Gloomy Sunday
Embracing Shadows: Unveiling the Poignant Narrative of 'Gloomy Sunday'
Lyrics
Sunday is gloomy, my hours are slumberless
Sunday is gloomy, and my hours are sleepless.
Dearest the shadows I live with are numberless
I live with countless shadows, dearest to me.
Little white flowers will never awaken you
White flowers symbolize innocence that will never awaken the departed.
Not where the black coach of sorrow has taken you
The black coach of sorrow has taken the person away.
Angels have no thought of ever returning you
Angels won't bring the departed back, indicating a sense of finality.
Would they be angry if I thought of joining you?
Contemplating joining the departed, questioning if angels would be angered.
Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy Sunday - emphasizing the melancholy nature of the day.
Gloomy is Sunday, with shadows I spend it all
Sunday remains gloomy, spending the day in shadows.
My heart and I have decided to end it all
A decision to end life with a loved one.
Soon there'll be candles and prayers that are sad I know
Candles and prayers signify a somber farewell.
Let them not weep let them know that I'm glad to go
Expressing a desire for others not to weep but to know the departure brings relief.
Death is no dream for in death I'm caressing you
Death is portrayed as a reality, caressing the departed.
With the last breath of my soul I'll be blessing you
The last breath is a blessing to the departed.
Gloomy Sunday
Reiteration of the gloominess of Sunday.
Dreaming, I was only dreaming
Dreaming, possibly alluding to a wishful escape from reality.
I wake and I find you asleep in the deep of my heart, here
Waking to find the loved one only alive in the depths of the heart.
Darling, I hope that my dream never haunted you
Hoping that the dream hasn't haunted the loved one.
My heart is telling you how much I wanted you
Expressing the depth of the longing for the loved one.
Gloomy Sunday
A final mention of the gloomy nature of Sunday.
