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 typed out an honest confession only to smash the delete button? That is where Puerto Rican star Rauw Alejandro starts in "Khé?" with the line "Te escribí lo que sentía y lo borré" ("I wrote what I felt and deleted it"). Joined by Romeo Santos, the track tackles the messy aftermath of pretending you do not care when you clearly do. Both singers act tough and try to play it cool ("Yo fronteando me hice el fuerte" / "Flexing, I acted strong"), but the mask quickly slips. They call other people to distract themselves, yet the ex stays stuck on loop: "pero en mi mente yo te tengo en repeat" ("but in my mind I have you on repeat").

Romeo brings in some sharp Dominican street slang to show how absurd their little mind games are. He admits he tells her "dame banda" (a slang phrase meaning "leave me alone" or "give me space"), even though he is secretly burning up inside. Then, after drinking too much alcohol ("Cuando estoy en romo, feo" / "When I'm ugly-drunk on rum"), he calls her up and just freezes into complete silence ("me quedo en mudez"). The central hook asks the ultimate question for situationships stuck in denial: "Si no somos nada, ¿entonces a qué estamos jugando?" ("If we are nothing, then what game are we playing?"). It is an honest look at pride getting completely in the way of love.
