September
Campsite Dream Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you remember
The 21'st night of September?
Love was changin' the minds of pretenders
While chasin' the clouds away

Our hearts were ringin'
In the key that our souls were singin'
As we danced in the night, remember
How the stars stole the night away

Ha, ha, ha, ha yeah
Say do you remember, ha yeah
Dancing in September, ha yeah
Never was a cloudy day
Ha, ha, ha, ha yeah

My thoughts are with you
Holdin' 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

Ha, ha, ha, ha yeah
Say do you remember, ha yeah
Dancing in September, ha yeah
Never was a cloudy day
Ha, ha, ha, ha yeah

(Ha, ha, ha, ha yeah)
(Say do you remember, ha yeah)




(Dancing in September, ha yeah)
(Never was a cloudy day)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Campsite Dreams' song "September" evoke a sense of nostalgia and a yearning for a simpler time when love was paramount, and every day was sunny. The first verse of the song is a reminder of a love that changed the lives of pretenders, and how that love lifted everyone's spirits, "chasing the clouds away." The next verse paints a picture of how the lovebirds danced the night away under a clear and starry sky. The second half of the song focuses on how the memories of the past love continue to linger in the singer's mind. The sentiment "Only blue talk and love, remember" implies that the love they shared was genuine, and despite how their relationship ended, the memory of it is cherished.


The chorus of the song reinforces the idea that the memory of this love is so special that it's impossible to forget. The repetition of Ha, ha, ha, ha yeah and "Say do you remember, ha yeah" creates a sense of joy and happiness, as if the singer were trying to relive the moments that they shared with this person. The song's final line, "Never was a cloudy day," is a metaphor for how their love was bright and full of sunshine, and this memory will remain with them forever.

¿Te acuerdas?
¿La noche 21 de septiembre?
El amor estaba cambiando la mente de los pretendientes
Mientras ahuyenta las nubes

Nuestros corazones sonaban
En la clave que nuestras almas cantaban
Cuando bailábamos en la noche, recuerda
Cómo las estrellas se robaron la noche

Ja, ja, ja, ja si
Di, ¿recuerdas, ja sí?
Bailando en septiembre, sí
Nunca fue un día nublado
Ja, ja, ja, ja si

Mis pensamientos están contigo
Tomando las manos con el corazón para verte
Sólo hablan y amor azul, recuerdan
Cómo sabíamos que el amor estaba aquí para quedarse

Ahora diciembre
Encontré el amor que compartimos en septiembre
Sólo hablan y amor azul, recuerdan
El verdadero amor que compartimos hoy

Ja, ja, ja, ja si
Di, ¿recuerdas, ja sí?
Bailando en septiembre, sí
Nunca fue un día nublado
Ja, ja, ja, ja si

(Ha, ha, ha, ha si)
(Di, ¿recuerdas, ha sí)
(Bailando en septiembre, ha sí)
(Nunca fue un día nublado)
