Despacito [Major Lazer & MOSKA Remix] Lyrics in English Luis Fonsi , Daddy Yankee

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Despacito [Major Lazer & MOSKA Remix] by Luis Fonsi from Spanish to English.
Diridiri, dirididi Daddy
no, no, no, no
Hey yeah
no, no, no, no
Hey yeah
Yes, you know I've been looking at you for a while now
I have to dance with you today
I saw that your gaze was already calling me
Show me the path I'm going
You, you are the magnet and I am the metal
I'm getting closer and I'm making the plan
Just thinking about it makes my pulse race
Now, I'm liking it more than usual
All my senses are asking for more
We have to take this without any rush
Despa-
Stop-, stop-
Slowly
Let's do it on a beach in Puerto Rico
Until the waves shout 'Oh, bless you'
So that my seal stays with you
Step by step, softly Softly
We're hitting each other, little by little
Show my mouth
Your favorite places (favorites, favorites baby)
Step by step, softly Softly
We're hitting each other, little by little
Until we make you scream (Fonsi)
And you forget your last name
Despa-
Despa-
Des-, des-, despa-

SONG MEANING

Despacito literally means slowly, and from the very first lines Luis Fonsi puts us in a playful, flirt-charged mood. He spots someone across the room, feels an irresistible pull — “tú eres el imán y yo soy el metal” — and starts mapping out a plan to get closer. The chorus turns that electricity into a sensual dance lesson: pasito a pasito, suave suavecito (“step by step, nice and gentle”). It is an invitation to savor every moment, letting heartbeats speed up while bodies move in perfect sync.

The remix keeps the lyrics’ sun-kissed romance but layers Major Lazer and MOSKA’s tropical-electro flair on top, making the beach scene in Puerto Rico feel even more vibrant. Daddy Yankee’s rapid-fire lines add swagger, the crashing-wave metaphor raises the temperature, and the chorus reminds us that passion can be both unhurried and intense. In short, the song is a celebration of Latin rhythm, coastal vibes, and the art of enjoying love despacito — slowly, but with undeniable heat.
