Oh my pumpkin! Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
Excited or surprised emotional sound.

[Verse 1]
Heat radiating from asphalt.
ふくしゃねつ: Heat coming off a surface.
Feels like being toasted in an oven. Pedaling hard on a bike makes him super sweaty, like summer’s heat is chasing him down.

[Verse 2]
Missing someone during summer break feels too long and lonely. So he decides to go to the public pool, hoping to dive in and maybe forget those feelings for a while.

[Pre-Chorus]
Falling in love makes life feel like a sudden summer. It’s overwhelming, and he doesn’t know what to do with all these emotions.

[Chorus]
He spots his crush at the pool and can’t believe his eyes—it’s like seeing a mermaid. She’s his special someone, his “pumpkin.” He wishes she’d look his way, and if possible, they could share even a tiny wave. That simple connection is something he quietly dreams about.

[Verse 3]
Kids are splashing and kicking in the pool. He’s in the middle of it but not acting very grown-up.

[おとなげ]
Acting childishly, not mature.
He’s getting all serious and competitive, really doesn’t want to lose—even to kids.

[Pre-Chorus]
Just being in the water doesn’t cool down his heart. He wants this moment to feel like destiny, something unforgettable.

[Chorus]
He calls her his pumpkin again, feeling like she’s close yet far. His heart’s beating fast, and he’s scared she might notice.

[くる]
She wraps up in a towel and chats with her friends by the poolside. Even though it’s just a coincidence they met here, he feels lucky. It’s a one-sided crush, but he knows someday this will be a memory of the hottest, most special summer.

[Chorus]
Once more, he sees her swimming and feels shocked and amazed, like spotting something magical. He still dreams of her noticing him and sharing a simple wave. That tiny interaction would mean the world. To him, she’s always going to be his special someone—his pumpkin.

[Outro]
Same emotional burst as the start—full of feelings.
