Gloomy Sunday


rezso seress szomorú vasárnap

The Hungarian “Gloomy Sunday” is an infamous song. Hauntingly beautiful, the story goes that the song was so sad, so depressing, so completely soul crushing, that upon hearing it even once, Hungarians were driven to suicide. And not just a few, during its era, hundreds of suicides were attributed to the melody.

Part of English translation of the original Hungarian:

The world has come to its end,
hope has ceased to have a meaning
Cities are being wiped out,
Meadows are colored 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!
