Lyrics (translated from inuktitut) :
 
Slayvz Auyaq - Summer Summer!

The sun shines on you day and night! 
People are outside walking around because the summer's about waking around! 
Youngsters are enjoying the scenery! 
Because summer's about enjoying the view! We break a few laws in the summer night! 
Because there are few rules in the summer night! (Lead guitar) 
I hop in the boat!
So we can go hunt some ringed seals! 
Nunavut...! Is really beautiful...!!! 
I'm starting to feel excited!! We see a seal right in front of us....
My buddy grabs the Rifle! 
He shoots the seal! Just one shot!!! 
Summer is very beautiful! The best scenery is in the summer!
The sun shining on you 24/7! 
Everyone is outside! Walking around...
We go boating in the summer...
Hunting seals Narwhal hunting! Wanting soul food! 
Really enjoying the scenery! 
We go camping for awhile! Summer! (Lead guitar)
We really enjoy summer! 
Everyone does! 
Summer ! Summer ! Summer!!!!!!!
