I'm walking over a sea of dry leaves
Angels fly over Berlin
They go intoning a hallelujah next to me
While the rain falls inside me
I miss your voice
I'm in no man's land, I even lack air
With my back to the sun
Another day passes without you
It's useless
To get farther
Not all the fame nor all the money
It's useless
If you're not with me
And loneliness stabs into my bones
It's useless
Nothing, nothing, nothing
No, no, no, no
Nobody guesses what it is that fate has in store
Our path is still half made
I throw my Chinatown Chanel purse
Onto the wet ground and I start to run
I miss your voice
I need to touch you, see you, look at you
With my back to the sun
Another day ends without you
It's useless
To get even farther
Not all the fame nor all the money
It's useless
If you're not with me
And loneliness stabs into my bones
It's useless
Nothing, nothing, nothing
No, no, no, no
It's useless
To get even farther
Not all the fame nor all the money
It's useless
If you're not with me
And loneliness stabs into my bones
It's useless
Nothing, nothing, nothing
No, no, no, no

SONG MEANING

“Nada” is Shakira’s dramatic reminder that trophies, headlines and designer bags lose their sparkle when the person you love is missing. The Colombian superstar paints cinematic scenes — angels gliding over Berlin, a Chanel purse tossed onto rain-soaked pavement — to show how everything feels hollow without her partner’s voice nearby. No matter how far she travels or how high she climbs the charts, she keeps bumping into the same truth: fame and fortune are useless if they cannot be shared.

Every chorus drives the point home with the emphatic line “No sirve de nada” (It’s worth nothing). Loneliness digs “into her bones,” turning victory into vacancy and glamour into grey skies. In just a few verses Shakira flips the spotlight onto what really counts: human connection. Beneath the soaring melody you will find a heartfelt lesson in priorities, wrapped in vivid imagery and that unmistakable Shakira passion.
