Billie Holiday




Billie Holiday (1915-1959) – Gloomy Sunday (1960)

"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
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 sad
I know, 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 is telling you
How much I wanted you
Gloomy Sunday

If I thought of joining you

Gloomy

Gloomy
My hours are shadows
Numberless flowers will awaken you
The black coach of sorrow
Has angels returning
Angry thought joining
Gloomy

Gloomy shadows
- I end it all
Candles are sad
Know that I’m glad

Death
For in death
With breath blessing

Gloomy dreaming
- I wake asleep

Darling dream
Never my heart
I wanted you

Gloomy.
