One possible translation into Bulgarian could be :

побеждавам [pobezhdavam]

This word has many other meanings like : conquer, overpower, etc.

Brazil Portuguese: superar, conquistar, dominar.
all three words have a similar meaning.
we would better choose the word "conquistar", which has a more general meaning, like "conquest", "achieve", "overcome".
"dominar" is more like "conquistar".
"superar" would better mean "to overcome a limit".
