Septembre Lyrics in English La Femme

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Septembre by La Femme from French to English.
September's about to start
A bit of the blues, it's the end of summer
But why does my stomach knot up at back-to-school time
Styes are sprouting in my eyes
Like every year
I feel the stress grabbing me and stopping me from enjoying
The end, the end of summer
Now I'll have to work
Goodbye to the beach and all those lovely nights
For nine months, I'm condemned
Tomorrow's the first day
Am I
Really dressed right
I'm so excited
Now at the thought
Of meeting the girl
Who'll share my heart and my thoughts
The one who'll let me escape
From the work that's waiting for me this year
I'll dream while thinking of her
She's so beautiful
Under the sign of September
Under the sign of September
Under the sign of September
You, the student who's scared to get up
School's just a track to guide you
And even if luck doesn't swing your way
Other roads open up to you
You just have to imagine them
Come on, wake up
Show them nobody will choose for you
The place you'll take in this society
The one that'll make you forget
The child you used to be
Child you used to be
And you'll miss September
You'll miss September
You'll miss September
September
September
September
Yeah

SONG MEANING

“Septembre” drops listeners into that yearly mix of sunshine nostalgia and first-day-of-school jitters. As the last grains of summer slip away, the Jersey-born artist sings about stomach knots, tiny eye styes and the sudden pressure of homework replacing beach sunsets. It is a snapshot of that in-between moment when flip-flops make room for backpacks, and excitement for new beginnings wrestles with the sadness of holiday memories already fading.

Yet the song is not just a sigh. Halfway through, La Femme turns mentor, speaking directly to the pupil who dreads the alarm clock. She reminds us that studies are only one rail on a much larger track and that choosing a place in society should be a personal adventure. September becomes both a challenge and a promise: you might meet someone who lights up your thoughts, you might carve out a future that honors the child you once were. The chorus warns you will someday miss these thrilling pivots, so the message is clear—embrace the stress, dream up new routes and dance into autumn before the leaves even hit the ground.
