September Ceria
Vina Panduwinata Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Di ujung kemarau panjang
Yang gersang dan menyakitkan
Kau datang menghantar berjuta kesejukan

Kasih
Kau beri udara untuk nafasku
Kau beri warna bagi kelabu jiwaku

Tatkala butiran hujan
Mengusik impian semu
Kau hadir disini dibatas kerinduanku
Kasih
Kau singkap tirai kabut di hatiku
Kau isi harpan baru untuk menyonsong
Masa depan bersama

September ceria
September ceria
September ceria
September ceria milik kita bersama

Ketika rembulan tersenyum diantara mega biru
Kutangkap sebersit isyarat dimatamu
Kasih
Kau sibak sepi disanubariku
Kau bawa daku berlari dalam asmara yang mendamba bahagia

September ceria
September ceria
September ceria
September ceria milik kita bersama

September ceria
September ceria

September ceria
September ceria milik kita bersama
