Prima Di Ogni Cosa Lyrics in English Fedez
Combacia comes from the verb combaciare, meaning 'to match', 'to fit together', or 'to coincide'. It's a less common verb than 'to match' in English, making it an interesting find in a song.
In "Prima Di Ogni Cosa," Fedez uses it to express how various seemingly disparate parts of his life—his past struggles, his tattoos, his wife's love—all finally make sense and come together perfectly with the arrival of his child. He sings, "Tutto ora combacia" (Everything now fits together), highlighting a moment of profound realization and harmony in his life.
"Prima Di Ogni Cosa" ("Before Anything Else") is Fedez's letter to his newborn child.
He opens by tracing his own rough edges: bruises he's proud of, a childhood spent looking for himself in someone else's songs, a life that kept him away from home more than he liked. He was, in his own words, a cynic who had never really let himself enjoy anything.
Then the child arrives, and everything stops. The chorus keeps circling back to firsts: the first kiss, the first day of school, the first love, the first mistake. He's not just describing his own past anymore. He's promising to be present for all of his child's firsts, the way he wishes someone had been for his.
It's a simple, unguarded song about how becoming a parent can soften a hardened person, and about putting someone else, finally, before everything.
