Here comes September 

Search on Google bore no result and I couldn’t find any lyrics having been fitted into the legendary and iconic Come September tune, made everlasting by handsome Rock Hudson and epitome of glamour Gina Lollobrigida in the immortal  eponymous movie that was released in 1961, an year prior to my birth. While I have grown old, the dance movements of the aforesaid two icons shaking to the arguably the most popular piece of music ever, looks and sounds very fresh even after more than 6 decades! And if we all check our WhatsApp messages, we can gauge its popularity by the number of our acquaintances that would have shared the music/video clip today i.e. on 1st September. 

Expectedly, Bollywood had a song on the above tune in by now largely forgotten Aamir Khan  flick , “ Ishq” and the lyrics read –

ओह, अंखिया तू मिला ले राजा
आए है दिन बहार के
अँखियाँ तू चुरा ना राजा
जाए ना दिन यह प्यार के
अँखियों तू मिला ले राजा
आए है दिन बहार के
अँखियाँ तू चुरा ना राजा
जाए ना दिन यह प्यार के
नींद उड़ती है उड़ने भी दे
चेन खोता है खोने भी दे
जान जाती है जाने भी दे
इश्क़ होता है होने भी दे

But I am sure that many attempts to fit in words to the immortal tune must have been made in the past, but having gotten so used to hearing it only instrumentally, the lyrics would only possibly jar the experience. 

Each year, the month of September

Heralds the arrival of autumn;

A gentle transition from heat to wetness,

To winter, a season most solemn.

Additionally, the beginning of the month

Takes us down a trip down the memory lane;

When to the tune of iconic Come September ,

Danced every Jack and every Jane!
