No Tengo Dinero
AB Quintanilla III & Kumbia Kings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Voy por la calle de la mano platicando con mi amor
Y voy recordando cosas serias que me pueden suceder
Pues ya me pregunta que hasta cuando nos iremos a casar
Y yo le contesto que soy pobre que me tiene que esperar

No tengo dinero ni nada que dar
Lo Ăºnico que tengo es amor para amar
Si asĂ­ tĂº me quieres te puedo querer
Pero si no puedes ni modo que hacer

No tengo dinero ni nada que dar
Lo Ăºnico que tengo es amor para amar
Si asĂ­ tĂº me quieres te puedo querer
Pero si no puedes ni modo que hacer

Yo sĂ© que a mi lado tĂº te sientes pero mucho muy feliz
Y sé que al decirte que soy pobre no vuelves a sonreír
Que va, yo quisiera tener todo y ponerlo a tus pies
Pero yo nacĂ­ pobre y es por eso que no me puedes querer

No tengo dinero ni nada que dar
Lo Ăºnico que tengo es amor para amar
Si asĂ­ tĂº me quieres te puedo querer
Pero si no puedes ni modo que hacer

No tengo dinero ni nada que dar
Lo Ăºnico que tengo es amor para amar
Si asĂ­ tĂº me quieres te puedo querer
Pero si no puedes ni modo que hacer

No tengo dinero ni nada que dar
Lo Ăºnico que tengo es amor para amar
Si asĂ­ tĂº me quieres te puedo querer
Pero si no puedes ni modo que hacer





No tengo dinero ni nada que dar

Overall Meaning

"Voy por la calle de la mano platicando con mi amor" translates to "I walk down the street holding hands and chatting with my love." The singer is reminiscing about a special moment with his significant other, but as he continues to think, he becomes more worried about their future together. He knows that his partner will eventually ask him about marriage, but he is hesitant to commit because of his financial situation. He tells her that he cannot provide her with anything materialistic, but he has an abundance of love to offer.


In the chorus, the singer reiterates that he does not have money to give, but he can love and care for his significant other deeply. He explains that he wants to make her happy and wants to give her everything, but he cannot do so due to his socioeconomic status.


The song speaks to an unfortunate reality where love is not enough to survive, particularly in a society that places a high value on material possessions. The singer faces the harsh truth that his partner may not be able to stay with him because he cannot provide for her.
