Tagalog Lyrics
Aitakatta, gustong makita
Aitakatta, yes!
Aitakatta, gustong makita
Aitakatta, yes!
Ikaw nga
Para akong nagbibisikleta sa pagpidal
Kahit paakyat ay 'di na hihinto
Para kang burol na matarik
Kahit na, basta ang tuktok ay marating
Namimiss na kita
Nasasabik makita
'Di papipigil makasama
Para sa iyo, ako'y di na hihinto
Tatakbo!
Dahil ika'y gusto 'di na ako susuko
Magiging totoo 'di na maitatago
Dahil ika'y gusto 'di na ako susuko
Laman ng puso ko ipapakita na sa'yo
Aitakatta, gustong makita
Aitakatta, yes!
Aitakatta, gustong makita
Aitakatta, yes!
Ikaw nga
Ngayon ay alam mo na nadarama
Ako'y 'di na mahihiya lalapit na
Gusto'y lagi kang nakikita
Sana naman, 'di mo ako ipapahiya
'Di mag-iisip pa
Kung ano ang sasabihin
Salita'y di mahalaga
Basta alam ko'ng tunay na nadarama
Susugod na!
Kahit na sino basta ba aking gusto
'Di mahihiya sa kanya, lalapit na
Kahit na sino basta ba aking gusto
Lalapitan na lahat sasabihin na
Dahil ika'y gusto 'di na ako susuko
Magiging totoo 'di na maitatago
Dahil ika'y gusto 'di na ako susuko
Laman ng puso ko ipapakita na sa'yo
La la la la la...
Aitakatta, gustong makita
Aitakatta, yes!
Aitakatta, gustong makita
Aitakatta, yes!
Ikaw nga

You
I feel like I’m biking while pedaling
Even uphill I won’t stop
You feel like a steep hill
Even so, as long as I reach the top
I already miss you
I’m excited to see you
Nothing will stop me from being with you
For you, I won’t stop anymore
I’ll run!
Because I like you I won’t give up
I’ll be true, I won’t hide it anymore
Because I like you I won’t give up
I’ll show you what’s inside my heart
Aitakatta, I want to see you
Aitakatta, yes!

Now you already know how I feel
I won’t be shy anymore, I’ll come closer
I want to see you all the time
I hope you won’t embarrass me
I won’t think anymore
About what to say
Words don’t matter
As long as I know my true feelings
I’ll charge forward!
Whoever it is, as long as I like them
I won’t be shy with them, I’ll come closer
Whoever it is, as long as I like them
I’ll approach and say everything
Because I like you I won’t give up
I’ll be true, I won’t hide it anymore
Because I like you I won’t give up
I’ll show you what’s inside my heart
La la la la la...

Kamu
Rasanya aku bersepeda sambil mengayuh
Meski menanjak tak akan berhenti
Rasanya seperti bukit yang curam
Meski begitu, asal puncaknya tercapai
Aku sudah merindukanmu
Bersemangat ingin bertemu
Tak ada yang akan menghalangiku untuk bersamamu
Demi kamu, aku tak akan berhenti lagi
Aku akan berlari!
Karena aku suka kamu aku tak akan menyerah
Akan jujur, tak akan kusembunyikan lagi
Karena aku suka kamu aku tak akan menyerah
Isi hatiku akan kutunjukkan padamu
Aitakatta, ingin bertemu

Sekarang kamu sudah tahu apa yang kurasakan
Aku tak akan malu lagi, akan mendekat
Ingin selalu melihatmu
Semoga kamu tak mempermalukanku
Tak akan berpikir lagi
Tentang apa yang akan dikatakan
Kata-kata tak penting
Asal aku tahu perasaan sebenarnya
Akan menyerang!
Siapa pun itu asal aku suka
Tak akan malu padanya, akan mendekat
Siapa pun itu asal aku suka
Akan mendekati dan mengatakan semuanya
Karena aku suka kamu aku tak akan menyerah
Akan jujur, tak akan kusembunyikan lagi
Karena aku suka kamu aku tak akan menyerah
Isi hatiku akan kutunjukkan padamu
La la la la la...
