Lirik Lagu "Wake Me Up When September Ends"

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my father's come to pass
Seven years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Ring out the bells again
Like we did when spring began
Wake me up when September ends

Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in my pain again
Becoming who we are

As my memory rests
But never forgets what I lost
Wake me up when September ends

Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends

Like my father's come to pass
20 years has gone so fast
Wake me up when September ends

Wake me up when September ends
Wake me up when September ends

Lirik Terjemahan Wake Me Up When September Ends

Musim panas telah tiba dan berlalu
Orang yang tidak bersalah tidak akan pernah bertahan lama
Bangunkan aku ketika bulan September berakhir

Seperti yang terjadi pada ayahku
Tujuh tahun berlalu begitu cepat
Bangunkan aku ketika bulan September berakhir
