[English]

This is what you wanna do man

Throw it up in the air

The sea breeze is blowing wah ah ah ah ah ah ah baby

I hear the sound of waves wah ah ah ah ah ah ah wave yeah

Through the wave, surfing

wow wow wow wow wow

We gon sing it la la la la la

Ride on the wave and fly away baby

I’ve been working nonstop and it’s hot outside

Always saying I’m fine but it’s just a lie

All my sweat like tears dripping til it’s gone

I got 99 problems but the sea ain’t one

I’ma go out healing

Getting cleansed by the sea breeze

I can’t let go of this feeling

Can yah teach me how to live life fully

Go ahead and pinch your cheek

It’s not a dream, don’t worry

Rub your sleepy eyes wake up wake up

Boost your energy way up way up

Higher and higher, overheated bodies

Throw it up in the air

The sea breeze is blowing wah ah ah ah ah ah ah baby

I hear the sound of waves wah ah ah ah ah ah ah wave yeah

Through the wave, surfing

wow wow wow wow wow

We gon sing it la la la la la

Ride on the wave and fly away baby

Just like my laptop, my head is overheated yeah

On a hot summer day, taking a walk doesn’t do a thing for me

Sun, take a step back and only melt my stress away

Ice cream I just bought

I didn’t even finish half of it, but it’s melting in my hand

Go ahead and pinch your cheek

It’s not a dream, don’t worry

Rub your sleepy eyes wake up wake up

Boost your energy way up way up

Higher and higher, overheated bodies

Throw it up in the air

The sea breeze is blowing wah ah ah ah ah ah ah baby

I hear the sound of waves wah ah ah ah ah ah ah wave yeah

Through the wave, surfing

wow wow wow wow wow

We gon sing it la la la la la

Ride on the wave and fly away baby

The sun is going down

The sunset glow is spreading out

I want to stay a little longer

This might be the last time

The desert I walked down has now turned to a sea

Before this night is over, just enjoy we go

Throw it up in the air

The sea breeze is blowing wah ah ah ah ah ah ah baby

I hear the sound of waves wah ah ah ah ah ah ah wave yeah

Through the wave, surfing

wow wow wow wow wow

We gon sing it la la la la la

Ride on the wave and fly away baby
