Lyrics

The lines marked with an asterisk (*) are only present on the jukebeat cut of September.

Do you remember the
21st night of September?
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away

Our hearts were ringing
In the key that our souls were singing.
As we danced in the night,
Remember how the stars stole the night away

Ba de ya - say do you remember
Ba de ya - dancing in September
Ba de ya - never was a cloudy day

Ba duda, ba duda, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda, badu
Ba duda, badu, ba duda

* My thoughts are with you
  Holding hands with your heart to see you
  Only blue talk and love,
  Remember how we knew love was here to stay

Ba de ya de ya de ya
Ba de ya de ya de ya
ba de ya de ya de ya
De ya

* Ba de ya de ya de ya
  Ba de ya de ya de ya
  ba de ya de ya de ya
