Mommy, I'm missing something
On the tours, in the hotel, on the plane
Mommy, I'm missing something
Crying in silence, smoking a cigarette
Mommy, I'm missing something
When you're not here, I'm not myself
I lack the air when I think of those moments
We weren't different, it was just another time
When I travel for commitments and events
Memories come up on social media
Of when we talked on the phone
We walked around your neighborhood
The moon could be seen through the gaps in the buildings
When you said you still preferred to be alone
And when I swore I would leave my vices, alcohol and drugs
You know my weak points
The fragile moments, yeah
All the times I ended up
Crying, praying to my angels
You got me used to you, caressing my hair
"You fell in love with a G," playing in the background
Those nights weren't beautiful, but they were magical
A song dedicated to you can only be tragic
Fame doesn't fill even half
Of the times we watch Netflix and make love at dawn
The moon has our back, the nights are cold
If we're not together, everything hurts twice as much
I want you to be the one who names my child
I don't know how to explain that if you're not here, I feel like something is missing
On the tours, in the hotel, on the plane
Mommy, I'm missing something
Crying in silence, smoking a cigarette
Mommy, I'm missing something
When you're not here, I'm not myself
Concerts that are followed by an afterparty
I slept two hours that night
But I'll have to get used to it
I don't have time to call my mom or my friends
My legs feel heavy when I can't reach you
That's why you've had me feeling bad for a while, yeah
The bed feels big to me, I can't sleep, it's not normal, yeah
But you make me feel good, mommy, everything is fine when you're close
But the dark-skinned girl is so blind, and I wrote you this letter, baby
Because I'm missing something
On the tours, in the hotel, on the plane
Mommy, I'm missing something
Crying in silence, smoking a cigarette
Mom
When you're not there, it's not me
When you're not there, it's not me
When you're not there, it's not me
Crying in silence, smoking a cigar
Mommy, I'm missing something
Yeah-yeah
When you're not there, it's not me
When you're not there, it's not me

cafunea tender caress (often in the hair)

Cafune is a beautiful and somewhat rare word of Brazilian Portuguese origin, meaning a tender caress, often running fingers through someone's hair. It's a gesture of deep affection and comfort.

In the song, Quevedo sings, "Tú me acostumbraste a ti, haciéndome cafune" (You got me used to you, giving me cafune). This word stands out because it's not a common Spanish term, adding a unique and intimate touch to the lyrics, highlighting the tender moments that made the relationship so special and now missed.

In "ME FALTA ALGO," which means "I'm Missing Something," Quevedo paints a picture of a life that looks glamorous on the outside but feels empty on the inside. He's on tour, flying in planes and staying in hotels, but he's haunted by a feeling of loneliness. The song is a heartfelt confession that his success and fame mean very little without the person he loves. He reveals his vulnerability, describing moments of "crying in silence" and feeling like he's not himself when she's not around.

Quevedo contrasts his busy, demanding career with sweet, intimate memories of their time together. He recalls simple moments like walking through her neighborhood and watching Netflix until dawn, which he says fill him more than fame ever could. He even dreams of a future where she names their child. The song is a powerful message about love and priorities, showing that for Quevedo, true happiness isn't found in the spotlight, but in the quiet, magical moments shared with someone special.
