Ayy, dance it, dance it
Verse 1
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what will happen
Your body facing the sea
Mixing sand with salt
But I know, I know, I know that it's not normal
What can happen
If you let me in
Prechorus 1
I have what you're looking for
It heats up so much that it scares
You know what you like
You like it, you like it
Setting the floor on fire
Painting stars in the sky
And I'll tell you what I want
Chorus 1
If you stay with me
Dancing all night long
Nice and close to me
To the rhythm of love and wild abandon
Whatever you ask, I'll do
Wherever you go, I'll be there
All night long, I'll give you calypso
I'll give you calypso
One, two, three, calypso
One, two, three, calypso
(French)
I'll give you calypso
One, two, three, calypso
One, two, three, calypso
(French)
I'll give you calypso
One, two, three, she looks good
Verse 2
With a little bit of that rum in your mouth
Make it strong enough to drive you crazy
That look of yours doesn't lie
One, two, three, she looks good
Prechorus 2
I have what you're looking for
It heats up so much that it scares
And you know what you like
You like it, you like it
Setting the floor on fire
Painting stars in the sky
And I'll tell you what I want
Chorus 2
If you stay with me
Dancing all night long
Nice and close to me
To the rhythm of love and wild abandon
Whatever you ask, I'll do
Wherever you go, I'll be there
All night long, I'll give you calypso
If you stay with me
Dancing for me until tomorrow
We run the risk
Of waking up in my bed
Whatever you ask, I'll do
Wherever you go, I'll be there
All night long, I'll give you calypso
I'll give you calypso
One, two, three, calypso
One, two, three, calypso
(French)
I'll give you calypso
One, two, three, calypso
One, two, three, calypso
(French)
I'll give you calypso
One, two, three, calypso
One, two, three, calypso
(French)
I'll give you calypso

derrocheextravagance / excess

Derroche literally translates to "waste" or "squandering". However, in the context of this upbeat party song, it takes on a much more positive meaning of "extravagance", "splendor", or "excess".

Luis Fonsi sings about dancing "al ritmo de amor y derroche" (to the rhythm of love and extravagance). It describes a night of uninhibited celebration and passion, where you live lavishly in the moment without holding back. It's a fantastic word that perfectly captures the song's fun, carefree vibe.

Luis Fonsi is back with another global party starter! "Calypso" is all about a hot, spontaneous connection on a beach. Fonsi spots someone and knows something special is about to happen, singing, "Yo no sé, no sé, no sé qué pasará / Tu cuerpo frente al mar" (I don't know, don't know, don't know what will happen / Your body in front of the sea). He promises a wild night of dancing so close they'll be "Pintando estrellas en el cielo" (Painting stars in the sky).

This isn't just a slow dance, though. The song is a promise of fun and letting go, with Fonsi offering "amor y derroche" (love and extravagance). Stefflon Don jumps in with total confidence, telling the DJ to turn it up and making it clear she's in charge of the vibe. The song counts us into the party in Spanish, French, and English, inviting everyone to join. It's a straightforward, fun track about the thrill of meeting someone new and dancing until the sun comes up... and maybe even longer, as Fonsi suggests they might run the risk "De despertar en mi cama" (Of waking up in my bed).
