Oh my pumpkin! Lyrics (English Translation) – AKB48

[Intro]
Ah, ah, ah, aw!

[Verse 1]
Radiant heat rising from the asphalt
Feels like I’m being toasted in a toaster
Pedaling my bike as hard as I can
Sweat just won’t stop (Woah, woah, woah, woah)

[Verse 2]
This summer vacation is way too long
Not being able to see you is the worst

Maybe I’ll head to the public pool
I just want to dive right in with a splash

[Pre-Chorus]
Falling in love with someone
Is like suddenly stepping into midsummer
What am I supposed to do with these feelings?

[Chorus]
Oh, my pumpkin! There you are
My pumpkin!
No way—you’re swimming here?
Like spotting a mermaid by sheer chance
I was frozen in surprise
Oh, my pumpkin! My beloved one
Please look this way
If only, even just for a moment
We could quietly wave at each other
That’s the kind of dream I’m having

[Verse 3]
Kids are splashing around
Flutter kicking with all they’ve got
I, being childish,
Can’t help but take it seriously—

No way I’m losing

[Pre-Chorus]
Just being in the water
Won’t cool down this burning feeling
Let’s turn this encounter into a miracle

[Chorus]
You’re my pumpkin! So close yet so far
You’re my pumpkin!
My pounding heart—what if you notice?
Wrapped up in a towel with your friends
Chatting by the poolside
You’re my pumpkin! My secret crush
Just seeing you here makes me happy
Someday, I’ll look back on today
The hottest summer of all

[Chorus]
Oh, my pumpkin! There you are
My pumpkin!
No way—you’re swimming here?
Like spotting a mermaid by sheer chance
I was frozen in surprise
Oh, my pumpkin! My beloved one
Please look this way
If only, even just for a moment
We could quietly wave at each other
That’s the kind of dream I’m having
You are my pumpkin

[Outro]
(Ah, ah, ah, aw!)
