[English]

(Red-Red-Red flavor, so curious, honey)

(Red-Red-Red flavor, so curious, honey)

(Red-Red-Red flavor, so curious, honey)

(My favorite is the taste of summer)

I want to doze under the shade of a palm tree

The hot summer night breeze is blowing

Falling in love so easily, just nineteen

We match pretty well and look cool together

Like it, I fell for you at first sight

You keep thinking of me

I’ll go my own way

Red-Red-Red flavor, so curious, honey

Bite into it, and the strawberry flavor melts away

Look for the corner candy shop, baby

My favorite is the taste of summer, yeah

...

My favorite is the taste of summer, yeah

...

My favorite is the taste of summer

Red-Red-Red flavor, so curious, honey

Bite into it, and the strawberry flavor melts away

Look for the corner candy shop, baby

My favorite is the taste of summer

(Red-Red-Red flavor, so curious, honey)

(Bite into it, and the strawberry flavor melts away)

(Look for the corner candy shop, baby)

(My favorite is the taste of summer)

Open seven rainbow-colored doors

Your world is thrilling and cool (mmm)

Your love’s color, brighter than the sun

I want to have it, do it my way

Look at me, what are you thinking?

What can I do today?

Imagining freely in my mind

Red-Red-Red flavor, so curious, honey (yeah)

Bite into it, and the strawberry flavor melts away

Look for the corner candy shop (yeah, hey, hey), baby

My favorite is the taste of summer, yeah

...

Red-Red-Red flavor, so curious, honey
