Nao Me Compares Lyrics in English Alejandro Sanz , Ivete Sangalo

Home / Lyrics Translation / Alejandro Sanz / Nao Me Compares

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Nao Me Compares by Alejandro Sanz from Spanish to English.

Now that our memories moan paler

than the snow on the TV

Now that it rains in the room and go out

the candles of the boat that lit me

Now that time sings crying its verses

and the world finally woke up

Now lost in a ferocious silence

that wants to untie those knots

Now we see clearly and we can see each other

behind the rancor

Now I tell you where I come from

and the paths that passion took

Now destiny is deserted

and we meet in this hurricane

Now I tell you where I come from

and what my heart is made of

I come from the air

that dried your skin, my love

I am the street

where you ran into him

Don't compare me

I came down to earth on a paintbrush for you

Unforgivable

that I don't look like him

not like him, or anybody

Now that the cats leap looking for scraps

you meow the sad song

Now that you've run out of words

you compare, compare, with so much passion

Now we can look at each other

without fear of the reflection in the rearview mirror

Now I show you where I come from

and the wounds that love left me

Now I don't want fuss

just a calm chat between us

If you want I'll tell you why I love you

and if you want I'll tell you why not

You don't know

where I've walked after everything, babe

I am the key

to the door where you found someone

don't look in her for the gaze I gave you

Unforgivable

that I'm not the same as her

So don't say

that someone touches you like I touched you

Let it end

and may you leave without knowing

and forever

nobody touches you like I touched you

Let it end

I am your soul, you are my air

Don't compare me

Let them separate us, if they can

Let them separate us, let them try

Let them separate us, let them try, from forgetting you

I am your soul and you my fate

Let them separate us, if they can, if they can

Let them un-nail us, let them try

Let them separate us, let them try

I am your soul and you my fate

Let them separate us, if they can

Let them un-nail us, let them try

Let them separate us, let them try

Soul, I am your soul and you my fate

I am your soul and you my fate

Let them separate us, if they can

Let them un-nail us, let them try

Let them separate us, let them try

Soul, I am your soul and you my fate

SONG MEANING

In this passionate pop duet, Alejandro Sanz and Ivete Sangalo turn heartbreak into a lyrical hurricane, switching between Spanish and Portuguese to prove that every love story is one-of-a-kind. The singers stand in the eye of a storm of fading memories, rainy rooms, and echoing silence, yet refuse to be measured against past partners. With vivid images like “neve no televisor” (snow on the TV) and “yo soy la calle donde te lo encontraste a él” (I am the street where you met him), they argue that true connection lives far beyond surface comparisons. Instead of dramatic scenes, they crave a calm conversation where scars are shown openly and the heart’s origins are explained. Their repeated plea “No me compares / Não me compares” is both a self-defense and a declaration that the bond they share is irreplaceable: “Yo soy tu alma y tú mi suerte” – I am your soul and you are my fate. The result is an empowering reminder that genuine love is unique, indivisible, and impossible for outsiders to pull apart, no matter how loudly the world may try.
