青空と砂浜が　恥ずかしがらなくても良いよと 誘ってる

Tシャツを脱ごうとする　君から視線 慌ててそらす

パラソルの下で 日焼け止め　塗ってる

君がいつもより 大人に見えて 喉が渇いた

真夏のセツナの トキメキ感じてたい

波打ち際 走る君を　びしょ濡れで追いかけて

一瞬　振り返った 君のはじける笑顔が

ボクを焦がして　頭カラッポになってゆくよ

今夜もし　流れ星　みつけらたら君は何を願うの？

言いかけて　やめたボクを　君は”変なの”って首かしげた

カモメの嗚き声　楽しげに響く

理屈じゃないんだ　鈍感な君も嫌いじゃないよ

真夏のセツナの トキメキ感じてたい

潮の風が　身体中を　撫でながら吹き抜ける

絶対かからないと　鼻で笑った　夏の魔法

ボクもまさかね　君にかけられてしまったの？

砂に書いた文字みたいに

ざわめくこの気持ちも　消えちゃうの？

Ah　君って　まつ毛長いんだね　輝いているよ

真夏のセツナの トキメキ感じてたい

波打ち際 走る君を　びしょ濡れで追いかけて

一瞬　振り返った 君のはじける笑顔が

ボクを焦がして　頭カラッポになってゆくよ

Aozora to sunahama ga hazukashigaranakute mo ii yo to sasotteru

T shatsu wo nugou to suru kimi kara shisen awatete sorasu

Parasoru no shita de hiyakedome nutteru

Kimi ga itsu mo yori otona ni miete nodo ga kawaita

Manatsu no setsuna no tokimeki kanjitetai

Namiuchigiwa hashiru kimi wo bishonure de oikakete

Isshun furikaetta kimi no hajikeru egao ga

Boku wo kogashite atama karappo ni natte yuku yo

Konya moshi nagareboshi mitsukeraretara kimi wa nani wo negau no?

Iikakete yameta boku wo kimi wa "hen na no" tte kubi kashigeta

Kamome no nakigoe tanoshige ni hibiku

Rikutsu janainda donkan na kimi mo kirai janai yo

Manatsu no setsuna no tokimeki kanjitetai

Shio no kaze ga karadajuu wo nadenagara fukinukeru

Zettai kakaranai to hana de waratta natsu no mahou

Boku mo masaka ne kimi ni kakerarete shimatta no?

Suna ni kaita moji mitai ni

Zawameku kono kimochi mo kiechau no?

Ah kimi tte matsuge nagainda ne kagayaiteru yo

Manatsu no setsuna no tokimeki kanjitetai

Namiuchigiwa hashiru kimi wo bishonure de oikakete

Isshun furikaetta kimi no hajikeru egao ga

Boku wo kogashite atama karappo ni natte yuku yo

The blue sky and the sandy beach are tempting me, saying that I don't have to be shy.

You are about to take off your T-shirt, so I turn away my gaze quickly.

We are putting sunscreen on under the parasol.

You look more mature than usual, it made me thirsty.

I want to feel the excitement from the moments in midsummer.

You are running by the seashore so I chase after you, soaking wet.

For a second, you turned around and flashed out a smile.

It burned me and my mind becomes empty.

If we see a shooting star tonight, what would you wish for?

I was about to ask you that but stopped myself, then you looked at me, saying "You are acting strange."

The cries of seagulls, sounds like they're having fun.

I know this is illogical, but I don't dislike the clueless you.

I want to feel the excitement from the moments in midsummer.

The seabreeze is blowing and caresses through our bodies.

I sneer at the summer magic, thinking that it won't work on me.

Could it be that I am being put under a spell cast by you?

Like the words written on the sand

Will these unsettling feelings fade away?

Ah, your eyelashes are so long, they're shining.

I want to feel the excitement from the moments in midsummer.

You are running by the seashore so I chase after you, soaking wet.

For a second, you turned around and flashed out a smile.

It burned me and my mind becomes empty.
