Septiembre Lyrics in English Melendi

Home / Lyrics Translation / Melendi / Septiembre

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Septiembre by Melendi from Spanish to English.

He has his eyes on her hips

While she is just in underwear

She dances backlit by the blinds

That bathe her, giving her a dress of sun

He thinks that he has seen an angel

She has never felt so free

He memorizes every detail

She notices and smiles at him

And even though it's playing on the radio

They only listen

To the chords of

The ready moon watches the hours pass

While they ignore

The world that's around

The light of the city announces the morning

But in that bed

Time doesn't exist, not even on a clock

Hands get mixed up while

Shadows melt together

The windows start fogging up

They desire and play

They smell each other, they have no memory

So much that they look like animals

It's very different during the week

She teaches at the university

Both holding back their desire

As if he were just another student

While she writes on the board

He is unable to concentrate

She brushes the hair off her back

And math burns for him

And through the corridors

They don't even look at each other as they pass

She is scared

She's scared of what they'll say

He can't take any more of this forbidden love

It gives the fugitive

A Harrison Ford complex

And she, who doesn't see herself in skirts and going wild

Tells him wait a bit

To see where the sun will come out

He tells her my love, I can't contain what I feel

But she, frightened, doesn't answer

He looks at her and doesn't know how to interpret her silence

Something simply breaks

Only two weeks are left until summer arrives

But in their two hearts it already seems that it has started

Yet whenever there was fire some ashes remain

And every morning she erases a chalk heart

And after that summer September already began

And again in the corridors, although now without so much fever

They don't look, they don't touch, she because she's hurrying

And the other because he has found a new love

Did you like these lyrics?

SONG MEANING

Melendi’s “Septiembre” unwraps a secret romance that flickers as brightly as a sunrise through half-closed blinds. In the hush of night, a young student and his university professor surrender to instinct: she dances in nothing but her underwear, the blinds paint her body with stripes of sunlight, and he studies every curve as if it were a final exam. Their chemistry is raw, almost animal, and for a few euphoric hours they block out the city lights, the ticking clock, and even the music on the radio.

Daylight, however, drags them back to reality. In the lecture hall she writes formulas while pretending he is just another face in the crowd, and he feels his math notes burn with forbidden longing. Fear of gossip keeps them apart in the corridors, but summer heat keeps their hearts on the run. When vacation ends and September rolls in, the intensity has cooled: she hurries past with new worries, and he has already found someone else. The song becomes a bittersweet reminder that some fires blaze only for a season, leaving just enough ash to sketch—and erase—a chalk heart each morning.
