“Go away empty-handed”in other languages

Same idea, different pictures

English leaves with empty hands, and Italian with a dry mouth, a bocca asciutta, as if the meal never came. Portuguese is left watching ships, ficar a ver navios, from the shore, as they sail off.

Russian is left with the nose, остаться с носом. One explanation says нос once meant a gift brought to a suitor's family; if it was refused, he went home with it.
