Peach Time I Love You
今晩ビビッとナンパをしようぜ Down town boy
実際はまだ困難過ぎて
バーボン握ってダウン×2 さ

安心させるには
姉きが言うにゃ食事はニューオリンズ
肝心なのは今お前の言葉だぜ I Love You

なんでぼくらが生まれたのか
ぜったいきっと女の子なら知ってる
なんでぼくらが泣きだすのか
ぜったいきっと女の子なら知ってる
ほらもうじきさ苦い青春グッドバイ

諸君! 今夜お前の実力をあの娘に見せてやれ

Peach Time I Love You
今晩バシッとダンスをしようぜ Down town boy
絶対にヤダ降参ばっかで
そんで浮かれてダンス×3

愛情示すにはある程度がむしゃらさが重要です
内心負けそうだろ? でも
お前のカウントがなくちゃ 1,2,3

なんでぼくらが生まれたのか
ぜったいきっと女の子なら知ってる
なんでぼくらが泣きだすのか

ぜったいきっと女の子なら知ってる
ほらもうじきさ苦い青春グッドバイ

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to 岡村靖幸's song "Peach Time" talk about enjoying life and romance in a carefree and vibrant way. The song begins by encouraging someone to go out and have a fun night, possibly hitting on someone in the downtown area. However, they acknowledge that it may still be challenging and difficult to actually make a connection. The mention of holding a bourbon suggests a desire to loosen up and let go of inhibitions.

The lyrics then touch on the importance of being reassuring and comforting to someone. They mention that according to the sister's advice, having a meal in New Orleans is a way to put someone's mind at ease. But ultimately, what matters most is the person's words, their declaration of love.

The chorus brings up questions about why we are born and why we start crying, suggesting that girls probably have the answers to those questions. The upcoming bitter youth is mentioned as a goodbye, possibly indicating a farewell to innocence and naivety.

The song continues with a call to action, urging the listener to show their skills to the girl tonight. The second chorus repeats similar themes as the first, emphasizing the importance of expressing love and being bold, even in the face of potential defeat. It ends by counting to three, suggesting readiness to take action and make a move.
