The Gloomy Sunday we know today is based on the lyrics of Hungarian poet László Jávor. The original Hungarian Composer and pianist, Rezso Seress, had his own lyrics that were replaced early on. The version most people are familiar with today is not based on the composers original lyrics! It'll be nice to one day get someone to sing his original lyrics over his haunting melody! • • Now, you will hear them, first in English and then in Hungarian by my pal Istvan Urban (Hungary) • • • LITERAL ENGLISH TRANSLATION: • World Has Come To Its End • • 't is autumn with withered • leaves whirling. • On earth, love among • people has died. • With tears of sorrow the • autumn wind's sobbing, • for a new spring my heart • is too hopeless to wait. • Invain all my tears, all • my sufferings invain, • heartless the people, wicked • and all full of greed... • • Love has died! • • The world and all hope • has come to its end, • Cities wiped out in • resounding shrapnel. • Bright meadows with human • blood coloured red. • Dead people scattered • on the streets everywhere. • So once more quietly • I will say my prayer: • My Lord, people are • erring and prone to sin... • • World has come to its end! • • (Transl. by A.W. Tüting) • • • • --sz van és peregnek a sárgult levelek • • Meghalt a földön az emberi szeretet • Bánatos könnyekkel zokog az öszi szél • Szívem már új tavaszt nem vár és nem remél • Hiába sírok és hiába szenvedek • Szívtelen rosszak és kapzsik az emberek... • • Meghalt a szeretet! • • Vége a világnak, vége a reménynek • Városok pusztulnak, srapnelek zenélnek • Emberek vérét--l piros a tarka rét • Halottak fekszenek az úton szerteszét • Még egyszer elmondom csendben az imámat: • Uram, az emberek gyarlók és hibáznak... • • Vége a világnak! • • • • Music by Tmac • http://www.delvinshademusic.com • • Set to rare old footage of the Hungarian 1956 Revolution and also to the 2006 Hungarian Revolution.
