I'm still trying to figure out how the first word(s) in the song in my signature get translated from "ich bin" to "I'd", since "ich bin" is I am.
Well, have you seen the versatile word "gern(e)" yet? In such expressions as "Ich lerne gerne Deutsch". Which would translate to "I like learning German".

It's a case where a particular sentiment is expressed by a completely different construction. The same with the word "lieber".
