No Tiene La Culpa Lyrics in English Romeo Santos

Home / Lyrics Translation / Romeo Santos / No Tiene La Culpa

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song No Tiene La Culpa by Romeo Santos from Spanish to English.

Another dawn that Manuel isn't going to sleep

The dawn is already visible, one more day without noticing

That there are cruel people

That celebrate suffering

Of another human being

If that morbid thrill makes you laugh

They say that he's effeminate

Daily nicknames

He contemplates suicide

For not being accepted

He's not to blame for being flamboyant

He's become the neighborhood joke

And also the school's

Full of complexes

Loathing his body

Wanting to be female

But quite the opposite

He's the only son of Sofía and Don Miguel

She's very sensitive

A woman of simplicity

She always protects him and accepts him as he is

Whereas Don Miguel

Is very macho and anti-gay

He says that no f*ggot

Enters the kingdom of Heaven

Written in the Bible

Straight to Hell

He blames Sofía for raising him spoiled

He dreamed of a little boy

That would be a ballplayer

It turns out that the boy

Wants to be a hairdresser

A bit humiliating

For a strict father

When conscience is very ignorant

It's hard to understand that we're all the same

A little angel arrives in a womb

With no vote to choose his sexual preference

Oh love him, cherish him

Accept him, spoil him

After all, he's a gift from God

Oh oh defend him

Long for him, protect him

Adore him, who are we to judge another

100% heterosexual

I was born that way

And you?

I won't judge

They say that he's effeminate

Daily nicknames

He contemplates suicide

For not being accepted

He's not to blame for being flamboyant

He's become the neighborhood joke

And also the school's

Full of complexes

Loathing his body

Wanting to be female

But quite the opposite

When conscience is very ignorant

It's hard to understand that we're all the same

A little angel arrives in a womb

With no vote to choose his sexual preference

Oh love him, cherish him

Accept him, spoil him

After all, he's a gift from God

Oh oh defend him

Long for him, protect him

Adore him, who are we to judge another

Don't be a fool

This isn't a gay record

This is a reality song

Ignorance ain't taking us nowhere

Copy?

Approximately over 30% of gays

Take their lives yearly

Maybe 1% of them

Are my fans

Anyway, it matters to me

Keep your head up

Stop the hate

SONG MEANING

Romeo Santos turns his smooth bachata into a mini-movie about Manuel, a sensitive teen who is mocked every day for being "amanerado" (effeminate). The lyrics paint two very different parents: a loving mom who shields her son and a macho dad who quotes the Bible while crushing his child’s spirit. Surrounded by classmates who invent cruel nicknames, Manuel even toys with suicide, proving how ignorance can be deadly.

Instead of a typical love song, Romeo delivers a wake-up call: no one chooses their sexuality, but everyone can choose kindness. He pleads with listeners to love, defend and celebrate kids like Manuel, reminding us that they are “un regalo de Dios.” By sprinkling English lines such as “Keep your head up” and statistics about LGBTQ+ suicide, the singer breaks the fourth wall and turns the track into a public-service announcement. In short, "No Tiene La Culpa" is a heartfelt plea to end homophobia, smash toxic masculinity, and replace ridicule with empathy—because judging others only keeps humanity out of tune.
