"%22Gloomy Sunday%22, also known as the %22Hungarian Suicide Song%22, is a song composed by Hungarian pianist and composer Rezs\u0151 Seress and published in 1933.The original lyrics were titled V\u00E9ge a vil\u00E1gnak (The world is ending) and were about despair caused by war, ending in a quiet prayer about people's sins. Poet L\u00E1szl\u00F3 J\u00E1vor wrote his own lyrics to the song, titled Szomor\u00FA vas\u00E1rnap (Sad Sunday), in which the protagonist wants to commit suicide following his lover's death. The latter lyrics ended up becoming more popular while the former were essentially forgotten. The song was first recorded in Hungarian by P\u00E1l Kalm\u00E1r in 1935.%22Gloomy Sunday%22 was first recorded in English by Hal Kemp in 1936, with lyrics by Sam M. Lewis, and was recorded the same year by Paul Robeson, with lyrics by Desmond Carter. It became well-known throughout much of the English-speaking world after the release of a version by Billie Holiday in 1941. Lewis's lyrics referred to suicide, and the record label described it as the %22Hungarian Suicide Song%22. There is a recurring urban legend which claims that many people have committed suicide while listening to this song." . "6491151" . "Paul Robeson songs" . "178.0"^^ . . "11"^^ .
