Penthouse Lyrics in English by Río Roma
Penthouse is a direct loanword from English, referring to a luxurious apartment on the top floor of a building. While it's an English word, its direct inclusion in a Spanish song makes it interesting.
In the song, the artist uses "penthouse" metaphorically to describe the highest, most cherished place in his heart, where his beloved resides. He sings, "Y si mi vida fuera un edificio, en el penthouse estás tú" (And if my life were a building, you are in the penthouse), elevating his love to the ultimate position.
Río Roma's "Penthouse" is a super fun and sweet song about being completely head-over-heels for someone! The singer starts by telling us all the things he likes, from eating "hamburguesas, helado de fresa" [hamburgers, strawberry ice cream] to preferring "más tequila que ron" [more tequila than rum]. He even loves listening to ballads and dancing to reggaeton, and he's a big fan of Dua Lipa!
But then he drops the bomb: after traveling to "mil lugares, probé mil sabores" [a thousand places, tried a thousand flavors], he's absolutely sure there's nothing in the world he likes more than this special person's "sonrisa bonita, cara de muñequita" [pretty smile, doll face]. He says if his life were a building, she'd be in the "penthouse" – the very best spot! He even jokes that if they fight, they'll make up "En la cama nos arreglamos!" [In bed we'll make up!]. It's a really charming and playful declaration of love.
