WT* Did He JUST SAY? Despacito Translated and Sung to You in English for Your Entertainment this Lovely Sunday! 🤣😂💜✌️😂🤣

in #music7 years ago (edited)

😂This is something you just have to see! Wait until you hear what this top of the charts hit sounds like in English... Guys it is just too much! Translation can be such a pickle! 🤣

I decided I'm going to sing you Despacito in English, are you ready or what?

I would love it if you’d watch the video to hear the lyrics in action. I uploaded the lyrics in CC so if you turn it on, you can see the lyrics on screen. It’s so ridiculous, I couldn’t stop myself from making this to share with you!


So here I was, freshly rejuvenated from an ancient cleanse to my system, sitting at my computer about to let my heart flow freely into the keyboard to give you Pt 5 of Confessions when the thought of Dominican, Spanish, the culture started swirling around like a tornado in my head. The next thing I knew I was humming Despacito like nobody’s business… some of the lyrics started translating in my mind from my limited Spanish…

WAIT WHAAAAT DID HE JUST SAY?

A new Google tab opened up faster than you can imagine as my thoughts were scrambling to know the truth- should I try to translate this song? No, my Spanish is not equipped to handle that task… I bet you someone else has translated this…

Yep, English lyrics of Despacito at my service, thank you internet! Here’s the link for the video that I pulled the translated lyrics from!

This was one of the most fun posts I have made so far. I live in an area of Bali where it’s mostly local people, there are wild chickens running around clucking, dogs running the roads barking bloody murder, distant sounds of the ceremonial music and chanting echoing through the house and here I am, a Canadian import, sitting outside, singing a Spanish song, in English. It was seriously too much. I can't even begin to tell you how much I loved doing this! I hope you enjoy it! 💜

Disclaimer:

The video where the translation came from says that it might not be completely accurate... but then another source had it almost word for word, so there you go!

Despacito Translated (from Spanish to English)

Comin' over in my direction
So thankful for that, it's such a blessin', yeah
Turn every situation into heaven, yeah
Ohhh, 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

You, you are the magnet and I'm the metal
I'm getting closer and I'm setting up the plan
Just the thought of it accelerates the pulse
Now I'm enjoying it more than usual
All my senses are asking for more
This must be taken without any trouble

Slowly I
Want to breathe your neck slowly
Let me tell you things in your ears
So that you remember when you're not with me
Slowly
I want to strip you off with kisses slowly
Sign the walls of your labrynth
And make your whole body a manuscript
Turn it up turn it up..... turn it up, turn it up

I wanna see you move your hair
I wanna be your rhythm
I want you to show it to my mouth
Your favourite places places
Let me surpass
your danger zones
To make you scream
And forget your name

If I ask you for a kiss , come give it to me
I know that you're thinking about it
Mommy this is giving and giving it
You know that your heart with me makes you bom bom
You know that this baby is looking for my bom bom
Come test my mouth to see what it taste like to you
I want to see how much love do you have
I'm not in a hurry, I want to do the trip
Let's start slowly then wildly

Step by step, soft softly
We are going to get caught little by little
When you kiss me so skillfully
I think that you're malicious delicately
Step by step, soft softly
We're going to get caught, little by little
And it's just that this beauty is a puzzle
But to put it together here I have the pieces

Slowly
I wanna breathe your neck slowly
Let me whisper things into your ear
So that you remember if you're not with me
Slowly
I wanna strip you off with kisses slowly
Sign the walls of your laberinth
And make your whole body a manuscript
Turn it up

I wanna see you move your hair
I wanna be your rhythm
I want you to show it to my mouth
Your favourite places
Let me surpass your danger zones
Till I make you scream
And forget your name

Slowly
This is how we do it down in Puerto Rico,
I just want to hear you screaming EYE bandito
I can move forever with you
Dance it!

It was so hard to sing these lyrics without falling off my chair laughing! Hope it brings a smile to your Sunday, wherever you are in the world.

Also just in fairness and legalities, I love this song, I think it is catchy, upbeat and I have a soft spot for the Beibs being Canadian and all. I mean no offense to the artists who created this!

Hahaha, let's dance! :-D

Cg

I should let you know that I am a horrible dancer. Dreadful really. :(
But I am willing to try! :)

I can't dance... I have two left feet haha :)

Me too! That's why this is so perfect! ;)

I love this song. Since I live in Panama this plays all the time. Thank you for the laughs!

Haha yes, it seems to be playing everywhere! Happy you enjoyed! :)

When the song came to Malaysia and was playing on the radio non-stop. A naturally when and get a Google translation of the lyrics because I don't like listening to songs I don't know the meaning of.

Yep, I had the same reaction as you. Almost word for word.

Great attempt at singing the translations by the way. It's doubly difficult because of the lack of pronunciatiable English sounds fill in the gap in the melody.

Hey! Oh I know, it is just crazy how much this song plays everywhere, which is how it got me thinking! That's funny that you looked it up too! I think a lot of people have no idea, and it's just hilarious to me to know now, I laugh everytime I hear it :P

Thanks for noticing that! I had so much fun learning it but it's true, it doesn't exactly flow in the same way but I really, really enjoyed the challenge of it, especially the rapping :P

Have a great day!

I guess I'm just the type that is doesn't ever leave my curiosities unsatisfied. Sometimes it really feels like a peeve to not feel comfortable that the thought of not knowing what something means, whatever it is.

I was actually very impressed that you went ahead with the rapping! Not even Justin Bieber can pull that off. Well, he tried... but it ain't even pretty. Not gonna link the video because I dont wanna make you cringe. LOL!

Hahaha I am the same way! I always want to know everything. I am definitely a "why" person. This song really got to me :P

Oh man... the rapping! I had to give it an honest effort! I am no Daddy Yankee but I tried ;)

Thanks for watching it, it was seriously so much fun to make :)

Lmaooooo, this was so much awesome sauceeeee in one post. The song makes me nauseous when it plays now because they played it every other song here in Florida. But your explanation and performance where awesome sauceee!!!

Haha thanks @healthyrecipe, I always try to spice things up! I have to tell you I was howling laughing at myself trying to figure out how to do this! It was way too much fun... I can't get it out of my head :P
I hope this version was ok, no nausea intended ;)
XO,

😂😂😂 much better than the over played original for sure. Two thumbs up. 👍🏼 👍🏼

You are a little bit awesome hey! Upped & resteemed.

Looking forward to meeting you at Ubud Steemit HQ :)

Hey thank you! I will definitely give this a try again soon, it was so much fun :)
Have a great day! Thanks for making me smile :)

haha... I knew it!
(The underline meaning of the whole song)

Hahaha too funny right? I love it! :)
Have an awesome day!
XO,

I really like Spanish songs and Spanish as a language as well, I know it a little and when I started to learn Italian on duolingo they keep twisting with each other in my head so much that I actually speak Spantalian when trying to communicate with someone :P

Hahah I know that feeling, for me it was Spanish and French which are far too similar, I never knew what language I was speaking ;)
I also love Spanish too, it's a gorgeous sounding language, but so is Italian... and French ;)
