If you thought we'd seen 
the peak of Bieber Fever,

00:00:02.292 --> 00:00:05.892
get ready for the epidemic's
new strain, la Fiebre de Bieber.

00:00:05.892 --> 00:00:06.904
And the source?

00:00:06.904 --> 00:00:11.415
Latin heart throb Luis Fonsi and Reggaeton
King Daddy Yankee's "Despacito (Remix)"

00:00:11.415 --> 00:00:14.569
featuring Justin Bieber
swooning us all in Spanish.

00:00:14.569 --> 00:00:18.826
The YouTube song premiere racked up
over 20 million views in the first 24 hours

00:00:18.826 --> 00:00:24.605
of its release, making it 2017's biggest
YouTube music video debut so far.

00:00:24.605 --> 00:00:28.892
The original "Despacito" was already
a huge success on Billboard's Latin charts,

00:00:28.892 --> 00:00:33.005
currently spending its 12th week
at #1 for Hot Latin Songs.

00:00:33.005 --> 00:00:38.646
And now, the remix, released on April 16th,
has given Bieber his 12th Hot 100 Top 10 hit

00:00:38.646 --> 00:00:41.494
& the first for both Luis Fonsi
and Daddy Yankee.

00:00:41.494 --> 00:00:46.024
As a matter of fact, and music history, 
this is the first mostly Spanish track

00:00:46.024 --> 00:00:50.600
to hit Billboard's Hot 100 Top 10
since "Macarena" in 1996.

00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:52.430
"Hey, Macarena!"

00:00:52.430 --> 00:00:57.674
The "Despacito (Remix)" song page is currently
No. 3 on Genius' Top Songs Chart for the week.

00:00:57.674 --> 00:01:00.646
And while we're all singing along
to Bieber's spanish serenades,

00:01:00.646 --> 00:01:03.012
do you know what the heck
he's actually saying?

00:01:03.012 --> 00:01:06.340
If you don't, you're in luck… 
it's time to translate!

00:01:16.882 --> 00:01:17.796
Ok y'all ready?

00:01:17.796 --> 00:01:18.626
Translation:

00:01:18.626 --> 00:01:21.482
"Slowly, I wanna slowly
breathe on your neck."

00:01:21.482 --> 00:01:26.430
"Let me whisper in your ear, 
so you remember when you aren't with me."

00:01:35.874 --> 00:01:40.026
"Slowly, I want to undress you
with kisses, slowly."

00:01:40.026 --> 00:01:44.406
"Sign the walls of your labyrinth
and make your body a manuscript"

00:01:44.406 --> 00:01:46.246
Ooohhh, 
there's more

00:01:56.004 --> 00:02:01.732
"Step by step, slow slowly
We get closer, little by little"

00:02:01.732 --> 00:02:06.475
"When you kiss me with those skills
I see you're naughty with your delicacy."

00:02:06.475 --> 00:02:10.024
It's been a little over a week since 
the "Despacito (Remix)" dropped,

00:02:10.024 --> 00:02:14.510
and it's already Spotify's first
spanish-language song to reach no. 1

00:02:14.510 --> 00:02:21.358
globally plus digital sales for "Despacito"
have soared 510 percent to 60,000,

00:02:21.358 --> 00:02:27.429
previously peaking at No.48 and now re-entering
at No. 8 on the all-genre Digital Song Sales chart.

00:02:27.429 --> 00:02:30.688
Yep, no one's safe from 
la Fiebre de Bieber this time around.

00:02:30.688 --> 00:02:32.725
I'm Letty for Genius news
bringing you

00:02:32.725 --> 00:02:35.045
the meaning and hidden 
knowledge behind the music.

00:02:35.045 --> 00:02:37.005
