Summer Body Lyrics in English Helena

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Summer Body by Helena from French to English.
Summer's coming, sun at the window
Summer body tells me hurry but I don't feel ready
They put in the magazines girls who are too fly
With silhouettes too thin to be honest
Summer is here; I've been waiting so long
I paint my nails and plug my ears
I don't wanna hear what you've got to tell me
Nor what I gotta do to look good
But how do you look good
With hair full of salt
Summer body, whatever, you know what
Summer body, I'll spend the summer without you
Summer body, I'm not gonna ruin my life
To please I don't know who, I don't know what
Summer body, whatever, you know what
Summer body, I'll spend the summer without you
Summer body, I'm not gonna ruin my life
To please I don't know who, I don't know what
The beach is packed, sunburn on my head
Body covered in lotion and skin too pale
The bikini in the window; it doesn't fit me
I'm surrounded by gorgeous girls; I wish they didn't exist
No, I'm not gonna hide my love handles
Three kilos, so what? There'll always be too much or not enough
You piss me off right in the middle of summer
Tell me, you who know how to look good
What do I do with my peeling skin
Summer body, whatever, you know what
Summer body, I'll spend the summer without you
Summer body, I'm not gonna ruin my life
To please I don't know who, I don't know what
Summer body, whatever, you know what
Summer body, I'll spend the summer without you
Summer body, I'm not gonna ruin my life
To please I don't know who, I don't know what
Summer body, the moral of the story
Is you're just a warped mirror of me
You're there on my shoulder
Like a lousy devil stuck to my skin
But I know you don't exist
If I say you don't exist
Outro
Summer body, I'm fine, you know what
Summer body, I spent the summer without you
Summer body, I'm not gonna ruin my life
To please I don't know who, I don't know what

SONG MEANING

Sunshine, sand, and... self-acceptance! In Summer Body, Swedish artist Helena flips the classic “bikini-ready” narrative on its head. As the temperature rises, magazines parade impossibly perfect silhouettes and the pressure to sculpt the ideal beach figure grows louder. Helena, however, slams the door on those expectations. From chipped nail polish to salt-tangled hair, she proudly lists every so-called “flaw” and turns it into a badge of freedom. Instead of obsessing over a few extra kilos or a peeling sunburn, she decides to enjoy the season exactly as she is.

The chorus becomes her anthem of defiance: “Summer body, j’passerai l’été sans toi.” Helena personifies the concept of a “summer body” as a nagging devil on her shoulder, then cheerfully kicks it to the curb. The song beams with body-positivity, reminding listeners that the only opinion that matters under the sun is their own. So grab your sunscreen, crank up the music, and join Helena in making this summer about laughter, ice cream, and living in the moment—not chasing somebody else’s idea of perfect.
