[English]

Really?

Maybe you don't have much experience with the heat

Nope, but sometimes I like to close my eyes

And imagine what it would be like if summer arrived

To buzz, I can blow dandelion seeds

And do what snow does in the summer

Quenching my thirst, resting my snow on the sand

And sunbathing peacefully in the summer

I will see the summer breeze that will drive the snow away

I will know what happens to ice when the sun hits it

I would love to hear what everyone will say about me

Because no one will be as cool in the summer

Ra dabu babababa babu

Intense are the cold and heat

Put them together, that's better

Ratata tata tara barara baru eh

In winter, you have to stay warm

But in summer, I will just be a

Happy snowman!

If something happens, I focus on my dream

Long days under the beautiful sun and let off steam

And touch that blue, and you can do it too

When I finally do what ice does in the summer

I'm going to tell you

Don't even think about it

Summer

...

[Spanish]

¿En serio?

Tal vez no tengas mucha experiencia con el calor

Nop, pero a veces me gusta cerrar mis ojos

E imaginar cómo sería si arribara el verano

A zumbar, dientes de león podré soplar

Y hacer lo que hace la nieve en el verano

Mi sed refrescar, mi nieve en la arena reposar

Y broncearme en calma en el verano

Veré la brisa estival que a la nieve alejará

Sabré lo que pasa al hielo cuando al sol les da

Ya quisiera oír lo que todos dirán de mí

Porque nadie habrá tan fresco en el verano

Ra dabu babababa babu

Intensos son el frío y calor

Póngalos juntos, así es mejor

Ratata tata tara barara baru eh

En el invierno hay que estar abrigado

Más en el verano seré sólo un

¡Muñeco de nieve feliz!

Si algo pasa me concentro en mi ilusión

Largos días bajo el bello sol y soltar vapor

Y tocar ese azul y podrás hacerlo tú

Cuando haga por fin lo que el hielo hace en el verano

Le voy a decir

Ni se te ocurra

Verano
