[English]

I wish I could give you the whole world

The moon, the sky, the sun, and the sea

Gift you the stars

In a glass box

Take you to outer space

And fly like Superman does

...

I want to be a superhero

And protect you from the bad guys

Give you the Milky Way

On a cereal plate

Take you to outer space

And fly like Superman does

You make me so weak (uh-uh-uh)

All my strength disappears when you're here (uh-uh-uh)

And my powers are nothing

I feel so average

So fragile, so real

You lift me to outer space

Just like Superman does

...

I wish I could write you a great poem

Using the sky as paper

Gather the clouds like cream

And bake you a supercake

Take you to outer space

Fly like Superman does

You make me so weak (uh-uh-uh)

All my strength disappears when you're here (uh-uh-uh)

And my powers are nothing

I feel so average

So fragile, so real

You lift me to outer space

You make me so in love (uh-uh-uh)

All my strength disappears when you're here (uh-uh-uh)

And my powers are nothing

I feel so average

So fragile, so real

I feel so normal

So fragile, so real

You lift me to outer space

Just like Superman does

...

[Spanish]

Quisiera darte el mundo entero

La luna, el cielo, el sol y el mar

Regalarte las estrellas

En una caja de cristal

Llevarte al espacio sideral

Y volar como lo hace Superman

Quisiera ser un superhéroe

Y protegerte contra el mal

Regalarte la vía láctea

En un plato de cereal

Llevarte al espacio sideral

Y volar como lo hace Superman

Me tienes tan debilitada (uh-uh-uh)

Todas mis fuerzas se me van si estás aquí (uh-uh-uh)

Y mis poderes no son nada

Me siento tan normal

Tan frágil, tan real

Me elevas al espacio sideral

Tal como lo hace Superman

Quisiera hacerte un gran poema

Usar el cielo de papel

Tomar las nubes como crema

Y hornearte un superpastel

Llevarte al espacio sideral

Volar como lo hace Superman

Me tienes tan debilitada (uh-uh-uh)

Todas mis fuerzas se me van si estás aquí (uh-uh-uh)

Y mis poderes no son nada

Me siento tan normal

Tan frágil, tan real

Me elevas al espacio sideral

Me tienes tan enamorada (uh-uh-uh)

Todas mis fuerzas se me van si estás aquí (uh-uh-uh)

Y mis poderes no son nada

Me siento tan normal

Tan frágil, tan real

Me siento tan normal

Tan frágil tan real

Me elevas al espacio sideral

Tal como lo hace Superman
