Where Do I Go From Here
Jools Holland Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Könny csak az italom, kenyerem a bánat...
Szomorú vasárnap
Utolsó vasárnap, kedvesem gyere el,
Pap is lesz, koporsó, ravatal, gyászlepel. Akkor is virág vár, virág és - koporsó, virágos fák alatt utam az utolsó;
Nyitva lesz szemem, hogy még egyszer lássalak,
Utolsó vasárnap
These lyrics are a translation of a Hungarian song called "Gloomy Sunday." The lyrics speak of a Sunday where the singer waited for their lover with 100 white flowers and a church prayer. However, their lover did not come back and ever since that day, Sundays have been melancholic for the singer. They drown their sorrows in tears and their only meal is sadness.
The second part of the song is a plea to the singer's lover to come back for one last Sunday. They know that they will die soon and there will be a funeral with a coffin and mourners. Flowers will still be waiting for the lover, but this time, there will also be a coffin. The singer's eyes will be open so they can see the lover one last time even in death. They want the lover to know that they will always bless them, whether dead or alive.
The lyrics of this song gained notoriety when it was nicknamed the "Hungarian Suicide Song" due to its association with an urban legend that many people committed suicide while listening to it. However, there is no evidence that this is true.

Szomorú vasárnap száz fehér virággal vártalak kedvesem, templomi imával.
A sad Sunday where I waited for my lover with one hundred white flowers and a prayer in the church.
Álmokat kergető vasárnap délelőtt, bánatom hintaja nélküled visszajött;
A Sunday morning where my carriage of sorrow came back without you, chasing away my dreams.
azóta szomorú mindig a vasárnap,
Since then, every Sunday has been a sad one.
Könny csak az italom, kenyerem a bánat...
Tears are my drink, and sorrow is my bread...
Utolsó vasárnap, kedvesem gyere el,
Come to me, my beloved, on the last Sunday,
Pap is lesz, koporsó, ravatal, gyászlepel.
When there will be a priest, a coffin, a funeral, and mourning clothes.
Akkor is virág vár, virág és - koporsó, virágos fák alatt utam az utolsó;
Even then, flowers await me, flowers and a coffin, and my way will lead me under flowering trees to my last destination.
Nyitva lesz szemem, hogy még egyszer lássalak,
My eyes will be open, so I can see you one last time,
Ne félj a szememtől, holtan is áldalak...
Don't be afraid of my gaze, for even in death, I bless you...

It's spinning me around again
Like a little girl in a pink dress, oh
Darkness was my only friend
Up until the moment we met, oh
And I held you so close
And you said
"Where do you go when you go?
What do you take of your weary soul?
Oh, where do you go when you go?
Oh I just wanna know"
It's spinning me around again
Like a young girl in a prom dress, oh
With all this worry in my head
I'll stay up as late as I can, oh
'Til you come home
Come home
And tell me
"Where do you go when you go?
What do you take of your weary soul?
Oh, where do you go when you go?
I just wanna know, yeah"
It's spinning me around again
In and out of touch with the second hand
Oh, time stops
And I'll go
But tell me
Where do I go when I go?
What do I take of your weary soul?
Oh, where do I go when I go?
I just wanna know, ooh
I just wanna know
I just wanna
I just wanna
I just wanna know
Ooh I just wanna
I just wanna
I just wanna
The fire is burning
Much brighter than before
For you

I personally love the nervousness. It's so relatable and you already know she's a beast... So it shows a humility... Idk how to describe it. But i like it! She real 😘
Edoardo Andrea
Word!

It's not nervousness..... she was very sensitive singing this song bc she dedicated this song to her mother who passed away from suicide. She's a very talented singer!! Love her style!!
