September
Earth Wind & Fire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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 de ya de ya de ya
Ba de ya de ya de ya
Ba de ya de ya de ya de ya

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

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

Ba de ya, say do you remember
Ba de ya, dancing in September
Ba de ya, golden dreams were shinny days

Love bells was ringing
Our souls were singing
Do you remember, never a cloudy day

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

Ba de ya, say do you remember
Ba de ya, dancing in September
Ba de ya, golden dreams were shinny days

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

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of "September" by Earth Wind & Fire evoke a time and place - the 21st of September - that is filled with nostalgia and memories of a love that once was. The song tells the story of a love that bloomed in the month of September, a time when the days are starting to get shorter and the nights are getting colder. The lyrics paint a picture of two people who fell in love and danced under the stars, their hearts ringing out in the same key. The use of the metaphor "chasing the clouds away" suggests that the love between the two people was powerful enough to make everything else in the world fade away.


The chorus of "September" is catchy and upbeat, the kind of melody that lodges itself in your head for days. The use of the nonsense phrase "ba de ya" is clever in that it captures the joy and abandon of dancing under the stars, something that can't be expressed in words. The refrain "never was a cloudy day" suggests that the love between the two people was so strong that they never encountered any hardships or difficulties. The song ends on a wistful note, with the singer remembering the past and acknowledging that while the love they shared might be gone, the memories will always remain.
