Verse 1

What a shame that you're not here

Verse 2

So that you'd see what a sea

Verse 2

What water so blue

And its waves

Verse 2

What a shame that you're so far

And you're missing this sunrise

Verse 2

Oh, what a shame!

If you knew how Cancún is

Verse 2

I alone

With so many waves

Oh! That come and go

And I alone, I alone

Like the moon, like the sun, like the sea

The sea

Of course I miss your kisses

And your way of loving

Your look, your words, your caresses

Your smiles, but you're here

Without your eyes, without your mouth

Without your hands, without your things

And the sea in front of me

Cancún and I

What a shame that you're not here

So that you'd see what a sea

What water so blue

And its waves

What a shame that you're so far

And you're missing this sunrise

Oh, what a shame!

If you knew how Cancún is

I alone

With so many waves

Oh! That come and go

And I alone, I alone

I alone, I alone

Like the moon, like the sun, like the sea

The sea

Of course I miss your body

But thanks to love

And to the waves that watch me, that pull me

That hug me, that kiss me

And they make me go

That catch me, guide me

They seduce me, they make me faint

When I come to

Cancún and I

They seduce me, they make me faint

When I come to

Cancún and I

SONG MEANING

Picture this: a breathtaking sunrise over Cancún’s electric-blue water, gentle waves kissing the shore… and Paulina Rubio standing there thinking, “Qué pena que no estés tú.” The song is a playful yet heartfelt postcard in which she raves about the shimmering sea and perfect dawn, all while teasing the absent lover who is missing out. Every mention of the turquoise ocean and rolling waves highlights just how gorgeous the scene is—and how empty it feels without that special person to share it with.

As the verses unfold, Cancún itself becomes a character: the waves flirt, the water embraces, the sun and moon keep her company. Paulina’s loneliness turns into a sensual dialogue with nature, where the ocean temporarily replaces her partner’s touch. The result is a bittersweet mix of longing and self-indulgent enjoyment; she aches for her lover yet discovers a spark of empowerment in the rhythm of the tides. “Cancún y Yo” celebrates Mexico’s coastal beauty while capturing that universal moment when you’re in paradise—but your heart is still miles away.
