Nada De Nada Lyrics in English Marc Anthony

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Nada De Nada by Marc Anthony from Spanish to English.
I've got a boat the size of a cruise ship
And I've been with girlfriends with more a*s than brain
A mansion as big as the Choliseo
But empty like a beach in the winter
If other songs have already said it, I repeat it
That I'm so poor, I only have my money
I can't buy sincere love in a store
There's nobody that'll sell it to me and it's the only thing I want
Without that, no way; without that, forget it
I have nothing, nothing at all
I can't trade your kisses for a whole bank
Without them, I swear even a sheikh is an a*shole
I tell you, no way; I tell you, forget it
I have nothing, nothing at all
I have more than enough of everything
If you're missing
I have a moonstone ring
You still don't want to accept it from me
I want to take you to the altar and I can't
My true love doesn't convince you
More advisors, more lawyers
Than friends to go drinking with
I'm lonelier than the moon itself
Oh, you have the cure
And I can't buy sincere love in a store
There's nobody that'll sell it to me and it's the only thing I want
Without that, no way; without that, forget it
I have nothing, nothing at all
I can't trade your kisses for a whole bank
Without them, I swear even a sheikh is an a*shole
I tell you, no way; I tell you, forget it
I have nothing, nothing at all
I have more than enough of everything
If you're missing

SONG MEANING

Marc Anthony’s “Nada De Nada” is a playful confession wrapped in salsa rhythms. The singer brags about his colossal yacht, a mansion as huge as Puerto Rico’s famous “Choliseo”, and girlfriends with “more backside than brains”. Yet every boast is followed by a punchline that shows how hollow it all feels. He keeps repeating that he is “so poor that all I have is money”, flipping the usual idea of wealth on its head.

What does he really crave? Not another yacht, not another lawyer, not another glittering ring. He wants the one thing no store can sell:

  • true, loyal, down-to-earth love
  • the taste of the beloved’s kisses
  • the warmth of real friendship instead of paid advisors

In the end he admits that without her affection he owns “nothing at all”. The track reminds us, with humor and a dance-floor beat, that material riches are just shiny clutter when the heart is empty.
