[English]

OH, IT’S THE SEASON OF LOVE...

WOW WOW WOW

RESPECT & LOVE

Sun’s diamond dust, ride on time in summer

On the flip side, with a naked heart

Let’s twist and shout, no one can stop us

Hot rhythm, I’m so into you

Open the convertible door, I’ll take you to the sea

Jump out of the city, do some digital detox

Going to catch that profile of yours

Time... the hourglass started running Pretty babe, sweetest baby

Shine... this love will make everything shine in a moment

Sun’s diamond dust, ride on time in summer

On the flip side, with a naked heart

Let’s twist and shout, no one can stop us

Hot rhythm, I’m so into you

Samara-la, samara-la, yeah

Samara-la, samara-la, oh

Samara-la, samara-la, yeah

Let’s make it last forever

Samara-la, samara-la, yeah

Samara-la, samara-la

I'm so into you, I’m at my wit’s end

Once I take off my white shirt...

[Japanese]

OH IT’S THE SEASON OF LOVE...

WOW WOW WOW

RESPECT & LOVE

太陽のDIAMOND DUST 夏にRIDE ON TIME

逆にこの際、ヌードな心で

LET’S TWIST & SHOUT 誰にも止められない

暑いリズム I’M SO INTO YOU

カブリオレ ドアを開けて 海までエスコートするよ

都市(まち)を飛び出して デジタルデトックスして

その横顔 射止めに行くのさ

TIME... 走り出した砂時計 PRETTY BABE, SWEETEST BABY

SHINE... この恋が輝かせる 一瞬ですべてを

太陽のDIAMOND DUST 夏にRIDE ON TIME

逆にこの際、ヌードな心で

LET’S TWIST & SHOUT 誰にも止められない

暑いリズム I’M SO INTO YOU

サマラバ サマラバ YEAH

サマラバ サマラバ OHHH

サマラバ サマラバ YEAH

サマラバ サマラバ

お手上げなほど I’M SO INTO YOU

白いシャツを脱いだら...
