Lyrics Gloomy Sunday translate Indonesia:
Bleak week
Without a good sleep clock
Precious, my shadow only stays in number
Small white flowers Will never wake you up
Not where the coach is black
Sadness has been with you
Angels never think to return you
Will they be angry, if I think of joining you?
Bleak week
A dreary week, with shadows
I spent it all
My heart and me
Has decided to end it all
Soon there will be candles
And a sad prayer I know
Let them not cry
Let them know
That I love to go
Death is a dream
Death, I'm defending you
With the last soul of my soul
I will bless you
Bleak week
Dreaming, I'm just dreaming
I wake up, and I find you're asleep
In my heart, here
Honey, I wish that my dream
Never haunted you
My heart is for you
How I want you.
