Billie Holiday – Gloomy Sunday

Rezso Seress – Gloomy Sunday

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 thought of ever returning you
Would they be angry if I thought of joining you?

Gloomy Sunday

Gloomy is Sunday in shadows I spend it all
My heart and I have decided to end it all
Soon there’ll be candles and prayers that is sad 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

Dreaming, I was only dreaming
I wake and I find you asleep in the deep of my heart dear
Darling I hope that my dream never haunted you
My heart was telling you how much I wanted you

Gloomy Sunday

Prevod na srpski

Sumorna nedelja

Nedelja je sumorna, moji sati su besani
Najdraže senke sa kojima živim su bezbrojne
Beli cvetići nikada te neće probuditi
Anđeli ni ne pomišljaju da te ikada vrate
Da li bi se ljutili ako bih ja pomislila da ti se pridružim?

Sumorna nedelja

Sumorna je nedelja, u senkama je čitavu provodim
Moje srce i ja odlučili smo da na sve to tačku stavimo
Uskoro će biti sveća i molitvi, to je tužno, znam
Ali nek ne plaču, nek znaju da ja rado odlazim
Smrt nije san jer u smrti ja te milujem
Poslednjim dahom svoje duše ja ću te blagosloviti

Sumorna nedelja

Sanjam, samo sam sanjala
Probudim se i shvatim da spavaš u dubini moga srca, dragi
Dragi, ja se nadam da te moj san nikad te nije progonio
Moje srce mi je govorilo koliko sam te želela

Sumorna nedelja

  1. nisam cuo ni za jednog madjara 🙂 ali uvek volim da procitam neko objasnjenje o bilo kojoj pesmi kad stavis…ali ne znam ni sam kako sam ovu nasao,video sam naslov pa stavio 😉

  2. Komponovao ju je madjar Rezső Seress, 1933. za pesmu koju je napisao László Jávor – Szomorú vasárnap

    Poznata verzija je ta od Bili Holidej. Po urbanoj legendi, ova pesma je inspirisala stotine samoubistava pa je zato u SAD prozvana “Hungarian suicide song”. Njen kompozitor se zapravo ubio 1968. ali ostala samoubistva nisu potvrdjena i ta prica je navodno uglavnom bila deo marketing kampanje.
    Verzija Bili Holidej je bila zabranjena verovatno zbog II svetskog rata..

  3. ajoj,kolika lista 🙂
    ma ja sam ovo prvi put video pre neki dan slucajno..nisam ni gledao dal je na nekom albumu Portishead

  4. Na youtube-u tvrde da pesmu koju je neko postavio pod nazivom Portishead – Gloomy Sunday zapravo peva Heather Nova sto i ima smisla jer Portishead nije na dugoj listi izvodjaca koji su imali sumornu nedelju
