1st Verse:
Yo soy más del despacito sin prisa y con calma
Me encanta disfrutar del momento y no me gusta cuando se acaba
Por eso no veo el reloj tampoco el calendario
No quiero saber si salio el sol o al contrario
(No quiero que pase el tiempo cuando estoy contigo)
Por eso todo lo que haces, has lo slow
2nd Verse:
Quisiera tener el poder para detener el tiempo
Y como es imposible hay que hacerlo todo lento
Si es verdad que el tiempo es oro seremos millonarios
Por tanto alargarlo cuando nos amamos
(No quiero que pase el tiempo cuando estoy contigo)
Por eso todo lo que haces, has lo slow
