[Verse 1]
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 want to hear

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

[Verse 2]
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

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

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
Las palabras de amor
Let me hear the words of love
Despacito, mi amor
Touch me now

[Outro]
Las palabras de amor
Let us share the words of love
Forevermore
Forevermore

Formed in 1970, Queen was a British rock band whose classic line-up consisted of Freddie Mercury on lead vocals and piano, Brian May on lead guitar, Roger Taylor on drums, and John Deacon on bass. Although Mercury and May wrote the bulk of the band’s material, all four contributed to the songwriting, churning out huge hits. Initially a progressive rock band with strong metal influences, their sound evolved dramatically over time. The band went on to refine, if not define “stadium rock,” as they grew to become one of the most beloved rock bands of all time.

Their early progressive phase spawned epic tracks like “March of the Black Queen” and one international hit “Killer Queen.” But it was their 1975 track “Bohemian Rhapsody” which catapulted the group to super-stardom. The song reigned at #1 on the UK charts for nine weeks and has since been praised as one of the greatest songs of all time

Moving away from their album-orientated sound, the band only grew in popularity with such songs as November 1976’s “Somebody to Love,” October 1977’s “We Are the Champions,” January 1979’s “Don’t Stop Me Now,” June 1980’s “Another One Bites the Dust,” January 1984’s “Radio Ga Ga,” and many more. These songs are so beloved that a musical based on the band’s discography, titled We Will Rock You, became one of West-End’s longest-running shows with a 12-year run through May 2014—and more events being featured internationally, as well.
