Gloomy Sunday 歌詞翻譯如下:
[第一段]
I remember yesterday
我記得昨天
The black clergyman's cries
那個黑人牧師在哭泣
As he led me in circles
當他領著我兜圈子
Round and round and round
轉啊轉啊轉
[副歌]
Gloomy Sunday
憂鬱的星期天
The day that I die
我死的那一天
Gloomy Sunday

And I heard the angels weep
我聽見天使在哭泣
As they carried him to his rest
當他們把他帶走安息的時候
[副歌]
Gloomy Sunday

The day that I die

Gloomy Sunday

[橋段]
Oh Lord take my hand
喔上帝,請握住我的手
Oh let me go again
喔請讓我再回去
Down down death's steep gully
下沉死亡那幽暗的山谷里去(即一連串“下(down)”營造的暗示可能讓人覺得是對身體向下的趨勢或者是加速的下墜,“和”讓人聯想到飛行和上下的振動)
[副歌]
Gloomy Sunday
憂鬱的星期天
The day that I die
我死的那一天
Gloomy Sunday
憂鬱的星期天
The day that I die again
我再一次死去(指靈魂死去)
[結尾副歌]
Gloomy Sunday is done with sinning (done with sinning) (I) believe I will rise from the dead again (I will rise from the dead again)
再見了憂鬱的星期天(不再沉淪了),我又要重新從死里復活(我將從死里再次復活) 這一段的和弦是D小調,主旋律是悲傷的,所以最後一句“再見了憂鬱的星期天”是強有力的,也是對過去生活的告別。
