Like an island's sunshine I'm showered
Today is going to be an extra off day
Like an island's sunshine I'm showered
Somehow feel like being lazy today
Get a beer. I think I need some cheer me up
Make a toast to the fluffy clouds in the sky
Low cure Stressed out
Ringing bell crumble snatching my time
Time to get busy but I won't keep it up
Then tomorrow comes up some like this again!
It makes me dizzy my head swims in the air
Above are the original English lyrics, below is a translation of the translation of the lyrics; a Japanese translation was included, so here's what they meant:
Weather like showering in some island's sunshine
I've got the day off today
Weather like showering in some island's sunshine
Today I don't really feel like doing anything
Guess I'll have a bear and try to change my mood.
Toasting to the clouds floating in the sky.
Poor cure, stressed out
The phone in my room rings
My busy day starts
Tomorrow will be the same things all over
It makes me dizzy
