[Verse 1]
As I walk along the asphalt road,
Listening to the noisy buzzing of black cicadas,
A downward sloping path comes into view.
As I head down that slope,
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A white sandy beach and the blue sea
Spread out beneath me.
[Chorus 1]
The seaside on a holiday
Feels like a summer paradise.
Children in swimwear frolic about,
And young women in bikinis
Relax in the shade of the trees.
[Verse 2]
I pass beneath the palm trees,
Walk down the steep steps,
And step onto the sand.
The sun’s reflection is scorching.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I walk with long strides across the soft, white sand.
[Chorus 2]
The seaside on a holiday
Feels like a summer paradise.
Children in swimwear frolic about,
And young women in bikinis
Relax in the shade of the trees.
[Verse 3]
Waves wash up onto the beach,
The water is crystal clear, revealing the bottom.
Further out, children are floating on inner tubes, looking closely.
I see they are foreigners.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
The tide has receded significantly,
Leaving the water’s edge far away.
[Chorus 3]
The seaside on a holiday
Feels like a summer paradise.
Children in swimwear frolic about,
And young women in bikinis
Relax in the shade of the trees.
[Bridge]
I turned 180 degrees and retrace my steps,
Leaving the summer beach behind.
The black cicadas were buzzing noisily.
[Final Chorus]
The seaside on a holiday
Feels like a summer paradise.
Children in swimwear frolic about,
And young women in bikinis
Relax in the shade of the trees.
[Outro]
