You're in line to be number one
And everyone's depending on you
I must admit it's getting kinda rough
A-waitin' 'round and playing number two

I have particular needs
So why'd I have to fall for a hero?

There ain't nothin' in the world that's free
A sacrifice to be all you can be
I ain't used to sittin' 'round the tree
But he's worth havin', if you know what I mean

Sometimes I feel like I'm in the way
But I know he's out there savin' the day

I have particular needs
So why'd I have to fall for a hero?
I'm not so hard to please
So why'd I have to fall for a hero?

Hero... Hero...
Why'd I have to fall for a hero?

Un jour ou l'autre, tu seras le chef Et tout le monde doit compter sur toi Je dois admettre que c'est très difficile Mais malheureusement, je n'ai pas le choix J'avais des tas de prétendants Pourquoi je suis amoureuse d'un héros ? Il n'y a rien au monde qui soit gratuit Tu te sacrifies pour ce que tu as envie J'ai pas l'habitude de perdre mon temps Mais j'en suis folle, alors tant pis, je l'attends Parfois, j'ai l'impression de gêner Mais je sais qu'il est là pour nous sauver J'avais des tas de prétendants Pourquoi je suis amoureuse d'un héros ? Avec mon caractère bouillant Pourquoi je suis amoureuse d'un héros ? Héros… Héros… Pourquoi je suis amoureuse d'un héros ?

Someday, you will be the ruler And everyone must count on you I must admit it's very difficult But unfortunately, I have no choice I had lots of suitors Why am I in love with a hero? There's nothing in the world that is free You sacrifice yourself for what you want I'm not used to wasting my time But I'm crazy about him, then so be it, I wait for him Sometimes, I feel like I'm in the way But I know that he is here to save us I had lots of suitors Why am I in love with a hero? With my fiery temper Why am I in love with a hero? Hero… Hero… Why am I in love with a hero?

Ti sei messo in fila per essere il numero uno E adesso tutto il mondo conta soltanto su di te E mi duole molto dirti che Aspettare ed essere la numero due sta diventando dura per me Mi conosco e so che voglio mille attenzioni Quindi perché dovrei innamorarmi proprio di un eroe? Non c'è niente al mondo che ti venga regalato Serve un po' di sacrificio se vuoi sentirti realizzato Non sono mai stata brava a stare ferma e guardare Ma in questo caso credo che valga la pena aspettare Qualche volta mi sembra di avere un po' paura E invece lui è lì fuori che combatte senza neanche un'armatura Mi conosco e so che voglio mille attenzioni Quindi perché dovrei innamorarmi proprio di un eroe? Non penso di chiedere molto Quindi perché dovrei innamorarmi di un eroe? Un eroe… Un eroe… Un vero eroe Perché mai dovrei innamorarmi di un eroe?

You got in line to be number one And now the whole world is counting on you And it really pains me to say to you that Waiting and being number two is getting tough for me I know myself and I know I want a lot of attention So why should I fall in love with a hero of all people? There's nothing in the world that's gifted to you You need a bit of sacrifice if you want to feel fulfilled I've never been good at staying still and looking But in this case I believe it's worth waiting Sometimes I feel a bit scared But instead he's out there fighting even without armor I know myself and I know I want a lot of attention So why should I fall in love with a hero of all people? I don't think I'm asking for much So why should I fall in love with a hero? A hero… A hero… A true hero Why should I ever fall in love with a hero?

Você gosta de ser número um? Por isso nada fica pra depois Vou te dizer, pra mim é bem difícil ficar quietinha, ser a número dois Eu sinto um vazio que até dói Então por que fui me ligar num herói? Já fez disso profissão de fé E larga tudo para ser o que é Saiba que esperar não é comigo, mas vale a Pena, vê se entende o que eu digo Às vezes eu me sinto sozinha E sei que ele está lá salvando o dia Eu sinto um vazio que até dói Então por que fui me ligar num herói? Pergunte a pergunta me Rói, por que fui me ligar num herói? Herói... Herói... Por que fui me ligar num herói?

Do you like being number one? That's why nothing gets left for later I'll tell you, for me it's really hard to stay quiet, to be number two I feel an emptiness that even hurts So why did I get attached to a hero? He's already made it a profession of faith And he'll give up everything to be who he is Know that waiting isn't my thing, but it's worth it See if you understand what I'm saying Sometimes I feel alone And I know he's there saving the day I feel an emptiness that even hurts So why did I get attached to a hero? Ask me the question It gnaws at me, why did I ever get attached to a hero? Hero... Hero... Why did I have to attach myself to a hero?
