek / La Metà Di Niente

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Metà Di Niente by Nek from Italian to English.

What are you waiting for

Can't you see I'm here?

One single step would be enough to

reach me

It's not that far

the point between us

I haven't touched your hand for

an eternity

and I don't like that

How come you've got no words to answer?

What are you doing?

You stop

If you're missing now

we won't be anymore

like we always were

love takes two

I can't be this half of nothing

You don't talk to me anymore

I don't hear you anymore

You don't come

Then you kill me with your distance

and you leave me without belonging

half of nothing

What are you thinking about?

Tell me how you're doing?

You're right I'm running but

I stay here

and this time I want to fool myself

How come you don't feel like fighting anymore?

What are you doing?

You fade out

If you're missing now

we won't be anymore

like we always were

love takes two

I can't be this half of nothing

You don't talk to me anymore

I don't hear you anymore

You don't come

Then you kill me with your distance

and you leave me without belonging

half of nothing

You don't talk to me anymore

I don't hear you anymore

You don't come

You don't touch me anymore

You don't smile anymore

You hide

and you don't look for me anymore

I can't find you anymore

When you come back let me know

if you kill me with your distance

and you leave me without belonging

half of nothing

SONG MEANING

La Metà Di Niente ("Half of Nothing") is Nek’s heartfelt cry from the edge of a love that is slipping away. The singer stands just one step from his partner, desperately waving for attention, but silence and distance answer him instead. Every unanswered question makes him feel like la metà di niente – half a person, weightless, unanchored. The lyrics feel like a conversation stuck in one ear: he pleads, waits, repeats, while she retreats behind a wall of unspoken words. The chorus hammers home that love only works in pairs; if one side disappears, what remains is a painful vacuum.

Yet, beneath the sorrow, there is an urgent energy. Nek is not ready to surrender: he promises to stay, to fight, to believe, even if it means fooling himself for a moment. The song captures that electric point between hope and resignation, when you still reach out even though your fingers no longer meet. Wrapped in melodic Italian pop-rock, it urges listeners to rethink their own relationships and take that "single step" before the silence grows too loud.
