Yuika - Suki Dakara (Because I Like You) Lyrics + Translation

Japanese Lyrics 

Kakkoii kara suki nan janai
suki dakara kakko iin da yo
Dareka ni baka ni saretemo nantomo nai
Datte watashi no hero

Itsumo nemuii to iu kuse ni
Jugyou wa okiteiru toko toka
Minna no mae de wa kuuru nanoni
Inu no mae de wa deredere na toko toka

Aa hontou ni aishiteyamanai anata no koto
Watashi dake no hero ni natte yo

LINE datte shiteitai shi
Issho ni kaettarishitai yo
Houkago bukatsu ni iku anata ni
“Mata ne” tte hitorigoto

Yasumi no hi datte aitai shi
Neochi denwa mo shitemitai kedo
Sonna yuuki wa chittomo nakute
Akireru naa

Furimuite hoshikute
Ishiki shite hoshikute
Kousui wo tsukete
Hitori de musete

Anata ga hoshikute
anata no mono ni naritakute
“Ashita koso wa” tte
Beddo no ue ni simulation
Anata wo kangaenagara 
Mata ashita

Kawaii kara suki nan janai
Suki dakara kawaiin da yo
Dareka ni baka ni saretemo nantomo nai
Datte boku no heroine

Kyou koso okiru tte iu kuse ni
Kekkyoku jugyou de neru toko toka
Minna no mae de wa otenba nanoni
Angai namida moroi toko toka

Aa hontou ni aishiteyamanai kimi no koto
Boku dake no heroine ni naranai ka na

Benkyou toka oshiete agetai shi
Issho ni eiga toka mi ni ikitai yo
Houkago tomodachi to warau kimi ni 
“Bai bai” tte hitorigoto

Kimi no story ni noritai shi
Ore no kanojo jiman mo shitemitai kedo
Kokuhaku nanka dekisou ni nakute
Akireru na

Furimuite hoshikute
Ishiki shite hoshikute
Wakkusu wo tsukete
Betobeto ni nacchatte

Kimi ga hoshikute
Kimi no mono ni naritakute
“Ashita koso wa” tte
Futon no naka de simulation
Kimi wo kangaenagara
mata ashita

Anata ni anata no soudan wo shitanda
Kimi ga otoko no soudan wo shitekitanda
Yametoke nante iwanai de yo
Hoka no otoko ni nante iku na yo
Zutto zutto miteite yo

Furimuite hoshikute
Ishiki shite hoshikute
Zutto tonari ni itekuremasenka
Anata ga suki nano
Kimi wo itoshiku omou yo

“Ashita koso wa” tte
Kyou mo simulation
Kimi to no koi wa
Amai masuku no kaori ga shitanda


English Translation

I don’t like you because you’re cool
You’ re cool because I like you
Even if others make fun of you, I don’t care
You’re my hero

You always say “I’m sleepy”
But you wake up in time for classes
You act cool in front of everyone
But you’re all lovey-dovey in front of dogs

Ah, I’m really so madly in love with you
Please be my one and only hero

I want to send you a Line
Invite you to go home together
As you're leaving for after school club,
I say “see you” to myself

I want to see you even on days off
And fall asleep while on the phone with you
I have not even a bit of courage for that
It’s really tiring

I want you turn around
I want you to notice me
I try wearing perfume
and ended up suffocating alone

I want you
I want to be yours
“Tomorrow will be it”
I did a simulation on my bed
While thinking of you
See you tomorrow

I don’t like you because you’re cute
You’re cute because I like you
Even if others make fun of you, I don’t care
You’re my heroine

You always say “I’m staying awake today!”
But in the end you fall asleep in class
You act tin front of everyone
But you’re surprisingly a crybaby

Ah, I’m really so madly in love with you
I wonder if you’ll be my one and only heroine

I want to teach you when studying 
And invite you to see a movie together
As you're laughing with friends after class,
I say “Bye bye” to myself

I want to appear in your stories
Want to brag “It’s my girlfriend” too but
I can’t seem to confess my feelings
It’s so tiring

I want you to turn around
I want you to notice me
I tried putting on wax
and ended up getting sticky all over

I want you
I want to be yours
“Tomorrow will be it”
I did a simulation in my futon
While thinking of you
See you tomorrow

I came to you with concerns about you
You came to me with concerns about boys
Please don’t tell me “just give up”
Please don’t go to another boy
I’ve always been looking at you

I want you to turn around
I want you to notice me
Would you be by my side always?
I really like you
I think of you fondly

“Tomorrow will be it”
Today is another simulation
My love with you

Smells sweet like musk
