Dime Que No Lyrics in English Ricardo Arjona

Home / Lyrics translation / Ricardo Arjona / Dime Que No

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dime Que No by Ricardo Arjona from Spanish to English.

If you tell me that yes, think it over twice

It may suit you to tell me no

If you tell me no, you might be wrong

I will take on the task of making you tell me yes

If you tell me yes

I'll stop dreaming, and I'll turn into an idiot

Better tell me no and give me that yes drop by drop

Tell me no thinking of a yes

And leave the rest to me

Because if it gets easy for me

Love turns fragile and one stops dreaming

Tell me no

And leave the door open

Tell me no

You'll have me thinking about you all day

Planning the strategy for a yes

Tell me no

And throw me a camouflaged yes

Stick me with a doubt

And I will stay by your side

If you tell me yes, the uncertain will slip away

And that tickle in the belly when you're about to show up

If you tell me no, I'll keep conquering

Discovering things in you that even you don't know

Tell me no

And you'll have me thinking about you all day

Planning the strategy for a yes

Tell me no

And throw me a camouflaged yes

Stick me with a doubt

And I will stay by your side

Easy things have always lasted so briefly for me

And I don't deny it, I had fun

But loneliness has driven me crazy

Because love has never passed by here

Tell me no

And you'll have me thinking about you all day

Planning the strategy for a yes

Tell me no

And throw me a camouflaged yes

Stick me with a doubt

And I will stay by your side

Tell me no

And you'll have me thinking about you all day

Planning the strategy for a yes

Tell me no

And throw me a camouflaged yes

Stick me with a doubt

And I will stay by your side

Tell me no

cuentagotas — dropper

Cuentagotas literally translates to "dropper" or "eyedropper." It's an interesting and somewhat unusual word to find in a pop song, making it memorable.

In "Dime Que No," Ricardo Arjona uses it metaphorically in the line, "Mejor dime que no y dame ese sí como un cuentagotas" (Better tell me no and give me that yes like a dropper). He's asking for affection or a

Ricardo Arjona, the celebrated singer–songwriter from Guatemala, flips the usual love song on its head in "Dime Que No". Instead of begging for an immediate yes, he pleads for a no that keeps the chase alive. For Arjona, the thrill lies in the strategic game of courtship: every refusal is an invitation to imagine, plan, and dream. A simple yes would end the suspense, but a teasing no lets butterflies flutter, fantasies grow, and creativity run wild.

At its core, the song argues that love thrives on mystery and effort. Easy victories feel empty, while challenges forge deeper connections. By asking his beloved to “clávame una duda” (plant a doubt), Arjona celebrates uncertainty as the spark that keeps passion burning. The message is playful yet poignant: sometimes a gentle obstacle is the very thing that turns romance into an unforgettable adventure.
