Nek first gained international success in 1997, when he took part in the Sanremo Music Festival in the Big Artists section, and although he didn't win, the song "Laura non c'è" (in Spanish: "Laura no está") went on to become his international breakthrough as it became a major hit in Europe and Latin America that year, as well the release of his fourth and million-selling album Lei, gli amici e tutto il resto, which was his first album to also be recorded in a Spanish language. After eighteen years he performed at the Sanremo's 2015 edition with the song "Fatti avanti amore" where he reached second place.
During his career he has released thirteen studio albums and forty-eight singles, which include hits "Sei solo tu", "Almeno stavolta", "Lascia che io sia", "Instabile", "La voglia che non-vorrei", and it has been reported that he has sold over 10 million records.

Vértigo
Nek Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Escapan los momentos día a día.
Vente a caminar: es tarde para hablar,
Pero nos puede ayudar.
Tu la voz que a mí me llama y nadie oye,
La luz de este farole en nuestra calle:
Que dulce pero es muy tenue a la vez:
Dime como estas y cada día a donde vas;
Hablarte es fácil hoy, que la luna no nos mira.
Y yo te escucharé y si te caes te ayudaré:
La fuerza encontrarás dentro de esta noche oscura.
Ves yo pienso que tú a veces seas inerme
Y todo el mundo entero te sorprende
Como esta nieve que esta cayendo leve
Tú conmigo quédate.
Y dime como estas y cada día donde vas;
Hablarte es fácil hoy, que la luna no nos mira.
Y yo te escucharé y si te caes te ayudaré:
La fuerza encontrarás dentro de esta noche oscura.
Atrévete y verás que por tu cielo volarás,
Abre tus alas y con un salto vuela
Y dime como estas y cada día donde vas;
Hablarte es fácil hoy, que la luna no nos mira.
Y yo te miraré y si querrás te seguiré
Si tendrás vértigo me quedare contigo,
Allí estaré contigo
In "Vertigo," Nek sings about the fleeting moments in life and the importance of taking advantage of them before they slip away. The opening lines of the song suggest a sense of urgency by acknowledging that everything seems brief in this life and that moments escape day by day. The chorus encourages the listener to come and walk with him; it's late to talk, but it can help. Nek invites the listener to confide in him, saying that he will listen and help if they fall.
As the song progresses, Nek mentions a few of his observations, such as the fact that the listener seems helpless at times and that the world surprises them. These observations are followed by a suggestion that the listener should stay with him, just as snow falls gently. The second chorus encourages the listener to be daring and to trust him, for he will follow them, even if they become dizzy.
The theme of "Vertigo" is about seeking support and shelter in a moment of hesitation or fear. Nek assures the listener that he is there for them and will help them when they need it. The song is an uplifting message that encourages the listener to be brave, follow their dreams, and take risks.

Como siempre el mastro nek con la filosofia de la vida.... You see everything appears brief in this life
Moments escape day by day
Come and walk: it's late to talk
But it can help us
Your voice calls to me and no one hears
The light from this headlight in our street
How sweet but it's very faint at the same time
If you want to sit yourself down
Tell me how you are and where you go everyday
Talking to you is easy today, the moon's not watching us
And I'll listen to you and if you fall I'll help you
The strength you'll find within this dark night
Time (if this is the right word) I think that you are sometimes inerme (don't know this word)
And everyone surprises you
Like this snow that's falling lightly
You with me, stay.
And tell me how you are and where you go everyday
Talking to you is easy today, the moon's not watching us
And I'll listen to you and if you fall I'll help you
The strength you'll find within this dark night
Dare yourself and you'll see that you'll fly to your sky
Open your wings and fly with a jump
And tell me how you are and where you go everyday
Talking to you is easy today, the moon's not watching us
And I'll watch you and if you want I'll follow you
If you'll gent vertigo I'll stay with you
I'll be there with you
I'll be there with you
