TV version:

Kanji

麦わら帽子は もう消えた
たんぼの蛙は もう消えた
それでも待ってる 夏休み

姉さん先生 もういない
きれいな先生 もういない
それでも待ってる 夏休み

絵日記つけてた 夏休み
花火を買ってた 夏休み
指おり待ってた 夏休み

畑のとんぼは どこ行った
あの時逃がして あげたのに
ひとりで待ってた 夏休み

西瓜を食べてた 夏休み
水まきしたっけ 夏休み
ひまわり 夕立 せみの声

Romaji

Mugiwara boushi wa mou kieta
Tanbo no kaeru wa mou kieta
Sore demo matteru natsu yasumi

Neesan sensei mou inai
Kirei na sensei mou inai
Sore demo matteru natsu yasumi

Enikki tsuketeta natsu yasumi
Hanabi wo katteta natsu yasumi
Yubi ori matteta natsu yasumi

Hatake no tonbo wa doko itta
Ano toki nigashite ageta no ni
Hitori de matteta natsu yasumi

Suika wo tabeta natsu yasumi
Mizumaki shitakke natsu yasumi
Himawari yuudachi semi no koe

Translation

My straw hat has long since disappeared
The frogs in the rice paddy have long since disappeared
But still I wait for summer vacation

That young teacher's long since gone
That pretty teacher's long since gone
But still I wait for summer vacation

Summer vacation when I drew in my picture diary
Summer vacation when I bought fireworks
Counting down the days for summer vacation

Where did the dragonfly in the rice paddy go?
I let him get away that once
Waiting all alone for summer vacation

Summer vacation when I ate watermelon
Summer vacation, think I played in the sprinklers
Sunflowers, sunset, the sound of cicadas
