"Sunday is gloomy                                           
My hours are slumberless                          
Dearest the shadows                                     
I live with are numberless"                                                                                                 
The singer was feeling sad on this Sunday . He was unable to sleep. Singer was saying his deported love that there's a shadow hanging over everything.
"Little white flowers 
will never awaken you                                  
not where the black coach                          
of sorrow has taken you"                                                                                                   
He was not sure whether the flower reference something specific or not, but the coach of sorrow is a here.It is clear that his lover is dead. 
 "Angles have no thought                              
of ever returing you                                        
would they be angry                                     
If i thought of joining you                             
Gloomy Sunday"                                                                                                                      
There is no way that heaven will allow his lover to return from the dead. So would the singer be welcome in heaven if he commited suicide. 
"Gloomy is Sunday                                          
with shadow i spend it all                            
my heart and i have                                      
decided to end it all"                                                                                                             
That Sunday was very sad he decided to commit suicide.     

"Soon there'll be candles                               
and prayers that are lit i know , 
let them not sweep               
let then know that I'm glad to go"                                                                                                             There will be awake afterwards but the singer doesn't want to let them mourn them as they were glad to join their love in heaven.     
Death is no dream                                         
for in death I'm caressing  you                   
with the last breath of my soul                    
I'll be blessing you                                                                                                                   
Death would be reality if they would be together again.  Their last words on earth would be about their love . This song is really fantastic and wonderful . And at last the author kill himself.
