The composer wrote the song for a former girlfriend, who committed suicide shortly after the songs release. Legends have been told about Gloomy Sunday over the years and how it was allegedly connected with various numbers of suicides. Many American and European radio services found it too depressing for broadcast, and banned the song.
It is autumn and the leaves are falling
All love has died on earth
The wind is weeping with sorrowful tears
My heart will never hope for a new spring again
My tears and my sorrows are all in vain
People are heartless, greedy and wicked...
Love has died!
The world has come to its end, hope has ceased to have a meaning
Cities are being wiped out, shrapnel is making music
Meadows are coloured red with human blood
There are dead people on the streets everywhere
I will say another quiet prayer:
People are sinners, Lord, they make mistakes...
The world has ended!
