Sí, sabes que ya llevo un rato mirándote
Yes, you know I've been watching you for a while now
Tengo que bailar contigo hoy
I have to dance with you today
Vi que tu mirada ya estaba llamándome
I saw that your gaze was already calling me
Muéstrame el camino que yo voy
Show me the way and I'm on my way
Tú eres el imán y yo soy el metal
You're the magnet and I'm the metal
Me voy acercando y voy armando el plan
I'm getting closer and I'm making my plan
Solo con pensarlo se acelera el pulso
Just thinking about it quickens my pulse
Ya, ya me está gustando más de lo normal
Now, I'm liking it more than usual
Todos mis sentidos van pidiendo más
All my senses are craving more
Esto hay que tomarlo sin ningún apuro
We should take this slow, without any rush
Despacito
Slowly
Quiero respirar tu cuello despacito
I want to breathe your neck slowly
Deja que te diga cosas al oido
Let me whisper things in your ear
Para que te acuerdes si no estás conmigo
So you remember me when you're not with me
Despacito
Slowly
Voy a desnudarte a besos despacito
I'm going to undress you with kisses slowly
Firmar las paredes de tu laberinto
Sign the walls of your labyrinth
Y hacer de tu cuerpo todo un manuscrito
And turn your body into a manuscript
Quiero ver bailar tu pelo
I want to see your hair dance
Quiero ser tu ritmo
I want to be your rhythm
Que le enseñes a mi boca
Let me teach my mouth
Tus lugares favoritos
Your favorite places
Déjame sobrepasar tus zonas de peligro
Let me cross over your danger zones
Hasta provocar tus gritos
Until I provoke your screams
Y que olvides tu apellido
And you forget your last name
Despacito
Slowly
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Sei que a tua pele já tá me esperando
I know your skin is already waiting for me
E vou caindo nessa tentação
And I keep falling into this temptation
Você tem a forca do híman e eu sou o metal
You have the strength of a magnet and I am the metal
Você dançando altera meu emocional
You dancing changes my emotions
E só de pensar nisso quase explode o peito
And just thinking about it nearly makes my heart explode
Já fiquei encantada mais do que o normal
I've been enchanted more than usual
Confunde meus sentidos, 'tou passando mal
It confuses my senses, I'm feeling unwell
Vamos devagar vou te mostrar meu jeito
Let's take it slow, I'll show you my way
Devagar
Slowly
Só quero sentir teu corpo devagar
I just want to feel your body slowly
Falar ao teu ouvido até te arrepiar
Whisper in your ear until you shiver
Quando ficar sozinho vai lembrar de mim
When you are alone, you'll remember me
Devagar
Slowly
Quero beijar teus lábios muito devagar
I want to kiss your lips very slowly
Ouvir os teus gemidos, te fazer voar
To hear your moans, to make you soar
Eu não tenho pressa, gosto mesmo assim
I’m not in a hurry, I like it just like this
Quero o balanço do cabelo, quero ser seu ritmo
I want the sway of your hair, I want to be your rhythm
Mostra para a minha boca, teus lugares favoritos
Show my mouth your favorite places
Me dê mais tempo para conhecer os seus caminhos
Give me more time to learn your ways
Seus segredos escondidos vão se revelar comigo
Your hidden secrets will reveal themselves with me
Despacito
Slowly
Oh-o, oh-o, oh-oh
Oh-o, oh-o, oh-oh
Despacito
Slowly
Devagarinho
Slowly
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Despacito
Gently
