Lyrics & Translation

Dive into the golden age of Latin Pop with "Y Nada Más." This simple, yet profound ballad from José José's 1974 album *Vive* is an excellent piece for learning Spanish vocabulary related to pure emotion and romantic humility. The lyrics are straightforward, reinforcing the core message of 'only love and nothing else' (Y Nada Más), making it highly memorable. Listening to *El Príncipe de la Canción's* vocal delivery is an unparalleled lesson in conveying deep feeling and sincerity in Spanish.

[English]

If I

could put

the world at your feet, I would do it

If I

could give you

the earth, the sky, and the sea

I would give them to you

But I cannot

It's impossible, I just love you

I just love you

And nothing more

If you

could put

the world at my feet, you would do it

If you

could give me

the earth, the sky, and the sea

you would give them to me

But you cannot

It's impossible, you just love me

You just love me

And nothing more

What does the rest matter anymore?

If we can love each other

What does the rest matter anymore?

If we can love each other

I just love you, you just love me

And we love each other, and nothing more

I just love you, you just love me

And we love each other, and nothing more

And nothing more

And nothing more

And nothing more...

...

[Spanish]

Si yo

Pudiera poner

El mundo a tus pies, lo haría

Si yo

Te pudiera dar

La tierra, el cielo y el mar

Te los daría

Pero no puedo

Es imposible, solo te quiero

Solo te quiero

Y nada más

Si tú

Pudieras poner

El mundo a mis pies, lo harías

Si tú

Me pudieras dar

La tierra, el cielo y el mar

Me los darías

Pero no puedes

Es imposible, solo me quieres

Solo me quieres

Y nada más

¿Ya qué más da lo demás?

Si nos podemos amar

¿Ya qué más da lo demás?

Si nos podemos amar

Solo te quiero, solo me quieres

Y nos queremos y nada más

Solo te quiero, solo me quieres

Y nos queremos y nada más

Y nada más

Y nada más

Y nada más...
