Super Homem
Anselmo Ralph
The Heartfelt Plea of a Modern-Day Superhero
In Anselmo Ralph's song "Super Homem," the artist passionately conveys his deep affection and longing for a woman who seems hesitant to reciprocate his feelings. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man who has been persistently trying to win over the heart of his beloved, knocking on the door of her heart, only to be met with indifference. He expresses his frustration and desperation, emphasizing that she is the one for him, the most beautiful flower in the garden. This metaphor highlights her unique and irreplaceable value in his eyes.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant, as Anselmo promises to be her "Super Homem" (Superman), despite not having the physical attributes of a superhero. He vows to give her the moon and the sun, symbolizing his willingness to go to great lengths to make her happy. His embrace, though not made of steel, is strong and comforting, and he assures her that he will take her to the heavens, metaphorically speaking. This imagery underscores his commitment and the depth of his love, portraying him as a modern-day hero who, despite his human limitations, is ready to offer unwavering support and affection.
Anselmo also addresses the woman's past experiences, acknowledging that she may have been hurt before by a "crazy damo" (crazy guy). He reassures her that his love is sincere, a remedy, and eternal. This part of the song adds a layer of empathy and understanding, as he recognizes her fears and promises to be different. The repeated plea for her to accept his love and the promise to be her hero, whether as Spider-Man climbing the walls of her heart or Superman taking her to the skies, encapsulates the essence of the song: a heartfelt declaration of love and a promise of unwavering support and devotion.
