暑中お見舞い申し上げます

まぶたに口づけ　受けてるみたいな
夏の日の太陽は　まぶしくて
キラキラ渚を　今にもあなたが
かけてくる　しぶきにぬれて
なぜかパラソルにつかまり
あなたの街まで飛べそうです
今年の夏は　胸まで熱い
不思議な　不思議な夏です
暑中お見舞い申し上げます

水着を誰かに　見られるだけでも
あなたから　だめだよといわれそう
泳ぎませんかと　誘いにくるけど
振りむかず　ねむったふりよ
はやくあなたに会いたくて
時計をさかさにまわしてます
今年の夏は　心もはずむ
不思議な　不思議な夏です
暑中お見舞い申し上げます

なぜかパラソルにつかまり
あなたの街まで飛べそうです
今年の夏は　胸まで熱い
不思議な　不思議な夏です
暑中お見舞い申し上げます

Shochuu omimai moushiagemasu

Mabuta ni kuchizuke uketeru mitai na
Natsu no hi no taiyou wa mabushikute
Kirakira nagisa wo ima ni mo anata ga
Kaketekuru shibuki ni nurete
Naze ka parasoru ni tsukamari
Anata no machi made tobesou desu
Kotoshi no natsu wa mune made atsui
Fushigi na fushigi na natsu desu
Shochuu omimai moushiagemasu

Mizugi wo dare ka ni mirareru dake demo
Anata kara dame da yo to iwaresou
Oyogi masenka to sasoi ni kuru kedo
Furimukazu nemutta furi yo
Hayaku anata ni aitakute
Tokei wo sakasa ni mawashitemasu
Kotoshi no natsu wa kokoro mo hazumu
Fushigi na fushigi na natsu desu
Shochuu omimai moushiagemasu

Naze ka parasoru ni tsukamari
Anata no machi made tobesou desu
Kotoshi no natsu wa mune made atsui
Fushigi na fushigi na natsu desu
Shochuu omimai moushiagemasu

Translation

A midsummer greeting for you

The sunlight on this summer day is so bright
It feels like it’s kissing my eyelids
You’re running along the sparkling beach right now
Wet from the sea spray
For some reason I feel like
I could grab onto a beach umbrella and fly to your town
Even my heart is hot this summer
It’s a mysterious, mysterious summer
A midsummer greeting for you

I get the feeling you won’t even let
Someone look at my swimsuit
They come and ask if I want to go for a swim
But I don’t look their way, just pretend to be asleep
I wanna see you soon
My watch is going backwards
Even my heart is leaping this summer
It’s a mysterious, mysterious summer
A midsummer greeting for you

For some reason I feel like
I could grab onto a beach umbrella and fly to your town
Even my heart is hot this summer
It’s a mysterious, mysterious summer
A midsummer greeting for you

* It’s a tradition in Japan to send each other shochuu omimai (midsummer greetings) in the height of summer
