[English]

Hot, hot, hot, hot summer

Hot, hot, hot, hot

Hot, hot, hot, hot summer

Hot, hot, hot, hot

I absolutely can't stand it like this anymore

I'll have to fix you somehow

You only know old styles

Produce, you'll see how cool you can become

In the classroom

At the office desk

In the uncleaned room

Come out quickly, quickly

Hot rays are pouring down, ouch, it stings

Sunglasses on slightly squinted eyes from the glare

The ice I bit is crunching and numbing my mouth

The sky is so blue, it's transparent

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot summer

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot, it's too hot

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot summer

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot, this is the real taste

Hot, hot, hot, hot summer

Hot, hot, hot, hot

Even if it's not Malibu beach

Did you sprinkle gold dust? The waves are blinding

Dust off your feet and head to the ice cream shop

TV full of gossip is boring

At the Han River

At the blue East Sea

At that water park

Let's have fun quickly

Hot rays are pouring down, ouch, it stings

Sunglasses on slightly squinted eyes from the glare

The ice I bit is crunching and numbing my mouth

The sky is so blue, it's transparent

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot summer

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot, it's too hot

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot summer

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot, this is the real taste

Let's give directions

To the sweating foreigner

If it's too hot

Let's wear black long clothes

Yeah, it must be burning

'Cause I got you sweating in this weather

All them heads be turning

True that, you know I got it

Hot rays are pouring down, ouch, it stings

Sunglasses on slightly squinted eyes from the glare

The ice I bit is crunching and numbing my mouth

The sky is so blue, it's transparent

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot summer

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot, it's too hot

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot summer

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot, this is the real taste

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot summer

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot, it's too hot

Hot, hot, hot, hot summer

Hot, hot, hot, hot summer

Hot, hot, hot, hot summer

Hot, hot, hot, hot

Hot, hot, hot, hot summer

Hot, hot, hot, hot

도저히 이렇겐 더 안 되겠어

내가 어떻게든 좀 손보겠어

낡은 스타일밖에 모르는 널

프로듀스 얼마나 멋져질지, 좀 알겠어

교실에서

사무실 책상에서

청소 안 한 방에서

어서 나와라, 어서

뜨거운 광선 쏟아져, 앗, 따끔해

눈부셔 살짝 찌푸린 눈 선글래스

얼음을 깨문 입 속 와작 얼얼해

하늘은 파랗다 못해, 투명해져

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot summer

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot, 너무 더워

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot summer

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot, 이게 제 맛

Hot, hot, hot, hot summer

Hot, hot, hot, hot

말리부 해변은 아니더라도

금가루 뿌렸니? 눈부셔 파도

발 툭툭 털고 아이스크림 가게로

가십 가득한 TV가 재미없어

한강에서

물 파란 동해에서

저 워터 파크에서

재밌게 놀자 어서

뜨거운 광선 쏟아져, 앗, 따끔해

눈부셔 살짝 찌푸린 눈 선글래스

얼음을 깨문 입 속 와작 얼얼해

하늘은 파랗다 못해, 투명해져

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot summer

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot, 너무 더워

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot summer

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot, 이게 제 맛

땀 흘리는 외국인은

길을 알려주자

너무 더우면

까만 긴 옷 입자

Yeah, it must be burning

'Cause I got you sweating in this weather

All them heads be turning

True that, you know I got it

뜨거운 광선 쏟아져, 앗, 따끔해

눈부셔 살짝 찌푸린 눈 선글래스

얼음을 깨문 입 속 와작 얼얼해

하늘은 파랗다 못해, 투명해져

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot summer

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot, 너무 더워

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot summer

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot, 이게 제 맛

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot summer

Hot summer, ah, hot, hot, 너무 더워

Hot, hot, hot, hot summer

Hot, hot, hot, hot summer
