[English]

Ayy, gyal, you remind me of summer (Oh)

Shine so bright inna club, gyal (Oh)

Why'd I meet you? I wonder

Pretty like di girls on di magazine cover

Gyal, you are di best, tell everybody I love her

Wine ya likkle waist, do di dancehall bubble

Mek me feel mushy, she waan kiss up and cuddle

Anywhere I go out, everybody affi look

Wine up yuh body, gyal, lift up one foot

How di riddim yah so bad? Ayy, Khaled, you ah cook

Tick-tock, gyal, tick-tock that good

Bruk it and set it and bruk it, yuh good

Addi inna yuh ears, straight vibes inna yuh mouth

Dis ya forever, our love can't run out

Anytime yuh have any doubt

While di sand dominoes, I'm out

You remind me
