Enrique Iglesias - Hero - Lyrics & Video

Lovely video of this powerfully sung song by Enrique Iglesias, Hero is a classic love song a single released by Enrique Iglesias from his second English album Escape.

Enrique first released the song to radio in late November 2001 to a positive critical and commercial reception. After the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center, the song was one of the few songs chosen by Radio DJs in New York to be remixed with audio from police, firefighters, civilians at Ground Zero and Politicians commenting on the attacks.

The music video for “Hero” was directed by Joseph Kahn and features Iglesias as an honorable criminal hunted by his enemies, Jennifer Love Hewitt plays his love interest, while Mickey Rourke plays one of the men hunting him. The video follows a Bonnie and Clyde-esque plot with Iglesias and Hewitt running from their enemies in the desert. Finally, Iglesias’ enemies track him down and confront him outside a church. The video skips ahead where we see Iglesias and Hewitt in the rain surrounded by police cars. Iglesias clutches his torso, implying that he’d been shot. The video ends with Iglesias’ death. However, it is assumed that the police caught Rourke.

In addition to this video a second video was made for the UK with less violence. The final shot of this video shows Iglesias’ legs are moving, suggesting that he lives. While originally made for the UK this video has since replaced the original video on many music video stations throughout the world

Lyrics for Hero by Enrique Iglesias:

Let me be your hero

Would you dance if I asked you to dance?
Would you run and never look back
Would you cry if you saw me crying
Would you save my soul tonight?

Would you tremble if I touched your lips?
Would you laugh oh please tell me these
Now would you die for the one you love?
Hold me in your arms tonight?

(Chorus)
I can be you hero baby
I can kiss away the pain
I will stand by you forever
You can take my breath away

Would you swear that you’ll always be mine?
Would you lie would you run away
Am I in to deep?
Have I lost my mind?
I don’t care you’re here tonight

Chorus

I just want to hold you (2x)
Am I in too deep?
Have I lost my mind?
Well I don’t care you’re here tonight

Chorus (2x)

You can take my breath my breath away
I can be your hero
