Holding out for a hero

El éxito entre las mujeres de las novelas románticas, como la que estoy acabando de leer y que pronto os comentaré, demuestra que en nuestra fantasía todas anhelamos un héroe que posea las cualidades que canta Bonnie Tyler aquí. El vídeo, de 1985, es bastante cutre pero la canción me encanta, me levanta el ánimo y –lo que es peor- me da ganas de ponerme a berrearla a voz en grito. Menos mal que no me oís.

Where have all the good men gone And where are all the gods? Where's the street-wise Hercules To fight the rising odds? Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed? Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need [Chorus] I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night He's gotta be strong And he's gotta be fast And he's gotta be fresh from the fight I need a hero I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light He's gotta be sure And it's gotta be soon And he's gotta be larger than life Somewhere after midnight In my wildest fantasy Somewhere just beyond my reach There's someone reaching back for me Racing on the thunder end rising with the heat It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off my feet [Chorus] Up where the mountains meet the heavens above Out where the lightning splits the sea I would swear that there's someone somewhere Watching me Through the wind end the chill and the rain And the storm and the flood I can feel his approach Like the fire in my blood
