Fatti Così (Intro) Lyrics in English Fred De Palma
Completino is the diminutive of completo, meaning 'outfit' or 'suit'. The diminutive suffix '-ino' adds a sense of smallness, cuteness, or sometimes intimacy.
In this song, Fred De Palma uses completino to refer to a woman's small, perhaps revealing, outfit. The word choice adds a playful and suggestive tone, hinting at the intimate context of the lyrics where he wants to 'tear off that little outfit'.
This is the opening track of Fred De Palma's album Uebe, and it sets the tone for everything after it. The title phrase, siamo fatti così, means "that's just how we're made", and it works as both an explanation and a refusal to apologise.
The first verse is a night out in Milan seen from the inside. He asks her to stay, she laughs and crosses herself, and when they go out they go all in. He talks about turning off every light in the city and leaving just one on for the two of them. Nothing here is presented as a choice they made carefully. It happened because of who they are.
The chorus is small and domestic by comparison. Turn off the TV, let me look at you, keep going, it's fine like this. The line io e te siamo il male ed il bene puts them on both sides at once, the bad and the good in the same couple, and then shrugs it off: deep down, this works.
The second verse leans into the physical side of the relationship and its pull. She doesn't listen to a word he says, she likes it rough, and he compares himself to a drug. There is chemistry between them with nothing added to it. Even when she sees him with other people, she can't stop coming back, and the song offers the same answer it started with.
For Italian learners this is a useful track because the phrasing is everyday spoken Italian: dai as a nudge, continua così, in fondo, and the reflexive turn in ci guardiamo. The word così carries a lot of the song on its own, meaning "like this", "this way", and "so" depending on where it lands.
