Despacito
Pedro Fernández Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Despacito muy despacito
Se fue metiendo en mi corazon
Con mentiras y cariñitos
La fui queriendo con mucho amor

Despacito muy despacito
Crecía la llama de mi pasión
Y sabiendo que no era buena

Le di mi vida sin condición

Y hoy que quiero dejarla de amar
No responden las fuerzas de mi alma
Ya no se donde voy a acabar
Pero yo ya no puedo olvidarla

Despacito muy despacito
Me dijo cosas que nunca oí
Me enseño lo que tantas veces
Con otros labios no comprendí

Pero todo todo se acaba
La dicha grande también se va
Y nos deja nomas recuerdos
Recuerdos de ella que no vendrá

Y hoy que quiero dejarla de amar
No responden las fuerzas de mi alma

Ya no se donde voy a acabar
Pero yo ya no puedo olvidarla
