El Papel, Pt. 2 (Versión Marido) Lyrics in English Romeo Santos

“El Papel, Pt. 2 (Versión Marido)” drops us right into a steamy telenovela where Romeo Santos plays the willing victim of love’s most twisted plot. Over hypnotic bachata, he confesses that his partner cheats, lies, and even whispers another man’s name in bed, yet he begs her to keep the performance alive. He knows the passion is fake, but he would rather live inside her carefully painted fantasy than confront a lonely truth. The song’s title hints at theater: píntame un cuadro y hazme un papel (paint me a picture and give me a role). Romeo chooses to be the puppet, celebrating the very drama that should break his heart.

Behind the sensual rhythm lies a raw exploration of emotional masochism and self-deception. Romeo admits his insecurities (he calls himself “débil” and “títere”) and craves the lies that make him feel like “el hombre de tus sueños.” His lover is the “villana” whose cruelty only deepens his obsession. The chorus turns deception into an erotic ritual: “Miénteme… Atrévete… Humíllame.” By the end, the lines between pleasure and pain blur completely; love survives only as theater, and the audience is invited to enjoy every tantalizing scene.
