September
Sebalter Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I. I saw you flying away,
running into the air,
you were this breeze, scent of September,
Crackling fireplace and color of ripe grapes,
too many drunken whiners, to drunken liars,

I'm standing here now on my nostalgic gloom,
in a forest of fire and gold,, Moonlight Sonata" is playing downtown in the crowd,

I feel some numb and i faint,

I miss the beuty of love,
in the mount of September,
when Summer is gone,
but it's not yet fall,
You belong to my winter,
sorry if it hurts

But for me is no time,
to carry on, to carry on

Line by Line Meaning

I saw you flying away,
I watched you leave, soaring into the sky,

running into the air,
You ran and jumped into the open sky,

you were this breeze, scent of September,
You were like the gentle wind and aroma of autumn,

Crackling fireplace and color of ripe grapes,
The coziness of a burning fireplace and deep purple shades of grapes come to mind,

too many drunken whiners, to drunken liars,
From annoyingly drunk people to dishonest drunk people, there were just too many around,

I'm standing here now on my nostalgic gloom,
I am standing here with sadness and fond memories,

in a forest of fire and gold,, Moonlight Sonata" is playing downtown in the crowd,
In the midst of a strikingly colorful forest, the famous piano piece Moonlight Sonata can be heard from the city,

I feel some numb and i faint,
Emotionally overwhelmed, I feel a numbness and faintness,

I miss the beauty of love,
I long for the wonderful feeling of being in love,

in the mount of September,
Especially during the month of September,

when Summer is gone,
When summer has come to an end,

but it's not yet fall,
But it is not yet autumn,

You belong to my winter,
You are meant to be with me during my desolate winter,

sorry if it hurts
I apologize if what I say causes you pain,

But for me is no time,
For me, there is no more time,

to carry on, to carry on
To continue on, there is no more strength.
