The song Despacito took 1st place in Spotify's "most streamed songs" list in countries all over the world- so you'll hear it on English radio stations as well as Spanish. We've translated the original song for you here, which (heads up) is pretty dirty in English (it was actually banned in Malaysia on all public TV and radio stations for being obscene, though the Justin Bieber remix is still allowed on the air).
Here's the official music video so you can listen along to the Lyrics:
Despacito
Sí, sabes que ya llevo un rato mirándote = Yeah, you know I’ve been watching you for awhile
Tengo que bailar contigo hoy = I’ve gotta dance with you today
Vi que tu mirada ya estaba llamándome = I saw that your look was calling me
Muéstrame el camino que yo voy, oh = Show me the way and I’ll go, oh
Tú, tú eres el imán y yo soy el metal = You, you’re the magnet and I’m the metal
Me voy acercando y voy armando el plan = I get closer and I go putting together the plan
Solo con pensarlo se acelera el pulso = Just by thinking about it my pulse accelerates
(Oh, yeah)
Ya, ya me está gustando más de lo normal = Already, I already like you more than normal
Todos mis sentidos van pidiendo más = All of my feelings are asking for more
Esto hay que tomarlo sin ningún apuro = We gotta take this without any rushes
Des-pa-cito = Slow-ow-ow-ly
Quiero respirar tu cuello despacito = I wanna breathe in your neck slowly
Deja que te diga cosas al oído = Let me say things into your ear
Para que te acuerdes si no estás conmigo = So that you remember if you’re not with me
Des-pa-cito = Slow-ow-ow-ly
Quiero desnudarte a besos despacito = I wanna slowly undress you with my kisses
Firmo en las paredes de tu laberinto = I’ll sign my autograph on the walls of your labyrinth
Y hacer de tu cuerpo todo un manuscrito = And make your whole body into a manuscript
Sube, sube, sube = Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up
Sube, sube = Turn it up, turn it up
Quiero ver bailar tu pelo = I wanna see your hair dancing
Quiero ser tu ritmo = I wanna be your rhythm
Que le enseñes a mi boca = Show my mouth
Tus lugares favoritos = Your favorite places
(Favorito, favorito, baby) = (Favorite, favorite, baby)
Déjame sobrepasar tus zonas de peligro = Let me get past your danger zones
Hasta provocar tus gritos = Until I provoke your screams
Y que olvides tu apellido = And you forget your last name
Si te pido un beso ven dámelo = If I ask for a kiss come and give it to me
Yo sé que estás pensándolo = I know you’re thinking about it
Llevo tiempo intentándolo = I’ve been trying for a while
Mami, esto es dando y dándolo = Mami, this is trying and trying
Sabes que tu corazón conmigo te hace bang-bang = You know that your heart with me goes bang-bang
Sabes que esa beba está buscando de mi bang-bang = You know that girl’s looking for my bang-bang
Ven prueba de mi boca para ver cómo te sabe = Come try my mouth to see how it tastes
Quiero, quiero, quiero ver cuánto amor a ti te cabe = I wanna, I wanna, I wanna see how much love fits inside of you
Yo no tengo prisa, yo me quiero dar el viaje = I’m not in a rush, I wanna take a trip
Empecemos lento, después salvaje = Let’s start slow, later savage
Pasito a pasito, suave suavecito = Step by step, slow slow
Nos vamos pegando, poquito a poquito = We’re hitting against each other, little by little
Cuando tú me besas con esa destreza = When you kiss me with that skill
Veo que eres malicia con delicadeza = I see that you’re malice with delicacy
Pasito a pasito, suave suavecito = Step by step, slow slow
Nos vamos pegando, poquito a poquito = We’re hitting against each other, little by little
Y es que esa belleza es un rompecabezas = And it’s that that beauty is a puzzle
Pero pa' montarlo aquí tengo la pieza = But in order to ride it I’ve got the piece
¡Oye! = Hey!

Vamo' a hacerlo en una playa en Puerto Rico = We’re gonna do it on a beach in Puerto Rico
Hasta que las olas griten "¡Ay, Bendito!" = Until the waves scream “Oh, Blessed One!”
