I Like It
Taichi Mukai Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I was 24 あの頃にはもう一層
人とは違う好きがわかってた
時には悩んで縮こまっても
In the pool 飛び込みたいよ

好きなものを
好きと言える今の自分が誇らしい
つまらない理由をつけてた
気分に今サヨナラ!

誰の為でもないから
I like it baby, I like it
何を言われてもいいよ
I like it baby, I like it

Do you wanna play with me? (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
I say I like it, you say I like it
Do you wanna play with me? (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
I say I like it, you say I like it

Just color me blue
未だ消えず燃えてる 満たすことのない欲
時には落ち込んで見失っても
Feel the love 信じられるよ

好きなものを
好きと言えないあの頃の自分はいない
固い殻を破り捨てたら
ほら未来が待ってる!

僕が僕らしくいれる
I like it baby, I like it
君が君を生かしてる
I like it baby, I like it

Do you wanna play with me? (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
I say I like it, you say I like it
Do you wanna play with me? (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
I say I like it, you say I like it

僕が僕として生きる
君を pure に感じられる

誰の為でもないから
I like it baby, I like it
何を言われてもいいよ
I like it baby, I like it

Do you wanna play with me? (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
I say I like it, you say I like it




Do you wanna play with me? (Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
I say I like it, you say I like it

I Like It
English translation

When I was 24, at that time I already knew well
I liked different things than other people
Even pressured by time, and pushed in the corner,
In the pool, I just want to jump

Being able to say I like the things I like
Right now I'm proud to be me
Attaching boring reasons to my actions -
Goodbye to that feeling!

I'm not doing it for anyone else, that's why
I like it baby I like it
They can say whatever they want
I like it baby I like it

Do you wanna play with me?
I say I like it
You say I like it
You say I like it

Just color me blue
This never-satisfied greed
That's still burning on today
Even when time gets me down, and I lose sight of it
Feel the love, I can still believe

Unable to say I like the things I like
The me from that time is gone
If you break out of that hard shell
Look, the future is waiting for you!

I can live in my own way
I like it baby I like it
You're in charge of living your best life
I like it baby I like it

Do you wanna play with me?
I say I like it
You say I like it
You say I like it

I'm going to live as myself
You can feel pure

I'm not doing it for anyone else, that's why
I like it baby I like it
They can say whatever they want
I like it baby I like it

Do you wanna play with me?
I say I like it
You say I like it
You say I like it
