I'm walking down the street hand in hand, chatting with my love
And I'm remembering serious things that can happen to me
So now, she asks me that how long we'll wait to get married
And I answer her that I'm poor
That she has to wait for me
I have no money or anything to give
The only thing I have is love to love
If you love me like that, I can love you
But if you can't, there's nothing we can do
I have no money or anything to give
The only thing I have is love to love
If you love me like that, I can love you
But if you can't, there's nothing we can do
I know that by my side you feel really, really happy
And I know that when I tell you that I'm poor you don't smile again
No way, I'd like to have everything and lay it at your feet
But I was born poor and that's why you can't love me
I have no money or anything to give
The only thing I have is love to love
If you love me like that, I can love you
But if you can't, there's nothing we can do
I have no money or anything to give
The only thing I have is love to love
If you love me like that, I can love you
But if you can't, there's nothing we can do
I have no money or anything to give
The only thing I have is love to love
If you love me like that, I can love you
But if you can't, there's nothing we can do

SONG MEANING

“No Tengo Dinero” is a joyful confession wrapped in a catchy Mexican pop melody. Juan Gabriel strolls down the street hand in hand with his sweetheart, yet his mind is on serious matters: marriage, money and expectations. When his partner wonders when they will tie the knot, he answers with disarming honesty. He owns no riches, no fancy gifts and no grand future to promise, only an overflowing heart full of love. The repeated chorus — “No tengo dinero ni nada que dar; lo único que tengo es amor para amar” — turns what could be a sad admission into a proud declaration that true wealth lives in affection, not in a bank account.

Despite admitting poverty, the singer never sounds defeated. The upbeat rhythm and sing-along hook make his humble words feel uplifting rather than apologetic. Juan Gabriel celebrates sincerity, reminding us that genuine emotions outshine material possessions. It is an anthem for anyone whose pockets are empty but whose heart is full, proving that love can still dance even when the wallet cannot.
