“I like it”: text and meaning of the amo to the joy of living by Alfa and Manu Chao

The recent collaboration between Alfa, a young promise of Italian music, and Manu Chao, an icon of World Music, gave life to “I like it”, a song that celebrates with freshness and spontaneity the small joys of life and authentic feelings.

The song stands out for its ability to intertwine two apparently distant musical worlds. On the one hand we find the young and direct style of Alfa, with his colloquial Italian and his reflections on everyday life; On the other, the colorful international influence of Manu Chao, which brings its unmistakable Latin touch and its contagious energy.

The title itself, “I like it”, perfectly represents the essence of the song: a grammatically incorrect but emotionally authentic expression, which becomes a declaration of intent. The artists deliberately choose to express themselves spontaneously, favoring the truth of feeling with respect to the form.

Through vivid images of Mediterranean places, daily moments and universal sensations, the song creates a sunny atmosphere that transports the listener to an emotional journey between Italy and Spain. The bilingualism of the text, with the refrain that resumes the famous “Me Gustas Tu” of Manu Chao, strengthens this cultural fusion.

What emerges is a message of positivity and love for life in all its facets, from the simplest to the deepest, told in a direct language that speaks to the heart of anyone who has ever found beauty in the little things and imperfections of everyday life.

Qué horas son, mi corazón?
Manu, how does my friend do?
(To me) I like the sun warming up
And the skin changes it to me
Your back that is in Archae
And it seems to me southern Italy
I love French noses and kisses to the ASCIMEse
I invent the words when I sing an English piece
I like to tell me I like it even if it is not said
However it makes the idea much more effective way
I love ge with the sea rough
Coffee with red wine
When it is September 1st and it looks like 32 in August
Eh!

You are light in the morning
Me gustas you
My serotonin
Me gustas you
Make me raise self -esteem
Me gustas tu, me gustas tu, me gustas you
More than the Mediterranean Sea
Me gustas you
One Sunday at the stadium
Me gustas you
I have everything you need with you
Me gustas you, yes me gustas you, me gustas you
Why
You are like Rome
Each path brings from you
Yes, it takes me to you

I was thinking, if I sleep 8 hours a day, it’s 100 days in a year
But I was here with me we would not sleep so much, yes so much, yes so much
With head down while I was walking
I realized yesterday that the sky starts from the feet
That things change shape based on how you see them
I like it that matches the energy
And even if I go away you take me everywhere a bit like Radio Maria

You are light in the morning
Me gustas you
My serotonin
Me gustas you
Make me raise self -esteem
Me gustas tu, me gustas tu, me gustas you
More than the Mediterranean Sea
Me gustas you
One Sunday at the stadium
Me gustas you
Everything else is secondary
Me gustas you, yes me gustas you, me gustas you
Why
You are like Rome
Each path brings from you
Yes, it takes me to you

That intense life
It is our big heart
Que falta por la calle
A dos tres cuatro

You are light in the morning
Me gustas you
My serotonin
Me gustas you
Make me raise self -esteem
Me gustas tu, me gustas tu, me gustas you
More than Genoa and Bilbao

Of a concert that is sold out
Me gustas you
More than Alfa and Manu Chao
Me gustas you, yes me gustas you, me gustas you
Why
