English lyric:

Verse 1:

My daydreams lie buried in autumn leaves,
They're covered with autumn rain,
The time is sweet September,
The place, a shady lane,
I'm riding the wings of an autumn breeze,
Back to my memories;

Chorus:

The leaves of brown came tumbling down, remember?
In September in the rain,
The sun went out just like a dying ember,
That September in the rain.
To ev'ry word of love I heard you whisper,
The raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain.
Though spring is here, to me it's still September,
That September in the rain.

Verse 2 (from British sheet music):

Now warm spring is filling my life with dreams,
That I thought all past and gone;
But still there ever lingers
In my heart only one;
An autumn mem'ry that will live always,
Until I end my days;

[Chorus]

French lyric:

"Doux Septembre Sous La Pluie"

Verse:

Mes rêves sont cachés sous les feuilles,
Couverts de pluie d'automne;
Le temps est doux septembre,
Au chemin dans l'ombre;
La brise d'automne me raméne,
Ver tous mes souvenirs;

Chorus:

Les brunes feuilles tombaient te souveins tu?
En septembre sous la pluie;
Le soleil baissait comme un feu qui s'éteint,
En septembre sous la pluie.
Pour chaque mot d'amour que tu murmurais,
Les gouttes d'eau, un gai refrain chantaient.
Le printemps vient, dans mon cœur c'est septembre,
Doux septembre sous la pluie.
