Don't touch me now
Don't hold me now
Don't break the spell, darling
Now you are near
Look in my eyes and speak to me
The special promises I long to hear

Las palabras de amor
Let me hear the words of love
Despacito, mi amor
Love me slow and gently

One foolish world, so many souls
Senselessly hurled through
The never ending cold
And all for fear and all for greed
Speak any tongue
But for God's sake we need

Las palabras de amor
Let me hear the words of love
Despacito, mi amor
Let me know this night and evermore

This room is bare
This night is cold
We're far apart, and I'm growing old
But while we live
We'll meet again
So then, my love
We may whisper once more
It's you I adore

Las palabras de amor
Let me hear the words of love
Despacito, mi amor
Touch me now
Las palabras de amor
Let us share the words of love
For evermore, evermore
For evermore

    General Comment:My Spanish is rusty at best - what does despacito mean? "I'm desperate?" It doesn't translate in my English-Spanish dictionary - probably because it's already conjugated. I LOVE THIS SONG and I'm a huge Freddie fan. RIP

    General Comment:its difficult to say...this song, and every other Queen song, has a special meaning to me. like, say, Heaven for Everyone; it has a special meaning that i just cant really describe. ive learnt to hear all the parts of the song, and my mind just says something like, 'this one...reminds me of all the special times my best friend and i had together.' this song means much, and i just love it; could listen to it forever. and thats one of the ummm...about 3 songs that i could just listen to over and over and over and yes, the lyrics are correct as they are written up there.

    General Comment:To me, it's "what foolish world/so many songs/senselessly heard/through the never-ending cold".
    Anyway, I don't really like Queen's 80's output and I only like two other songs from Hot Space (Life Is Real and Under Pressure) but this song is wonderful. Pity it's not as well-known as say ... Another One Bites The Dust.

    General Comment:Wrong, it goes
    "What foolish world
    So many SOULS
    Senselessly hurt
    Through the never ending COLD..."
    Brilliant song. Excellent flowy keyboard intro too
