Will you still be singing along to Justin Bieber's 'Despacito' knowing what the words actually mean?
We're used to singing along to our favourite songs on the radio, embracing the lyrics and occasionally getting all the feels. However, every now and again a song comes along that we love, but have no idea what it actually means – just like with Justin Bieber's 'Despacito' in 2017.
'Despacito' by Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee and Bieber is mostly in Spanish, but do you know what the lyrics actually mean in English?
Joe Biden Played Justin Bieber’s ‘Despacito’ At An Event & The Lyrics Are Probably Not What He Expected
According to the translation from Spanish to English, the lyrics include things like, 'Slowly, I want to breathe your neck slowly', 'I want to strip you off with kisses slowly, Sign the walls of your labrynth, And make your whole body a manuscript' and the brilliant, 'We will do it on the beach in Puerto Rico, Till the waves scream dear lord, So that my seal stays with you
A little bit cringe in the English language, eh? But we can so imagine hopeless romantic and PDA regular Justin serenading wife Hailey Baldwin with the lyrics.
Well, here are the full lyrics in English so just imagine how different the song would be if it was written over this side of the Atlantic!
Luis Fonzi, Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber - 'Despacito Remix' Lyrics
Yes, you know that I've been looking at you for a while
I have to dance with you today
I saw, that your look was calling me
Show me the way that I'm going oh
You you are the magnet and I'm the metal
I'm getting closer and I'm setting up the plan
Just the thought of it accelerates the pulse
now I'm enjoying it more than usual
All my senses are asking for more
This must be taken without any trouble
Slowly
I want to breathe your neck slowly
Let me tell you things in your ears
So that you remember when you're not with me
Slowly
I want to strip you off with kisses slowly
Sign the walls of your labrynth
And make your whole body a manuscript
Turn it up turn it up..... turn it up, turn it up
I wanna see you dance
I wanna be your rhythm
I want you to show me
Your favourite places places places Places
Let me surpass your danger zones
To make you scream
And forget your name
If I ask you for a kiss , come give it to me
I know that you're thinking about it
I've been trying for some time
Mommy this is giving and giving it
You know that your heart with me makes you bom bom
You know that this baby is looking for my bom bom
Come test my mouth to see what it taste like to you
I want to see how much love do you have
I'm not in a hurry, I want to do the trip
Let's start slowly then wildly
Step by step, soft softly
We are going to get caught little by little
When you kiss me so skillfully
I think that you're malicious delicately
Step by step, soft softly
We're going to get caught, little by little
And it's just that this beauty is a puzzle
But to put it together here I have the pieces
Slowly
I wanna breathe your neck slowly
Let me whisper things into your ear
So that you remember if you're not with me
Slowly
I wanna strip you off with kisses slowly
Sign the walls of your laberinth
And make your whole body a manuscript
Turn it up
I wanna see you dance
I wanna be your rhythm
I want you to show me
Your favourite places
Let me surpass your danger zones
Till I make you scream
And forget your name
Slowly
We will do it on the beach in Puerto Rico
Till the waves scream dear lord
So that my seal stays with you
Step by step, soft softly
We're going to get caught little by little
I want you to show me
Your favourite places places places Places
Step by step, soft softly
We're going to get caught little by little
To make you scream (Fonsi)
And forget your name (DY)
Slowly
And forget your name (DY)
Slowly
