Just in case you aren’t too familiar with Spanish, here’s an English translation for Daddy Yankee, Luis Fonsi and Justin Bieber’s catchy hit, 'Despacito'.

If you thought 'Despacito (Remix)' might be a tad inappropriate for your three-year-old to sing, you’d be right.

Tbqh, I know less Spanish than Rob Burgundy, but to save you a heap of Google searches, this is what most people translate the lyrics to.

Enjoy!

[Intro: Justin Bieber]

Come on over 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 am the metal

I'm coming closer and making the plan

Just thinking of it accelerates my heartbeat

Oh, yeah

Now, I'm enjoying it more than normal

All my senses are asking for more

This must be taken without any trouble

 

[Chorus: Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee & Justin Bieber]

Slowly

I want to breathe on your neck slowly

Let me whisper things in your ear

So that you remember when your not with me

Slowly

I want to undress you with kisses slowly

Sign the walls of your labyrinth

And turn your entire body into a manuscript

(Turn it up x5)

 

[Bridge 1: Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee]

I want to see your hair dance

I want to be your rhythm

Teach my mouth

your favourite places

(Favourite, favourite, baby)

Let me surpass your danger zones

Until I make you scream

And your 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 some time

Babe, this is giving and giving it

You know that your heart goes boom boom when you're with me

You know that this baby is looking for my boom boom

Come, taste my mouth to see what it taste like to you

I want to see how much love fits in you

I'm not in a hurry, I want to take you on a ride

We'll start slowly then wildly

 

[Bridge 2: Daddy Yankee]

Step by step, soft soft

We're going to stick to each other, a little bit at a time

When you kiss me with that skill

I see that you're malicious with gentleness

Step by step, soft softly

We're going to stick to each other, a little bit at a time

And it's just that this beauty is a puzzle

But to put it together here I have the piece

Listen!

 

[Chorus: Luis Fonsi, Daddy Yankee & Justin Bieber]

Slowly

I want to breathe on your neck slowly

Let me whisper things in your ear

So that you remember when your not with me

Slowly

I want to undress you with kisses slowly

Sign the walls of your labyrinth

And turn your entire body into a manuscript

(Turn it up x5)

 

[Bridge 1: Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee]

I want to see your hair dance

I want to be your rhythm

Teach my mouth

your favourite places

(Favourite, favourite, baby)

Let me surpass your danger zones

Until I make you scream

And your forget your last name

 

[Verse 3: Luis Fonsi]

Slowly

This is how we do it down in Puerto Rico

I just wanna hear you screaming, "¡Oh, lord!"

I can move forever it stays with you

Dance it!

 

[Bridge 3: Daddy Yankee, Luis Fonsi & Justin Bieber]

Step by step, soft soft

We're going to stick to each other, a little bit at a time

Teach my mouth

your favourite places

(Favourite, favourite, baby)

Step by step, soft softly

We're going to stick to each other, a little bit at a time

Until I make you scream (Fonsi)

And your forget your last name (D.Y.)

Slowly
