Japanese
蝉の鳴く声響き渡る (semi no naku koe hibiki wataru)
夏の夕暮れ茜空 (natsu no yuugure akanesora)
気持ち高ぶる祭囃子 (kimochi takaburu matsuri-bayashi)
駆け出す兵児帯黄金色 (kakedasu heko'obi koganeiro)
響く笛ぴーひゃら 緋色のちょうちんキラキラ (hibiku fue pihyara hiiro no chouchin kirakira)
見上げる櫓夜空に星花火 (miageru yagura yozora ni hoshi-hanabi)
浴衣姿がふわり 甘い綿飴の香り (yukata sugata ga fuwari amai wata'ame no kaori)
君の呼ぶ声が眩しいよ (kimi no yobu koe ga mabushii yo)
ひらり法被羽織って 帯紐しめて (hirari happi haotte obi-himo shimete)
ギュッと喧嘩結び 粋なやつ (gyutto kenka musubi ikina yatsu)
ハチマキ捻って バチを握って (hachimaki nejitte bachi o nigitte)
高鳴る鈴の音 わっしょいわっしょい (takanaru suzu no ne wasshoi-wasshoi)
憧れの君と 目と目を合わせ (akogare no kimi to me to me o awase)
ドンドンドン みんなでドドンがドン (don-don-don minna de do-don ga don)
重なる鼓動とリズムが (kasanaru kodou to rizumu ga)
ピッタリ そうバッチリ (pittari sou batchiri)
夢に見た君と 手と手を繋いで (yume ni mita kimi to te to te o tsunaide)
ゴーゴーゴー ゴーゴータイム (go-go-go go-go time)
夏めく二人の距離は (natsumeku futari no kyori wa)
心ときめき 夜風に揺れる (kokoro tokimeki yokaze ni yureru)
ドンドンツクドン ドンドコドン (don-don tsuku-don don-dokodon)
テケレケツクドコ ドンドンポーピーポー (teke-reke tsuku-doko don-don-po-pi-po)
ドンツクドンツク ドコスコドン (don-tsuku don-tsuku doko-suko-don)
テケツクドコドコ ドンドンポーピーポー (teke-tsuku doko-doko don-don-po-pi-po)
今宵こそ 夜空に打ち上げて (koyoi koso yozora ni uchi-agete)
憧れの君と 目と目を合わせ (akogare no kimi to me to me o awase)
ドンドンドン みんなでドドンがドン (don-don-don minna de do-don ga don)
重なる鼓動とリズムが (kasanaru kodou to rizumu ga)

ゴーゴーゴー ゴーゴータイム (go-go-go go-go time)
夏めく二人の距離は (natsumeku futari no kyori wa)
心ときめき 夜空に光る (kokoro tokimeki yozora ni hikaru)
English translation
The cicada's chirps reverberate
Across the madder-red skies of a summer evening
The festival bands running high in spirits
With golden waist bands running off in tail
The resounding flute goes toodle-toot, the scarlet lanterns glistening
Look up from the festival tower for a sky of glittering fireworks
The gentle dress of yukata and the sweet scent of cotton candy
Your chanting calls are so radiant
Gently donning the happi coats and tying the obi-himo knot
Tightly squeezed among the hustle, that dapper fellow
A twist on the hachimaki headband, bachi sticks in hand
As the bell chimes run high, heave‐ho, heave‐ho
Looking eye-to-eye with you whom I have been longing
Don-don-don, everybody goes do-don-ga-don
The overlapping heartbeat and rhythm are
Just so precise, yeah, so perfect
Connecting hand-in-hand with you whom I see in dreams
Go-go-go, Go-go Time
As it grows summerly, the distance between us two
Sets my heart throbbing and swaying in the nightly winds
(kuchi-shouga)
Don-don tsuku-don don-dokodon
Teke-reke tsuku-doko don-don-po-pi-po
Don-tsuku don-tsuku doko-suko-don
Teke-tsuku doko-doko don-don-po-pi-po
Tonight's the night to shoot them up into the skies
Looking eye-to-eye with you whom I have been longing
Don-don-don, everybody goes do-don-ga-don
The overlapping heartbeat and rhythm are
Just so precise, yeah, so perfect
Connecting hand-in-hand with you whom I see in dreams
Go-go-go, Go-go Time
As it grows summerly, the distance between us two
Sets my heart throbbing and shimmering in the night sky
