[English]

Feet in the sand

Cancel your plans

We only got one life

Let's live it while we can

Don't be afraid

Let's ride the wave

And if you fall I promise I'ma keep you safe

Don't let go, don't let go

Even when the seasons change

I won't let go, won't let go

Tell me that you feel the same

Do you remember how I stayed awake

Watchin' the sun come up to light your face?

In the summer, in the summer

Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah

Do you remember how I held you close

And I made sure you never got too cold?

In the summer, in the summer

Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah

Keepin' our dreams and hopes up high

Baby let's dance tonight

Reachin' up to the sky

Keepin' our hearts alive

In the summer, in the summer

Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

...

In the summer, oh-oh-oh-oh

見つめて 引き寄せる

Keep living in the moment, that's what it's about

呼吸の音(ね)も too close

Life is beautiful キミとだから I gotta make you laugh then-

Always know (Oh), always know (Yeah)

My feelings, they won't ever fade

And even when the rain

Turns to snow

We will always be the same

肌と肌 触れ million kisses

これ以上ない a season's tale

In the summer, in the summer

Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah

二人 溶けて行く hottest temp

捉えようのない 愛しさへ

In the summer, in the summer

Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah

蒸発しそうな 雫を

冷ます この sea tide

何もかもが fine

酔いしれたい all times

In the summer, in the summer

Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh-oh

In the summer, oh, oh-oh

Right by your side

Yeah you know that I ain't gonna leave

So keep your dreams and hopes forever

Sparks in your eyes and it hits me so hard, it's unreal

'Cause we were meant to be together

Do you remember how I stayed awake

Watchin' the sun come up to light your face?

In the summer (In the summer), in the summer (In the summer)

Oh-oh-oh-oh, (Yeah ah ah ah) yeah

Do you remember how I held you close

And I made sure you never got too cold?

In the summer, in the summer

Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah

Keepin' our dreams and hopes up high

Baby, let's dance tonight

Reachin' up to the sky

Keepin' our hearts alive

In the summer, in the summer

Oh-oh-oh-oh, yeah, yeah, yea

Oh, oh, oh, oh (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

In the summer

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh (Oh oh)

Oh, oh, oh, oh

In the summer, oh, oh, oh
