[English]

Hey, girls

Do you know what time it is?

It must be party time

Here we go

This is summer, turn on the radio now

Favorite song playing loud (hey, turn it up)

Follow the hot rhythm and drive (ah, ah)

Into the dazzling summer, oh, oh

Following the wind beyond the window

Now, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Singing, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Raise your voice, louder and louder

Run with the sound of the waves, here we go

We can't stop, stop, stop, it's party time

Keep going like this, party time (it's a party)

We gon' rock, rock, rock, feeling so excited

Tonight (P-P-A-R-T-Y, P-P-P-P-A-R-T-Y, P-P-P-P)

Lemon, soju, tequila, and mojito

Let's go to Jeju, California, all the way to Rome

Beautiful waves with white pearls in the sea

Finito (P-P-A-R-T-Y, P-P-P-P-A-R-T-Y, P-P-P-P)

We love summer, rushing onward

Forget everything from yesterday (hey, turn it up)

The blue sky is truly perfect (ah, ah)

The water blooms above the surface, oh, oh

Before the splendid summer passes by

Together, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Singing, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

My excited heart is higher and higher

Come on, raise your glass, here we go

We can't stop, stop, stop, it's party time

Keep going like this, party time (it's a party)

We gon' rock, rock, rock, feeling so excited

Tonight (P-P-A-R-T-Y, P-P-P-P-A-R-T-Y, P-P-P-P)

Lemon, soju, tequila, and mojito

Let's go to Jeju, California, all the way to Rome

Beautiful waves with white pearls in the sea

Finito (P-P-A-R-T-Y, P-P-P-P-A-R-T-Y, P-P-P-P)

Sunrise calls us (sunrise)

Even if it finds us, we can't stop

The party keeps going

Go on and on all night long

We can't stop, stop, stop, it's party time

Keep going like this, party time (it's a party)

We gon' rock, rock, rock, feeling so excited

Tonight (P-P-A-R-T-Y, P-P-P-P-A-R-T-Y, P-P-P-P)
