YeoJin “Red Hot Chili Summer” Lyrics

Hangul

Red hot chili summer
Ooh-wee-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Red hot chili summer
Red hot chili summer, you and I

햇빛 두 spoon 살짝 얹은 my heart (Ooh, ooh)
발끝에 닿은 파도 even hi high
설렘 터져 boom-boom beat, 모래 위에 glitter shower
하늘 위는 peach and pink, colorful like confetti

내 마음의 한가운데
네가 쏙 들어와서 톡톡 터져

Red hot chili summer, red hot chili summer
여름밤을 녹일 만큼 hotter
Red hot chili summer, red hot chili summer
Boy, you got me burning like a firestarter

Red hot chili summer, red hot chili summer
Hot, hot chili summer
Red hot chili summer, red hot chili summer
You’re my chili summer

짙게 물드는 여름밤은 blue (Blue)
시원해진 바람 next to you (To you)
태양보다 뜨겁게 달아올라 어떡해
얼얼해진 순간에 짜릿함은 입술에

Likе lemonade 한 모금에
두 눈이 질끈 감겨 짜릿해져

Red hot chili summеr, red hot chili summer
여름밤을 녹일 만큼 hotter
Red hot chili summer, red hot chili summer
Girl, you got me burning like a firestarter

Red hot chili summer, red hot chili summer
Hot, hot chili summer
Red hot chili summer, red hot chili summer
You’re my chili summer

Three, 숨 고르고, two, 눈 감은 채
하나 하는 순간 dive to you
One little touch, that’s enough, now you got me burning bright
Red hot chili summer

Red hot chili summer, red hot chili summer
Hot, hot chili summer (You’re my chili, you are my)
Red hot chili summer, red hot chili summer (You are my)
You’re my chili (So hot)

Romanized

Red hot chili summer
Ooh-wee-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Red hot chili summer
Red hot chili summer, you and I

Translation

Red hot chili summer
Ooh-wee-ooh
Ooh-ooh
Red hot chili summer
Red hot chili summer, you and I

My heart, with two spoonfuls of sunlight gently placed on top (Ooh, ooh)
The waves brushing against my tiptoes, even shouting a high “hi”
Fluttering heartbeats bursting—a boom-boom beat, a glitter shower over the sand
Up in the sky, it’s peach and pink, colorful like confetti

Right into the very center of my heart,
You slipped neatly inside and started popping and fizzing away

Red hot chili summer, red hot chili summer
Hot enough to melt the entire summer night—hotter
Red hot chili summer, red hot chili summer
Boy, you got me burning like a firestarter

Red hot chili summer, red hot chili summer
Hot, hot chili summer
Red hot chili summer, red hot chili summer
You’re my chili summer

The deeply stained summer night turns completely blue (Blue)
The breeze growing cool next to you (To you)
Burning up even hotter than the sun, what should I do?
In that moment of numbing heat, a thrilling electricity hits my lips

Like taking a single sip of lemonade,
My eyes squeeze tightly shut as the absolute thrill rushes through me

Red hot chili summer, red hot chili summer
Hot enough to melt the entire summer night—hotter
Red hot chili summer, red hot chili summer
Girl, you got me burning like a firestarter

Red hot chili summer, red hot chili summer
Hot, hot chili summer
Red hot chili summer, red hot chili summer
You’re my chili summer

Three, catching my breath, two, keeping my eyes closed,
The very split second I hit “one”—I dive to you
One little touch, that’s enough, now you got me burning bright
Red hot chili summer

Red hot chili summer, red hot chili summer
Hot, hot chili summer (You’re my chili, you are my)
Red hot chili summer, red hot chili summer (You are my)
You’re my chili (So hot)
