The group achieved popular recognition in the mid-1990s, with the release of their first album, Frecuencia Cafre. The term «cafre» comes from the Arabic adjective "kafir", which in the first instance means "unfaithful" and which later changed its meaning towards "brutal to the highest degree"; meaning of the term with which the band chooses to identify itself.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Los Cafres's song "No Puedo Esperar" (I Can't Wait) are about losing faith and hope in someone, after putting too much trust in them. The verses describe feeling betrayed and abandoned, and no longer being able to wait for the person to return. The chorus repeats the phrase "no se que mas puedo encontrar" (I don't know what else I can find), which expresses the feeling of being lost and uncertain about what to do next.

The opening line of the song, "demasiado rapido confiaba" (I trusted too quickly), sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The singer admits to being naive and foolish, and the repeated phrase "ya no me queda confianza" (I have no more trust) reinforces the idea that their faith has been shattered.

The bridge of the song introduces a glimmer of hope, as the singer waits for the person they have lost to return. However, this hope is short-lived, as the chorus returns with its message of despair.

Overall, "No Puedo Esperar" is a song about the pain of betrayal, and the difficulty of moving on from a broken relationship. The lyrics evoke a sense of helplessness and confusion, as the singer struggles to come to terms with their loss.
