No Tengo Nada Lyrics in English Alejandro Sanz

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song No Tengo Nada by Alejandro Sanz from Spanish to English.
I have no fear
What I have, babe, is a secret plan
That's very unlikely that it won't work out for us
I've got some flares
I want to see you in the morning whispering
At my back
I don't have the kiss
that makes you surrender and hug me
and that all my fears go away
I don't have the art
What I have is something
that on my skin I've tattooed soul
And I have nothing
If you turn out my pockets
Babe, I have nothing
But I look into your little eyes
I have nothing
But I have your gaze
But I have you
And I have nothing
Only you
I want to hug you
I want to sleep with you and wake up embracing
Your back
So I don't forget
The only thing I want is that you call my name
and that all my fears go away
I have nothing
What I have is something that on my skin I've tattooed soul
I have nothing
If you turn out my pockets
Babe, I have nothing
But I look into your little eyes
I have nothing
But I have your gaze
But I have you
I have nothing
Only you
And I have nothing
If you turn out my pockets
Babe, I have nothing
But I look into your little eyes
I have nothing
But I have your gaze
But I have, I have you
And I have nothing
Only you

SONG MEANING

Alejandro Sanz paints a charming picture of rich poverty in “No Tengo Nada.” The Spanish singer admits he owns no glittering treasures, yet he carries a “secret plan,” some flares for celebration, and a heart tattooed with soul. What he truly values is waking up with his lover’s whisper on his back, staring into her eyes, and feeling every fear melt away. The repetition of “yo no tengo nada” (I have nothing) isn’t defeatist; it’s a playful confession that material things pale beside the spark he shares with her.

By listing everything he lacks and then trumping it with what he does have—her gaze, her name on his lips, the warmth of a morning embrace—Sanz reminds us that love can turn empty pockets into fireworks. The song is a tender, upbeat anthem to emotional wealth, perfect for learners who want to feel how Spanish turns simplicity into poetry.
