Verse 1

I wrote to you what I felt and deleted it

I told you that I didn't love you, and I ruined it

Knowing that

When you were leaving, I just wanted to kiss you

I remember when I left your house

I said no, wanting to say yes

But, I felt your doubt

And the doubt attracted me

That's why we're here

Chorus 1

You tell me, 'What for?'

And I tell you that

If we're nothing, then what are we playing at?

Time's flying

And you, without me, I don't know if you're having a good time

You tell me, 'What for?'

And I tell you that

Why do we lie to ourselves if deep down it shows on you so much

That it's killing you

To say that now without me you're having a better time

Verse 2

Putting on a front, I acted strong, and I caught feelings

You wanting to be my friend, and I kissed you

You know very well

That we can't control our feelings

And I call others to forget you

But in my mind, I have you on repeat

More than just a fling

Baby, you pretend

That's why we're here

Chorus 2

You tell me, 'What for?'

And I tell you that

If we're nothing, then what are we playing at?

Time's flying

And you, without me, I don't know if you're having a good time

You tell me, 'What for?'

And I tell you that

Why do we lie to ourselves if deep down it shows on you so much

That it's killing you

To say that now without me you're having a better time

Verse 3

What is this game called that we're both playing?

With the hypocrisy that we carry

They might believe the act we put on

You found out that I love you

I tell you, 'leave me alone' but I'm burning inside

When I'm drunk, wasted

I call you and go silent

Stay

Where are you going?

Come, where are you going?

Stay

Where are you going?

Chorus 3

You tell me, 'What for?'

And I tell you that

Why do we lie to ourselves if deep down it shows on you so much

That it's killing you

To say that now without me you're having a better time

You tell me, 'What for?'

And I tell you that

And I tell you, 'What for?'

You tell me, 'What for?'

And you, without me, I don't know if you're having a good time

Outro

Babe, it's Rauw Alejandro together with the King, Romeo

And, I don't know what you and I have, but

I want you to know, that it's special

I wrote to you what I felt and deleted it

I told you that I didn't love you, and I ruined it

Knowing that

When you were leaving, I just wanted to kiss you

mudez — muteness / speechlessness

Mudez translates to 'muteness' or 'speechlessness'. It's a beautifully poetic word that you don't often hear in songs, describing the state of being completely unable to speak.

In this track, Rauw Alejandro sings, "Yo te llamo y me quedo en mudez" (I call you and I'm left speechless). He uses this powerful word to capture the feeling of being so overwhelmed by emotion that he can't find the words, perfectly expressing the song's theme of unspoken feelings and romantic frustration.

Ever been in a situation where you and someone else clearly like each other, but you're both pretending you don't? That's exactly what Rauw Alejandro and the king of bachata, Romeo Santos, are singing about in "Khé?". The song is a back-and-forth of mixed signals and frustration. Rauw admits he says the opposite of what he means, like when he tells her, "Te dije que no te amaba, y, lo arruiné" (I told you I didn't love you, and I ruined it), knowing full well he just wanted to kiss her.

They're caught in a game where nobody wants to admit their true feelings. He asks the big question: "Si no somos nada, ¿entonces a qué estamos jugando?" (If we're nothing, then what are we playing at?). He sees right through her act, pointing out that pretending she's better off without him is "te está matando" (killing you). It's all about that confusing space between friendship and something more, where pride gets in the way of what both people really want.
