Sommerkleid literally translates to "summer dress". While not explicitly in the provided lyrics, it is the title of the song and a central image that evokes feelings of warmth, nostalgia, and a specific person.

Have you ever been so smitten with someone that you just can't get them out of your head, even if they don't know who you are? That's exactly the feeling MilleniumKid is singing about in "Sommerkleid"! He's completely captivated by someone, to the point where he feels like the sun has set his heart on fire: "Die Sonne hat die halbe Welt in Brand gebracht und mein Herz brennt nur wegen dir" [The sun has set half the world on fire and my heart burns only for you].
It's a bittersweet song because he's constantly hoping to see this person again, standing alone at their usual spot: "Steh ich alleine an unserer Ecke / Hoffe, dass ich dich wieder treffe und dich fragen kann / Warum bist du nicht mehr hier?" [I stand alone at our corner / Hope that I meet you again and can ask you / Why are you no longer here?]. He's dreaming of being with them, even imagining a cold Saarland Graben freezing over while his mind paints a thousand pictures of them. It's a really relatable feeling of longing for someone who might not even know the depth of your feelings!
