Fundo comes from the verb fundir, which literally means 'to melt' or 'to cast metal'. However, in modern slang, it takes on a whole new meaning.
In the song, Peso Pluma sings, "Te fundo el cel", which translates to 'I'll blow up your cell phone' with calls. This is a very current and common expression in Spanish to describe calling someone repeatedly, making it a perfect example of how language evolves with technology.
One night was all it took. She is done, she is tired, she is worn out, and she is gone. He tells himself there will be no reproaches, then immediately admits he cannot promise that: tonight he will probably drink, get properly wrecked, and blow up her phone anyway.
The chorus is where the pretending stops. It feels strange to arrive and not find her lips there, he says he does not always smile anymore, the cloth is soaked with tears, and he loves her even though she hurts him. Then comes the last plea, asking her to take his hand and leave this strange world with him, which reads as either a real request or a fantasy depending on how you hear it. The Spanish is blunt and conversational, and worth knowing before you sing along: a couple of the lines here are genuinely strong language.
