Original Despacito Remix Lyrics
Intro: Justin Bieber
Come and move that in my direction
So thankful for that, it’s such a blessin’, yeah
Turn every situation into heaven, yeah
Oh-oh, you are
My sunrise on the darkest day
Got me feelin’ some kind of way
Make me wanna savor every moment slowly, slowly
You fit me tailor-made, love how you put it on
Got the only key, know how to turn it on
The way you nibble on my ear, the only words I wanna hear
Baby, take it slow so we can last long
Verso 1: Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee
¡Oh! Tú, tú eres el imán y yo soy el metal
Me voy acercando y voy armando el plan
Solo con pensarlo, se acelera el pulso (Oh, yeah)
Ya, ya me está gustando más de lo normal
Todos mis sentidos van pidiendo más
Esto hay que tomarlo sin ningún apuro
Coro: Justin Bieber & Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee
Despacito
Quiero respirar tu cuello despacito
Deja que te diga cosas al oído
Para que te acuerdes si no estás conmigo
Despacito
Quiero desnudarte a besos despacito
Firmo en las paredes de tu laberinto
Y hacer de tu cuerpo todo un manuscrito
(Sube, sube, sube), ah (Sube, sube)
Post-Coro: Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee
Quiero ver bailar tu pelo, quiero ser tu ritmo (Woah, woah)
Que le enseñes a mi boca (Woah, woah)
Tus lugares favoritos (Favorito, favorito, baby)
Déjame sobrepasar tus zonas de peligro (Woah, woah)
Hasta provocar tus gritos (Woah, woah)
Y que olvides tu apellido (Diri-diri-diririri, Daddy, DY)
Verso 2: Daddy Yankee
Si te pido un beso, ven, dámelo, yo sé que estás pensándolo (Eh)
Llevo tiempo intentándolo (Eh), mami, esto es dando y dándolo
Sabes que tu corazón conmigo te hace bam-bam
Sabes que esa beba está buscando de mi bam-bam
Ven, prueba de mi boca para ver cómo te sabe (Eh-eh; ¡plo!)
Quiero, quiero, quiero ver cuánto amor a ti te cabe
Yo no tengo prisa, yo me quiero dar el viaje
Empezamos lento, después salvaje
Pre-Coro: Daddy Yankee, Daddy Yankee & Justin Bieber
Pasito a pasito, suave suavecito
Nos vamos pegando, poquito a poquito
Cuando tú me besas con esa destreza
Veo que eres malicia con delicadeza
Pasito a pasito, suave suavecito
Nos vamos pegando, poquito a poquito
Y es que esa belleza es un rompecabezas
Pero pa’ montarlo aquí tengo la pieza, oye (Yeah, yo)
Coro: Justin Bieber & Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee
Despacito
Quiero respirar tu cuello despacito
Deja que te diga cosas al oído
Para que te acuerdes si no estás conmigo
Despacito
Quiero desnudarte a besos despacito
Firmo en las paredes de tu laberinto
Y hacer de tu cuerpo todo un manuscrito
(Sube, sube, sube), ah (Sube, sube)
Post-Coro: Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee
Quiero ver bailar tu pelo, quiero ser tu ritmo (Woah, woah)
Que le enseñes a mi boca (Woah, woah)
Tus lugares favoritos (Favorito, favorito, baby)
Déjame sobrepasar tus zonas de peligro (Woah, woah)
Hasta provocar tus gritos (Woah, woah)
Y que olvides tu apellido
Puente: Luis Fonsi
Despacito
This is how we do it down in Puerto Rico
I just wanna hear you screaming, “¡Ay, bendito!”
I can move forever cuando esté contigo
(Báilalo)

Tus lugares favoritos

English Translation of Despacito Remix Lyrics
Intro: Justin Bieber
Come and move that in my direction
So thankful for that, it’s such a blessin’, yeah
Turn every situation into heaven, yeah
Oh, you are
My sunrise on the darkest day
Got me feelin’ some kind of way
Make me wanna savor every moment slowly, slowly
You fit me, tailor-made love, how you put it on
Got the only key, know how to turn it on
The way you nibble on my ear, the only words I wanna hear
Baby, take it slow so we can last long
Verse 1: Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee
Oh, you, you are the magnet and I’m the metal
I keep getting closer and building up the plan
Just thinking about it raises my heartbeat
Oh, yeah I, I’m already liking you more than usual
All my senses are asking for more
This needs to be taken with no hurry
Chorus: Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee & Justin Bieber
Slowly
I want to smell your neck slowly
Let me whisper things in your ear
So that you’ll remember if you’re not with me
Slowly
I want to undress you with my kisses, slowly
I sign the walls of your labyrinth
And make your whole body a manuscript
(Hop on, hop on, hop on!
Hop on, hop on!)
Post-Chorus: Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee
I want to see your hair dance
I want to be your rhythm
And you show my mouth
Your favorite places
(Favorite, favorite, baby)
Let me surpass your danger zones
To make you scream
And you forget your last name
Verse 2: Daddy Yankee
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 a while
Baby, this is giving and giving it
You know that your heart with mine makes you go bang-bang
You know that she is looking for my bang-bang
Come, taste from my mouth to see what it tastes like
I want to, I want to, I want to see how much love you can take in
I am not in a hurry, I want to take the trip
Let’s start slow, then wild
Pre-Chorus: Daddy Yankee & Justin Bieber
Step by step, smooth and gentle
We’re sticking together, little by little
When you kiss me with such skill
I see that you’re malice with tenderness
Step by step, smooth and gentle
We start sticking, little by little
And such beauty is a puzzle
But to solve it here I have the piece
Listen!
Chorus: Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee & Justin Bieber
Slowly
I want to smell your neck slowly
Let me whisper things in your ear
So that you remember if you’re not with me
Slowly
I want to undress you with my kisses, slowly
I sign the walls of your labyrinth
And make your whole body a manuscript
(Hop on, hop on, hop on!
Hop on, hop on!)
Post-Chorus: Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee
I want to see your hair dance
I want to be your rhythm
And you show my mouth
Your favorite places
(Favorite, favorite, baby)
Let me surpass your danger zones
To make you scream
And you forget your last name
Bridge: Luis Fonsi
Slowly
This is how we do it down in Puerto Rico
I just wanna hear you screaming, “Oh my god!”
I can move forever when it is with you
Dance!
Outro: Daddy Yankee, Luis Fonsi & Justin Bieber
Step by step, smooth and gentle
We’re sticking together, little by little
You show my mouth
Your favorite places
(Favorite, favorite, baby)
Step by step, smooth and gentle
We’re sticking together, little by little
Until we provoke screams (Fonsi)
And you forget your last name (D.Y.)
Slowly
