Gloomy Sunday (Szomorú Vasárnap)

Gloomy Sunday had been announced as to be the most famous song for people to commit suicide.

The song was written by László Jávor and set to music in 1933 by a Hungarian pianist and composer Rezső Seress, in which the singer mourns the untimely death of a lover and contemplates suicide.

Sarah McLachlan - Gloomy Sunday (1996)


Lyrics
Sunday is gloomy
My hours are slumberless
Dearest the shadows
I live with are numberless
Little white flowers
Will never awaken you
Not where the black coach
Of sorrow has taken you

Angels have no thoughts
Of ever returning you
Would they be angry
If I thought of joining you?

Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy Sunday

Gloomy is Sunday
With shadows I spend it all
My heart and I
Have decided to end it all
Soon there'll be candles
And prayers that are said I know
But let them not weep
Let them know that I'm glad to go

Death is no dream
For in death I'm caressing you
With the last breath of my soul
I'll be blessing you

Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy Sunday

Dreaming, I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you asleep
In the deep of my heart here

Darling I hope
That my dream never haunted you
My heart is telling you
How much I wanted you

Gloomy Sunday
Gloomy Sunday
