The End of the World

 

美國知名鄉村歌手Skeeter Davis(1931-2004),本名Mary Frances Penick,〈The End of the World〉是她最為人所知的一首歌曲。這首歌從字面上看起來像是描寫失戀心情的情歌,而事實乃為作曲者面臨失怙之痛所寫的悲歌。

 

傳聞今天就是世界末日,讓我們來聽聽這首歌曲,聽完再一起上路,好嗎?

 

Skeeter Davis – The End of the World  

 

Why does the sun go on shining?

Why does the sea rush to shore?

Don't they know it's the end of the world

'cause you don't love me anymore?

 

Why do the birds go on singing?

Why do the stars glow above?

Don't they know it's the end of the world?

It ended when I lost your love

 

I wake up in the morning and I wonder

why ev'rything's the same as it was

I can't understand, no I can't understand,

how life goes on the way it does!

 

Why does my heart go on beating?

Why do these eyes of mine cry?

Don't they know it's the end of the world?

It ended when you said good-bye

 

如果你 / 妳還活著,那麼來聽聽另一首曲子

 

 

無論世界末日是否來臨,生命的意義端視你 / 妳的人生態度而定,對吧?
