stavamo insieme
Credo che questo tipo (Bony) dica che lui e Reina stavano insieme e che non e' un segreto ormai. Puoi usare variazioni simili a "stare insieme", ma credo che il concetto sia quello.

English term (edited):
"was" tight
fico / ganzo, or meraviglioso (in a more standard way)
" Tight" is a slang for " great/ fine/ excellent/ awesome". Here it means: we were great together.
"Fico" or "ganzo" = slang for cool/great/amazing/ too nice!
By the way, "was" is grammatically incorrect here, but that's English slang for "were"... very commonly used among teenagers in America.
