Te Lo Agradezco, Pero No Lyrics in English Alejandro Sanz , Shakira

Home / Lyrics Translation / Alejandro Sanz / Te Lo Agradezco, Pero No

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Te Lo Agradezco, Pero No by Alejandro Sanz from Spanish to English.

Come closer, that maybe

You don't realize that my love

Isn't forever, because there are nights

That go dark when you sleep

Tell it to your heart

There'll be no more source of pain

Don't say that I don't think of you

I don't do anything except think

Come a little closer

Don't be afraid of the truth

That oh, when the morning arrives and the sun comes up

You will come back

By my side and I win

And now go, go, go, go

Go and have fun

For the two of us

No, darling

I thank you but no

I thank you, look, girl, but no

I already managed to set you aside

I don't do anything except forget you

I thank you, but no

I thank you, look, girl, but no

I thank you, darling, but no, you know well that

Come a little closer

Don't you see that time is slipping away from us

Let loose what you feel

If you don't, tough luck

Because in the end, if you don't see it

You might not hear me, but I'll say it

That oh, when the sun comes up and the morning arrives

I'll come back to your side, to your side with more desire and now

Go, go, go, go

Go and have fun

For the two of us

I thank you, but no

I thank you, look, boy, but no

I already managed to set you aside

I don't do anything except forget you

I thank you, but no

I thank you, look, girl, but no

I already managed to set you aside

I don't do anything except forget you

I'm aware

Of the damage I did to you

But at the same time I don't feel

Responsible for what you might have

Thought it was

Courage, it was nothing but fear

Fear

I thank you, but no

I thank you, look, girl, but no

I already managed to set you aside

I don't do anything except forget you

I thank you, but no

I thank you, look, girl, but no

I already managed to set you aside

I don't do anything except forget you

I don't do anything except forget you, darling

Early in the morning and later in the afternoons, at night

When I'm at the party

I can't do anything but forget you, darling

I thank you but no

I thank you, look, boy, but no

I already managed to set you aside

I don't do anything except forget you

I thank you, darling, but

I've already left you aside

Now I don't need any more from you

I'm fine now, I'm fine like this, tell it, darling

No, it does nothing for me that you come like this, crying

Your pretty eyes, your beautiful body

Look, boy, but no

Beside me always, darling

That when the sun comes out, I'll be there

Now go, go, go to the party

SONG MEANING

Te Lo Agradezco, Pero No pairs the soulful voice of Spanish icon Alejandro Sanz with the fiery energy of Shakira to stage a dramatic tug-of-war between two ex-lovers. Throughout the song, they invite each other to “come closer,” only to push away again, revealing a roller-coaster of doubt, desire, and pride. Both singers admit they still think about one another at sunrise, noon, and night, yet each repeats the catchy mantra: “Gracias… pero no.” That phrase is the musical equivalent of a polite door slam; it shows gratitude for the memories while firmly saying the relationship is over.

Listen for the back-and-forth vocals that mimic an intimate conversation. Sanz’s lines carry a weary tenderness, while Shakira fires back with fearless determination. Together they explore the bittersweet moment when you realize love can be intense and beautiful, but not necessarily healthy. The message? Sometimes the bravest act of love is walking away, dancing into the night, and learning to forget—even if part of your heart still lingers at the door.
