From celebrities to humble nobodies (like yours truly), Despacito is making everyone move to its Spanish groove. Even Sanchez couldn’t resist but celebrate Arsenal’s big FA Cup win with this song.

We’re forever thankful to Justin Bieber for introducing us to Luis Fonsi, even though he couldn’t remember the lyrics to the song. But hey, it’s not his fault. The lyrics are kinda tricky to pronounce and without knowing what it means, man is it hard or what? 

If you too, like me, only say Despacito, Pacito and Favourito from time to time, here’s some help decoding the beautiful lyrics of this awesome song:

Verse 1 

Sí, sabes que ya llevo un rato mirándote

Tú, tú eres el imán y yo soy el metal

Ya, ya me está gustando más de lo normal

Translation:

Yes, you know that I’ve been looking you for a while

You you are the magnet and I’m the metal

All my senses are asking for more

Chorus:

Despacito

Translation:

Slowly

Second Chorus:

Quiero ver bailar tu pelo

Translation: 

I wanna see you dance

Verse 2

Déjame sobrepasar tus zonas de peligro

Translation:

Let me surpass your danger zones

Bridge:

Pasito a pasito, suave suavecito

Translation: 

Baby step by baby step, smooth, nice and smooth

Here’s the song for all you Despacito fans!
