Lyrics & Translation

[English] September is about to begin
A little bit of gloom, summer's coming to an end
But why does my stomach tighten at the start of school
My eyes are getting styes
Like every year
I feel the stress taking over, preventing me from enjoying
The end, the end of summer
Now I’ll have to work
No more beaches and those beautiful evenings
For nine months, I’m condemned
Tomorrow is the first day
Am I really dressed well
I’m so excited
Now, just thinking
About meeting the girl
Who will share my heart and thoughts
The one who will help me escape
From the workload waiting for me this year
I’ll dream about her as I think
Oh, she’s so beautiful
Under the sign of September
Under the sign of September
Under the sign of September

You, the student scared to get up
School’s just a track to guide you
And even if luck doesn’t turn your way
Other paths are open to you
You just have to imagine them
Come on, wake up
Show them no one else can choose for you
The place you’ll hold in society
The one that will make you forget
The child you used to be
Child you used to be
And you’ll regret September
You’ll regret September
You’ll regret September
You’ll regret September
Oh, September
Oh, September
Oh, September
Oh, September

Yeah
Yeah
