"Benvenuto frate" means "Welcome, brother" in Italian. The protagonist of the song is telling a story from their past, from a few years ago. As a child, they were a bit of a wild and crazy person. They recall a memory of being with their father and seeing a Ferrari. They asked their father to buy it for them, but he responded by saying they need to have the money (cash) to afford it. Upon returning home, the protagonist called their friend Dani and explained the situation. They decided to steal the money needed to buy the Ferrari. However, their plan is unsuccessful, and they get caught, bringing their little adventure to an end. The chorus of the song emphasizes the theme of the "beautiful life" they were living, getting into trouble and attracting problems like a magnet (calamita). The protagonist reflects on their current situation, feeling like their face is numb and not understanding why. They always find themselves in trouble and rarely go home. People tell them they should change, but they refuse to do so because they consider themselves a malandrino (a rogue or delinquent). They mention their transformation from having no money to now having plenty of euros. The story takes a turn towards experiences with women, cars, and drugs. They sought love but found drugs instead. The song highlights their reckless lifestyle, getting into fights in clubs, taking drugs, and running from police. They express a sense of fear but also the exhilarating feeling of flying without wearing a seatbelt. Overall, "Malandrino" tells a story of a person who has lived a wild and troubled life, indulging in various vices and constantly getting into trouble, but refusing to change their ways.
