DESPACITO ENGLISH TRANSLATION

 

 

Yeah, you know I’ve been watching you for a while now

I’ve gotta dance with you today

I saw your look was calling me

Show me the path I’m on

You, you’re the magnet and I’m the metal 

I’m getting closer and hatching a plan

Just thinking about it gets my pulse racing (oh yeah)

I like her more than usual now

All my senses are begging for more

Gotta take this without any hurry

Slowly

I wanna breathe in your neck slowly

Let me whisper in your ear

So that you remember if you’re not with me

Slowly

I wanna undress you slowly with kisses

Slowly

Sign on the walls of your labyrinth

And make your whole body a manuscript

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up

I wanna see your hair dance

I wanna be your rhythm 

Show my mouth your favorite places (favorite, baby favorite)

Let me surpass your danger zones

Until I make you scream

And you forget your last name

If I ask you for a kiss, come and give it to me

I know you’re thinking about it

I’ve been trying for a while

Baby this is giving and giving it

You know you’re heart with me makes you go boom boom

You know that baby is looking for my boom boom

Come and try my mouth to see what it tastes of

I wanna, wanna, wanna, see how much love fits inside you

I got no hurry, I wanna take a journey

Let’s start slowly then get wild

step by step, softly, softly

Let’s get closer and closer, little by little

When you kiss me with such dexterity

I see you’re mischief mixed with delicacy

Step by step, softly, softly

Let’s get closer and closer, little by little

That beauty is a jigsaw puzzle

But here I got the missing piece

Slowly

I wanna breathe in your neck slowly

Let me whisper in your ear

So that you remember if you’re not with me

Slowly

I wanna undress you slowly with kisses

Slowly

Sign on the walls of your labyrinth

And make your whole body a manuscript

Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, turn it up

I wanna see your hair dance

I wanna be your rhythm 

And for you to show my mouth your favorite places (favorite, baby favorite)

Let me surpass your danger zones

Until I make you scream

And you forget your last name

Slowly

We’re gonna do it on a beach in Puerto Rico 

Until the waves shout oh my god!

So my seed stays with you 

Step by step, softly, softly

Let’s get closer and closer, little by little

Show my mouth your favorite places (favorite, baby favorite)

Step by step, softly, softly

Let’s get closer and closer, little by little

Until I make you scream

And you forget your last name

Slowly

Step by step, softly, softly

Let’s get closer and closer, little by little

Step by step, softly, softly

Let’s get closer and closer, little by little

    1. Far from it. Kinda catchy but I’m not too into it either. Thought I’d translate the lyrics just for the sake of it.. It’s the most watched video ever on YouTube.
