This song practices weather and beach expressions and the verb "ir" ("to go").  The English translation can be found below the Spanish lyrics.

Hace sol. No llueve
Y nos gusta el mar
Vamos a la playa
Vamos a nadar

Coro:
¡Vaya! ¡Vaya! Voy a la playa
Y vas conmigo
¡Vaya! ¡Vaya! Voy a la playa
¡Qué día bonito!

El sol brilla mucho
¡Qué bien!, mi amor
Ya es el verano
¡Viva el calor!

Coro

Un buen restaurante
En la playa está
Hay buena comida
¿Quieres ir allá?

Coro

Translation:

*I'M GOING TO THE BEACH

It's sunny. It's not raining
And we like the sea
We're going to the beach
We're going to swim

Chorus:

*I'm going to the beach
And you're going with me
*I'm going to the beach
What a pretty day!

The sun is shining a lot
How fine, my love!
It’s already summer
Hurrah for warm weather!

A good restaurant
Is on the beach
They have good food (There is good food)
Do you want to go there?

*¡Vaya! is difficult to translate because it is an interjection. It’s used as an expression of surprise or joy.
