【E詩E歌E決心】The end of the world

"The End of the World" is a pop song written by composer Arthur Kent and lyricist Sylvia Dee, who often worked as a team. They wrote the song for American singer Skeeter Davis, and her recording of it was highly successful in the early 1960s, reaching the top five on four different charts, including No.?2 on the main Billboard Hot 100. It spawned many cover versions.

"The End of the World" is a sad song about the aftermath of a romantic breakup. Dee, the lyricist, said she drew on her sorrow from her father's death to set the mood for the song.

In 1975, American pop music duo Carpenters released a cover of "The End of the World" as a promotional single from their live album Live in Japan. It was recorded at the Festival Hall, Osaka, Japan.

相信大家對The end of the world 這首歌不陌生。以前在國內聽到的應該是卡朋特兄妹的版本，那時就已經非常喜歡這首歌。從歌詞上看，這應該是一首比較傷感的情歌，描寫深愛戀人分手後感覺世界末日要來臨的悲傷情緒。但實際上詞作者的創作靈感來自於自己父親去世後的悲痛感受。

能夠演唱這首歌確實是一種榮幸，一種能夠唱自己喜歡的歌的歡欣喜悅！盡管是首傷感的歌，但卻能讓人感受到歌裏的愛與溫情！非常感謝歌友Owl提供的底版！

實際上我唱的瑕疵頗多，敬請大家多包涵！也希望你喜歡這首經典！

 

"The End Of The World"
歌曲歌詞

Why does the sun go on shining？ / 太陽為何依然照耀

Why does the sea rush to shore？ / 海浪為何拍打著岩岸

Don't they know it's the end of the world？ / 難道它們不知道這是世界末日嗎

'Cause you don't love me anymore / 因為你不再愛我了

Why do the birds go on singing？ / 鳥兒為何依然歌唱

Why do the stars glow above？ / 星星為何在天上閃耀

Don't they know it's the end of the world？ / 難道它們不知道這是世界末日嗎

It ended when I lost your love / 當我失去了你的愛

I wake up in the morning / 當我清晨醒來

And I wonder why everything's the same as it was / 納悶著為何一切如常

I can't understand, no I can't understand / 我無法理解，我真的無法理解

How life goes on the way it does / 生命怎會像往常一樣運行

Why does my heart go on beating？ / 我的心為何仍在跳動

Why do these eyes of mine cry？ / 我的雙眼為何在流淚

Don't they know it's the end of the world？ / 難道它們不知道這是世界末日

It ended when you said goodbye /結束在你說再見的時候
