No Es Lo Mismo Lyrics in English Alejandro Sanz

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song No Es Lo Mismo by Alejandro Sanz from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
You're so many people, so tell me
Who am I talking to now?
Verse 1
Don't you see that you aren't the same?
You're the one who says "stay with me"
I promise to give you torment
Give you bad times
Verse 1
I promise you
If you listen to me, babe
Give you art!
Because it's not the same
As "stay and we'll see"
Stay and we'll see
No, it's not the same to be as to be around
It's not the same to be around as to stay
No way!
Staying isn't the same as stopping either
It's not the same
Maybe we neither are, nor are we here, nor plan to stay
But it's different to settle or to fight
It's not the same
It's different
It's not the same art as to bore
It's not the same to be fair
As how convenient for you!
You'll see
You aren't the same as another
Get it!
It's not the same
So you know that there are people that try to confuse us
But we have a heart
That isn't the same
We feel it
It's different
Okay
That maybe I deserve it
Fine
But I won't sell you my voice
Door
And what they think about us
Read my lips
I'm not for sale
Okay
Maybe we deserve it
Fine
But we don't sell the voice
Door
And what they think about us
Read my lips
I don't give a sh*t
Door and air
I'm suffocating
It's not about the side that you want to be on
That being on one side
Or stepping aside
You'll see I don't know how to tell you
It's not the same!
Living is the most dangerous thing that life has
That they say on television
That there's a heart on the loose
That isn't the same
That it's dangerous
That it's different
It's not the same "basta" or "bastar"
Nor is it the same to say, to opine, to impose, or to command
Black lists
White hands, you'll see
It's not the same
The one who has more drive doesn't win
I don't know if I explain myself
That today nobody wants to be equal
What do you care
It's not like an 'ism'
It's instinct
Okay
That maybe I deserve it
Fine
But I won't sell you my voice
Door
And what they think about us
Read my lips
I'm not for sale
Okay
Maybe we deserve it
Fine
But we don't sell the voice
Door
And what they think about us
Read my lips
I don't give a sh*t
I have
Ointment for all the pains
Remedies for every kind of mistakes
Also recipes for disillusion
I have
Ointment for all the pains
Remedies for every kind of mistakes
Also recipes for disillusion
Okay
Maybe we deserve it
Fine
But we don't sell the voice
Door
And what they think about us
Read my lips
I'm not for sale
Okay
Maybe we deserve it
Fine
But we don't sell the voice
Door
And what they think about us
Read my lips
I don't give a sh*t
I have
Ointment for all the pains
Remedies for every kind of mistakes
Also recipes for disillusion
I have
Ointment for all the pains
Remedies for every kind of mistakes
Also recipes for disillusion
Okay
Maybe we deserve it
Fine
But we don't sell the voice
Door
And what they think about us
Read my lips
I'm not for sale
Okay
Maybe we deserve it
Fine
But we don't sell the voice
Door
And what they think about us
Read my lips
I don't give a sh*t
I have
Ointment for all the pains
Remedies for every kind of mistakes
Also recipes for disillusion
I have
Ointment for all the pains
Remedies for every kind of mistakes
Also recipes for disillusion
Okay
Maybe we deserve it
Fine
But we don't sell the voice
Door
And what they think about us
Read my lips
I'm not for sale
Okay
Maybe we deserve it
Fine
But we don't sell the voice
Door
And what they think about us
Read my lips
I don't give a sh*t

SONG MEANING

“No Es Lo Mismo” (“It’s Not the Same”) is Alejandro Sanz’s playful yet punchy reminder that appearances can fool us. Over a lively Latin-pop groove, the Spanish singer fires off a stream of witty comparisons to prove his point: being is not the same as just being around, art is not the same as annoyance, and staying is not the same as giving up. In the middle of this tongue-twisting wordplay he plants his flag of authenticity: his heart and his voice are not for sale, no matter what critics, lovers, or the music industry might say.

The result feels like a musical pep-talk. Sanz calls out anyone who tries to blur the lines between truth and convenience, urging us to fight rather than settle, and to guard our individuality. Between promises of “pomada para todos los dolores” (ointment for every pain) and catchy guitar riffs, he leaves listeners energized and self-assured. By the final chorus, one message rings clear: staying true to yourself is never the same as simply fitting in.
