Gloomy sundayGloomy is sunday,With shadows I spend it allMy heart and iHave decided to end it allSoon therell be candlesAnd prayers that are said I knowBut let them not weepLet them know that Im glad to goDeath is no dreamFor in death Im caressin youWith the last breath of my soulIll be blessin youGloomy sundayDreaming, I was only dreamingI wake and I find you asleepIn the deep of my heart hereDarling I hopeThat my dream never haunted youMy heart is tellin youHow much I wanted youGloomy SundayOriginal Lyrics by Rezso Seress:Szomoru VasarnapŐsz van és peregnek a sárgult levelekMeghalt a földön az emberi szeretetBánatos könnyekkel zokog az öszi szélSzívem már új tavaszt nem vár és nem remélHiába sírok és hiába szenvedekSzívtelen rosszak és kapzsik az emberek...Meghalt a szeretet!Vége a világnak, vége a reménynekVárosok pusztulnak, srapnelek zenélnekEmberek vérétől piros a tarka rétHalottak fekszenek az úton szerteszétMég egyszer elmondom csendben az imámat:Uram, az emberek gyarlók és hibáznak...Vége a világnak!LITERAL ENGLISH TRANSLATION: Sad SundayIt is autumn and the leaves are fallingAll love has died on earthThe wind is weeping with sorrowful tearsMy heart will never hope for a new spring againMy tears and my sorrows are all in vainPeople are heartless, greedy and wicked... Love has died!The world has come to its end, hope has ceased to have a meaningCities are being wiped out, shrapnel is making musicMeadows are coloured red with human bloodThere are dead people on the streets everywhereI will say another quiet prayer:People are sinners, Lord, they make mistakes...The world has ended!Lyrics by Andrew J. Shepherd:Gloomy Sunday / Sad SundayThe autumn is here again, leaves stirring in the breezeAll love I felt for you darling will slowly freezeThe autumn breeze mourning and shedding its lonely tearsMy heart has stopped counting all of these lonely yearsI've given up suffering for what people have becomeEvil and heartless and selfish is what they've doneLove has diedOn a sad-sad SundayOn a sad-sad SundaySuddenly hope and the world tried to end itselfThe music has been replaced by screaming bombshellsColourful meadows have suddenly turned to redAnd all those grey street are filled with the deadI fall to my knees and say one silent prayerLord please forgive them for all of their failuresLove has diedOn a sad-sad SundayOn a sad-sad SundayDeath...Rezso Serres Commited suicide in 1938.
