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

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Papel, Pt. 2 (Versión Marido) by Romeo Santos from Spanish to English.
Someone believes
What they choose to believe
Do you love me?
Of course I love you, babe
Who's he?
He's just a friend, you're my only king, babe
Last night while I was making love to you, you didn't look me in the face
I sense that your orgasm was faked, don't say anything
You know my flaws and you test me each time that you mistreat me
I fall more in love with you like an idiot, I'm your puppet, my love
I don't demand honesty, my plea is the hypocrisy of being your owner
I refuse reality, make me believe that I'm the man of your dreams
I'm very weak, vulnerable, momentary in the intimacies
I don't fulfill those sexual fantasies and your lies are my truths
Paint me a picture and make me a role
Put on a play, I'm going to believe you
Lie to me, like you've done in the past
Dare, humiliate me, that's not strange
You keep being the villain in this play, your wickedness fascinates me
Lie to me, it's your woman's instinct
Dare, I love you more when you're cruel
I fall in love with your fake feelings, I feed on lies
Paint me a picture and make me a role
Put on a play, I'm going to believe you
That's the golden touch right there
I tried to tell 'em
Last night while I was making love to you I felt a wild passion
You whispered another man's name, I don't want details
I'm very weak, vulnerable, kinda dull in the intimacies
I don't fulfill those sexual fantasies and your lies are my truths
Paint me a picture and make me a role
Put on a play, I'm going to believe you
Lie to me, like you've done in the past
Dare, humiliate me, that's not strange
You keep being the villain in this play, your wickedness fascinates me
Lie to me, it's your woman's instinct
Dare, I love you more when you're cruel
I fall in love with your fake feelings, I feed on lies
Paint me a picture and make me a role
Put on a play, I'm going to believe you
Listen to the words of your true king
So nasty!
Lie to me, until whatever day you want, let's do it
Dare, from you I only want a performance
Lie to me, don't you dare say that I don't rule in your bed or in your soul, please
Lie to me, every day and at every chance
Dare, tell me that I'm your handsome black man, that there's no other like me
Come on, brunette, I'm asking you for the love of God, my heart demands it
Lie to me
Oh what a feeling, babe

SONG MEANING

“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.
