About Luis Fonsi

Luis Fonsi is a Puerto Rican singer and songwriter who has become a global sensation, particularly after the release of his megahit “Despacito” in 2017.

Born Luis Alfonso Rodríguez López-Cepero on April 15, 1978, in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Fonsi showed musical talent from an early age. He moved to Orlando, Florida, as a child and later attended Florida State University on a full music scholarship.

Fonsi’s career took off in the late 1990s with his debut album “Comenzaré” (1998). He quickly became a heartthrob in the Latin pop scene, releasing hit after hit throughout the 2000s, including “Imaginame Sin Ti” and “No Me Doy por Vencido”.

However, it was the release of “Despacito” featuring Daddy Yankee (and later remixed with Justin Bieber) that catapulted Fonsi to unprecedented international stardom. The song broke numerous records, becoming the most-watched YouTube video of all time and spending a whopping 16 weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.

Beyond his chart-topping success, Fonsi has been recognized with multiple Grammy and Latin Grammy nominations, solidifying his status as one of Latin music’s most influential artists. His ability to blend pop with reggaeton and other Latin genres has helped bridge cultural gaps and bring Latin music to a global audience.

Meaning of Despacito by Luis Fonsi

“Despacito” by Luis Fonsi featuring Daddy Yankee is a reggaeton-pop hit that became a global sensation upon its release in 2017. The song’s lyrics are filled with romantic and sensual imagery, telling a story of seduction and desire.

The song begins with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee introducing themselves, setting the stage for a playful and catchy tune. The opening verse describes a magnetic attraction between two individuals, with Fonsi expressing his desire to dance with the other person and explore the connection that he feels.

As the song progresses, the chorus emphasizes the desire to take things slowly and enjoy intimate moments with the loved one. The lyrics paint a picture of wanting to breathe in the scent of the other person, whisper sweet nothings in their ear, and explore every inch of their body with tender kisses.

Daddy Yankee’s verse adds a playful and flirtatious tone to the song, with references to seeking a kiss and exploring the depths of love. The pre-chorus and chorus repeat the theme of taking things step by step and savoring the intimate moments shared between the two individuals.

The bridge adds a touch of fantasy to the song, envisioning a romantic encounter on a beach in Puerto Rico, with the waves singing along to the passion between the couple. The outro brings the song full circle, emphasizing the joy of the journey of love and intimacy, and the thrill of getting lost in the moment with a loved one.

Overall, “Despacito” is a celebration of love, sensuality, and the excitement of embarking on a new romantic adventure. The catchy melody, infectious rhythm, and lyrical charm of the song made it a global sensation and a beloved hit among listeners of all ages.

Lyrics of Despacito by Luis Fonsi

Letra de "Despacito" ft. Daddy Yankee

Intro: Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee
Ay, ¡Fonsi! ¡D.Y.!
Ooh, oh, no, oh, no, oh
¡Hey, yeah!
Dididiri Daddy, go!
Sí, sabes que ya llevo un rato mirándote
Tengo que bailar contigo hoy (¡D.Y.!)
Vi que tu mirada ya estaba llamándome
Muéstrame el camino que yo voy

Verso 1: Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee
¡Oh!
Tú, tú eres el imán y yo soy el metal
Me voy acercando y voy armando el plan
Sólo con pensarlo se acelera el pulso (¡Oh, yeah!)
Ya, ya me está gustando más de lo normal
Todos mis sentidos van pidiendo más
Esto hay que tomarlo sin ningún apuro

Estribillo: Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee
Despacito
Quiero respirar tu cuello despacito
Deja que te diga cosas al oído
Para que te acuerdes si no estás conmigo
Despacito
Quiero desnudarte a besos despacito
Firmar las paredes de tu laberinto
Y hacer de tu cuerpo todo un manuscrito
(Sube, sube, sube; sube, sube)

Post-Estribillo: Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee
Quiero ver bailar tu pelo, quiero ser tu ritmo (Woh, eh)
Que le enseñes a mi boca (Woh, eh)
Tus lugares favoritos (Favorito', favorito', baby)
Déjame sobrepasar tus zonas de peligro (Eh; woh, eh)
Hasta provocar tus gritos (Woh, eh)
Y que olvides tu apellido (Rrr; D.Y.)

Verso 2: Daddy Yankee
Si te pido un beso, ven, dámelo, yo sé que estás pensándolo (Eh)
Llevo tiempo intentándolo (Eh), mami, esto es dando y dándolo
Sabes que tu corazón conmigo te hace bam-bam
Sabes que esa beba está buscando de mi bam-bam
Ven, prueba de mi boca para ver cómo te sabe (Eh-eh; ¡plo!)
Quiero, quiero, quiero ver cuánto amor a ti te cabe
Yo no tengo prisa, yo me quiero dar el viaje
Empezamos lento, después salvaje

Pre-Estribillo: Daddy Yankee
Pasito a pasito, suave suavecito
Nos vamo' pegando, poquito a poquito
Cuando tú me besas con esa destreza
Veo que eres malicia con delicadeza
Pasito a pasito, suave suavecito
Nos vamo' pegando, poquito a poquito (Oh-oh)
Y es que esa belleza es un rompecabezas (No, no)
Pero pa' montarlo aquí tengo la pieza
¡Oye! (Yo', yo'; ¡plo!)

Estribillo: Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee
Despacito
Quiero respirar tu cuello despacito (Yo')
Deja que te diga cosas al oído (Yo')
Para que te acuerdes si no estás conmigo (Plo, plo)
Despacito (¡Plo!)
Quiero desnudarte a besos despacito (Yeah-eh)
Firmar las paredes de tu laberinto
Y hacer de tu cuerpo todo un manuscrito
(Sube, sube, sube, sube, sube)

Post-Estribillo: Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee
Quiero ver bailar tu pelo, quiero ser tu ritmo (Eh, woh, eh)
Que le enseñes a mi boca (Woh, eh)
Tus lugares favoritos (Favorito', favorito', baby)
Déjame sobrepasar tus zonas de peligro (Eh, woh, eh)
Hasta provocar tus gritos (Woh, eh)
Y que olvides tu apellido

Puente: Luis Fonsi
Despacito
Vamo' a hacerlo en una playa en Puerto Rico
Hasta que las olas griten: "¡Ay, Bendito!"
Para que mi sello se quede contigo
¡Báilalo!

Outro: Daddy Yankee & Luis Fonsi
Pasito a pasito, suave suavecito (Oh, yeah-yeah)
Nos vamos pegando, poquito a poquito (No, no; oh)
Que le enseñes a mi boca
Tus lugares favoritos
Favorito', favorito', baby (Ooh)
Pasito a pasito, suave suavecito
Nos vamos pegando, poquito a poquito
Hasta provocar tus gritos (Fonsi)
Y que olvides tu apellido (D.Y.)
Despacito
