Lyrics

The lines marked with an asterisk (*) are only present on the original version of September. Lines marked with ※ are only present on the pop'n music cut of the song, and fades out towards the end, after "Ba de ya, never was a cloudy day" is sung.

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

Hey hey hey
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
※ Now December found the love that we shared in September
   Only blue talk and love
   Remember the true love we share today

   Hey hey hey
   Ba de ya, say do you remember
   Ba de ya, dancing in September
   Ba de ya, never was a cloudy day

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 de ya
