モテ過ぎちゃっても　イイかしら？

Is it okay if I get a little too popular?

そこから　暗い部屋から

From there, from that dark room

今日晴れだから　外出なよ、ほら

Today’s sunny, so go outside, come on

熱い日射しジリッ！て焼けて

The hot sun is blazing, burning us up!

チラリ　細めた目にsunglasses

Sneaking a glance with narrowed eyes, sunglasses on

氷は口でヒヤッ！て溶けて

Ice melts with a chill in my mouth!

青空高くて

The blue sky is so high

やるじゃない！

You’re doing great!

Hot Summer, Hot Hot, it's summer, you know

Hot Hot Hot Hot Summer, Hot Hot Hot Hot

Hot Hot Hot Hot Summer, Hot Hot Hot Hot
