[English]

Fever!! Let's dance!! It's Blazing Summer!!

Fever!! Let's dance!! It's Blazing Summer Time!!

Is the party ready to go?

A glass in hand, let's toast! (Toast!)

Fooling around here and there

Why not just enjoy the chaos?

The sound of waves becomes our rhythm, smiles spilling over in this moment

Let's seize this moment, go all out and play

Hey, let's dance in this blazing summer

At the water's edge, Paradise

Suddenly, everyone's getting escorted

Eternal summer bursts open, Summer time!!

Fever!! Let's dance!! It's Blazing Summer!!

Fever!! Let's dance!! It's Blazing Summer Time!!

Drenched in sunshine, ocean glowing bright

Barbecue by a sandcastle (Barbecue!)

Speakers cranked up to the max

Why not just ride this carefree high?

Even though we haven't met in ages, it feels like no time passed

Because that endless summer from back then is still here

Let's chase more thrills, get wild!

With glistening sweat as our signal

Suddenly, everyone's in serious mode

Going all out in Wonderland

Countless paths stretching out ahead

Our exchanged miracles feel so precious

It's hard to say goodbye, but…

How about one last drink!?

Fever!! Let's dance!! It's Blazing Summer!!×3

Fever!! Let's dance!! It's Blazing Summer Time!!

Sunset sinks on the horizon, filled with emotion

Somehow tears start to fall, it's so lonely

Guess it's time we head out now

Hey, let's dance in this blazing summer

At the water's edge, Paradise

Another summer well spent, so bye-bye for now

Let's keep this journey moving on

See you again! The ultimate Summer time!!

Fever!! Let's dance!! It's Blazing Summer!!×4

Fever!! Let's dance!! Blazing Summer Time!!
