Héroe Favorito Lyrics in English by Romeo Santos

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Héroe Favorito by Romeo Santos from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

I'm planning a kidnapping

To steal your love

My strategies don't work

And the imagination grows

I live in a fictional world

With a single commitment

To conquer you and give you all my attention

But your parents hand you over

To another man that you barely know

And I'm here without a solution

Chorus 1

I wish I were the Hulk and I'd protect you

Superman to show you the universe

If I were Batman there'd be no nights of fear

The Batcave our little love nest

If I were Spider-Man for a kiss

A hundred feet high I climb effortlessly to your balcony

And if someone asks you about your favorite hero

Tell them that it's me

Verse 2

I see a planet in my dreams

There we're going to love each other

With my sword I rescue you

It costs nothing to dream

I wish for the impossible, being the Invisible Man

I kidnap you as swiftly as Flash

But they're only scenes, comic strips that don't stick

There are no powers, I have no agility

Chorus 2

I wish I were the Hulk and I'd protect you

Superman to show you the universe

If I were Batman there'd be no nights of fear

The Batcave our little love nest

If I were Spider-Man for a kiss

A hundred feet high I climb effortlessly to your balcony

And if someone asks you about your favorite hero

Tell them that it's me

Bridge

The king is back

I wanna be your superhero

Chorus 3

I wish I were the Hulk and I'd protect you

Superman to show you the universe

If I were Batman there'd be no nights of fear

The Batcave our little love nest

If I were Spider-Man for your kisses

A hundred feet high I climb effortlessly to your balcony

And if someone asks you, favorite superhero

Then tell them that it's me

Did you like this lyrics translation?

historietas — comic books

The word historietas translates to 'comic books', stemming from the word 'historia' (story) combined with a diminutive suffix.

In this superhero-themed track, Romeo Santos laments that his fantasies of having superpowers to win over his love are just "historietas" compared to real life. It is a fun and highly educational vocabulary word that perfectly ties into the song's playful references to famous comic book characters.

Romeo Santos is feeling completely helpless in "Héroe Favorito." He's in love with a woman whose parents are marrying her off to someone else, and he admits his own plans aren't working out: "Mis estrategias no marchan / Y crece la imaginación" [My strategies aren't working / And my imagination grows]. So, what does he do? He imagines he has superpowers, of course!

This song is a huge, romantic fantasy where he dreams of becoming a superhero to save her. He wants to be The Hulk to protect her, Superman to show her the universe, and even Batman so they could use the Batcave as their "nidito de amor" [little love nest]. He'd even be Spider-Man, climbing a hundred feet to her balcony just for a kiss. Despite all these daydreams, he knows he's just a regular guy with no powers. But he still wants her to tell everyone that her favorite hero is him: "Y si alguien te pregunta por tu héroe favorito / Dile que soy yo" [And if someone asks you about your favorite hero / Tell them it's me].
