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 único que tengo es amor para amar 
Si así tú me quieres te puedo querer 
Pero si no puedes ni modo que hacer 

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

Yo sé que a mi lado tú 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 nací pobre y es por eso que no me puedes querer 

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

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

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

No tengo dinero ni nada que dar
