| Oh | |
| Fonsi (Luis Fonsi) | |
| DY (Daddy Yankee's initials) | |
| Oh | |
| Oh no, oh no | |
| Oh yeah | |
| Diridiri, dirididi Daddy | |
| Go | |
| Yeah, you know I've been looking at you for a while | |
| I need to dance with you today (DY) | |
| I saw that your gaze was calling to me | |
| Show me the way, I'll come (Oh) | |
| You, you are the magnet and I'm the metal | |
| I'm getting closer and I'm putting a plan together | |
| Just thinking about it makes my pulse quicken (Oh yeah) | |
| I'm already liking this more than normal | |
| All of my senses are asking for more | |
| We need to take this without any rush | |
| Slowly | |
| I want to breathe your neck in slowly | |
| Let me whisper things into your ear | |
| So that you remember if we're not together | |
| Slowly | |
| I want to undress you with kisses slowly | |
| I write on the walls of your labyrinth | |
| And make a manuscript of your body (go up, go up) | |
| Go up, go up | |
| I want to see your hair dance | |
| I want to be your rhythm | |
| I want you to show my mouth | |
| Your favorite places (favorite, favorite baby) | |
| Let me overtake your danger zones | |
| Until I rouse your cries | |
| And make you forget your last name (Diridiri, dirididi Daddy) | |
| If I ask you for a kiss, come give it to me | |
| I know you're thinking about it | |
| I've been trying to for a while | |
| Baby, this is giving and giving it | |
| You know your heart goes boom, boom with me | |
| You know that that girl is looking for my boom, boom | |
| Come taste my mouth and see how it tastes | |
| I want, I want, I want to see how much love fits inside you | |
| I'm not in a hurry, I want to enjoy the trip | |
| Let's start slow, and then go wild | |
| Step by step, soft, softly | |
| We keep getting closer, little by little | |
| When you kiss me with that skill | |
| I see that you're malice mixed with delicateness | |
| Step by step, soft, softly | |
| We keep getting closer, little by little | |
| And it's just that your beauty is a (jigsaw) puzzle | |
| But to set it up here I have the piece | |
| Slowly | |
| I want to breathe your neck in slowly | |
| Let me whisper things into your ear | |
| So that you remember if we're not together | |
| Slowly | |
| I want to undress you with kisses slowly | |
| I write on the walls of your labyrinth | |
| And make a manuscript of your body (go up, go up) | |
| Go up, go up | |
| I want to see your hair dance | |
| I want to be your rhythm | |
| I want you to show my mouth | |
| Your favorite places (favorite, favorite baby) | |
| Let me overtake your danger zones | |
| Until I rouse your cries | |
| And make you forget your last name | |
| Slowly | |
| Let's do it on a beach in Puerto Rico | |
| Until the waves shout "Dear Lord!" | |
| So that my seal/mark stays with you | |
| Step by step, soft, softly | |
| We keep getting closer, little by little | |
| I want you to show my mouth | |
| Your favorite places (favorite, favorite baby) | |
| Step by step, soft, softly | |
| We keep getting closer, little by little | |
| Until I rouse your cries | |
| And make you forget your last name | |
| Slowly |
Doesn't sound quite as sexy in English, huh? ;D
A New Sound
Latin pop-star Luis Fonsi and reggaetónsuperstar Daddy Yankee teamed up to create a unique reggaetón pop sound with their smash hit "Despacito." While "Despacito" could be considered a reggaetón song, it also represents a new blend of reggaetón and Latin pop that appeals to a larger market, which now includes the English-speaking world thanks to Justin Bieber's remix!
