So is this a Christmas song? The Korean title is “A Summer’s Christmas” – so I guess so? Well I listen to it anytime, even though I normally won’t play any Christmas songs out of season.

Lyrics

[레드벨벳 “한 여름의 크리스마스” 가사]

[Intro]
(When I’m with you)
(When I’m with you)
Ah
Ah-ah

[Verse 1]
하얀 모래 위에 우리 둘
꼭 마치 눈이 덮인 풍경 같아
눈부신 태양 아래 그을린
빨간 코끝이 루돌프 같아 (Hoo!)

[Chorus]
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
한 여름 속에
크리스마스 같아
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
기다려왔던
선물들 같아

[Verse 2]
Yeah
네가 찰랑찰랑 내 맘에 차올라
너란 파도에 오른 요트 같아
달린 기분 상쾌도 하다
이 설레임 사이로
종소리 울려 종소리 울려
나의 머릿속 네 목소리로
저기 멀리 빨간 등대도
트리처럼 보여서
소원을 빌고 싶어지는 걸

[Chorus]
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
한 여름 속에
크리스마스 같아
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
기다려왔던 (Ooh yeah)
선물들 같아 (Ooh-ooh yeah)

[Refrain]
With you, with you
With you, with you (Oh, 이 여름이 가도)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
With you, with you
With you, with you
우리 둘이 그대로이길, oh yeah

[Break]
Oh-oh
Hey-yeah

[Bridge]
하얀 첫눈 같은 별빛들
그 아래 너와 나의 입맞춤
꿈만 같아

[Chorus]
When I’m with you
When I’m with you (Oh)
한 여름 속에 (Baby, oh)
크리스마스 같아 (When I’m with you)
When I’m with you (When I’m with you, oh)
When I’m with you
상상도 못 한
선물들 같아
When I’m with you
When I’m with you (한 여름 속에)
한 여름 속에
크리스마스 같아 (Whenever I’m, whenever I’m with you)
When I’m with you (Woah-woah-oh)
When I’m with you
설렘 가득한
선물들 같아

[Post-Chorus]
산타클로스 계신다면
제 소원은 있잖아요 (Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, ooh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh, ooh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
다가오는 모든 여름에도
함께 있게 해 주세요
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
울지 않을게요 (Ooh woah)

[Refrain]
With you, with you (With you, with you)
With you, with you (When I’m with you, oh)
Feels like I’m flying
With you, with you (Ooh)
With you, with you (With you, when I’m with you)
한 여름 크리스마스

[Outro]
Yeah
When I’m with you

English Translation

[Intro: Wendy]
Oh, oh

[Verse 1: Joy, Irene, Wendy, (Yeri)]
It’s just the two of us and the white sands
It almost feels like we’re in a snowy scenery
Under the red sun
Your sun burnt nose looks just like Rudolf’s (Hoo!)

[Chorus: Seulgi, Yeri, Wendy]
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
It feels like Christmas in the middle of summer
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
Every moment feels like a gift I’ve been waiting for

[Verse 2: Irene, Joy, Yeri, Wendy, Seulgi]
Yeah, you’re fluttering, fluttering
Filling up my heart to the brim
I’m like a yacht riding the waves of you
It’s a racing, refreshing feeling
And between this tender moment
I hear a bell, I hear a bell in my head
It must be your voice
Even that red lighthouse afar
Looks like a Christmas tree And I want to make a wish

[Chorus: All, Irene, Seulgi]
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
It feels like Christmas in the middle of summer
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
Every moment feels like a gift I’ve been waiting for (Ooh, yeah)

[Hook: All, Joy, Wendy]
With you, with you
With you, with you
(Oh, even when summer is over, uh-uh)
With you, with you
With you, with you
(I hope we’ll stay the same together, oh, oh, hey)

[Bridge: Seulgi, Wendy]
The shining stars above are like the first snow fall
As the two of us kiss (It’s like a dream)

[Chorus: All, Wendy, Joy, Seulgi]
When I’m with you
When I’m with you (Baby, oh)
It feels like Christmas in the middle of summer
When I’m with you (When I’m with you)
When I’m with you (When I’m with you)
Every moment feels like a gift I’ve been waiting for

[Chorus: All, Wendy & All, Yeri, (Seulgi)]
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
It feels like Christmas in the middle of summer
(Whenever I’m, whenever I’m with you)
When I’m with you
When I’m with you
Every moment feels like a heartfelt gift

[Refrain: Irene, Wendy, All, Joy, Yeri]
Are you there, Santa Claus?
My wish is… (Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh-uh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
For us to be together
For every summer that’s to come
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
No, I won’t cry (Oh)

[Hook: All, Joy, Wendy, Seulgi]
With you, with you (With you, with you)
With you, with you (When I’m with you)
(Feels like I’m flying, ooh)
With you, with you (With you)
With you, with you (When I’m with you)

[Outro: Wendy, Irene, Wendy & Seulgi]
A Christmas in the middle of summer, yeah
When I’m with you
