Verse 1

I took years and millennia to understand

That I can be bullfighter, sword, and bull at once

Now I can see it, now I can see it

Pure like water, fish heart

Kissed by the sun, brown-skinned

Mom cries at night, she doesn't know what to do

Another letter's arrived in the mailbox

There's nothing to pay with, there's nothing to eat

'That girl is broken, she feels too much'

Neighbors whisper around the neighborhood

Life goes by, years go by

Now I fly around the world, I live on stages

'That girl is broken, she feels too much'

Neighbors whisper around the neighborhood

Life goes by, years go by

Now I fly around the world, I live on stages

Chorus 1

I learned to cry by singing

I learned to sing while crying

Together we're changing

The ugly of this wicked world

I learned to cry by singing

I learned to sing while crying

Together we're changing

The ugly of this wicked world

Superpower, superpower

Superpower

The zeros in my account aren't inherited

I alone, singing, have earned them

I'm like the poppy, brown and red

I need nobody, I take care of myself

Dad smiles at me as if nothing were wrong

Even though everything's about to blow up

While his girl goes from hospital to hospital

Nothing was ever missing of what can't be bought

In case they told you that you couldn't

Because of money and its tyranny

For the working-class neighborhoods, for my Malvinas

You can be whatever you want, blessed be your life

In case they told you that you couldn't

Because of money and its tyranny

For the working-class neighborhoods, for my Malvinas

You can be whatever you want, blessed be your life

I learned to cry by singing

I learned to sing while crying

Together we're changing

The ugly of this wicked world

I learned to cry by singing

I learned to sing while crying

Together we're changing

The ugly of this wicked world

SONG MEANING

SUPERPODER is María José Llergo’s rallying cry for anyone who has ever been told “you feel too much” or “you can’t.” Drawing on images from traditional bullfighting, she declares that she can be the bullfighter, the sword and the bull all at once: victim, fighter and victory in a single heartbeat. The lyrics trace her journey from a working-class neighborhood where unpaid bills and hospital visits clouded her family’s nights to international stages where her voice now soars. Gossiping neighbors, financial hardship and fragile health try to pin her down, yet every tear turns into a note of song, every obstacle into another spark of courage.

Her “superpower” is a mix of self-love, solidarity and art. By learning to cry while singing and sing while crying, she transforms pain into beauty, inviting listeners—especially those from overlooked barrios—into a collective uprising of hope. Money, status and inherited privilege lose their grip when voices unite; together, we can “change the ugliness of this bad world.” In short, the song is an anthem of resilience that reminds you: your background does not define your ceiling, and your feelings are not a weakness but a superpower waiting to shine.
