We’ve been singing the lyrics to over and over and over again. However, if you don’t speak Spanish, do you know what you’re singing? We decided to find out & take on the challenge of translating the song that everyone and their mother are talking about…
“Despacito” – Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee ft. Justin Bieber
Let’s start with the title (and the word that appears most frequently throughout the track): despacito. According to our sources, it translates to slowly…okay okay…slowly dancing? Slowly moving? Let’s continue to find the context!
The first line of the chorus translates to I want to breathe your neck slowly…HMMMM okay… 😏
Then it continues… Let me tell you things in your ears ….MKAYYY…😏😏
More.. So that you remember when you’re not with me… YO. Someone seems to want this woman all to himself 😜
Shall we continue? The next lines translate to I want to strip you off with kisses slowly / Sign the walls of your labyrinth / And make your whole body a manuscript 💋💋💋 …this is gettin’ SPICY! 😱🔥
Anyone else sitting here like ⬇️ 🙈
To sum it all up: “Despacito” is about a guy who eyes a girl and wants to dance with her. He finally goes up to her and flirts with her, kisses her and then well…we’ll just leave it at that. 😜
