The End Of The World

看过赖声川和王伟忠的《宝岛一村》有那么几天了，心情很难以平复，但却一直也没整理思绪来，所以也没写点东西。今日北坡翻弄凤蝶的博，这么一首歌飘然；而至，心中猛然的敞亮，让人回想起那些难以忘怀的情节，仿佛共同经历了那些陈旧的往事一样。

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 any more?
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 goodbye
Don’t they know it’s the end of the world?
It ended when you said goodbye.

这是Skeeter Davis在1962年首唱的首歌，成为了家喻户晓的不朽名曲，也是她唯一的传世之作。大概也是早期进入台湾的美国文化之一，成为那代人特有的回忆。

如今听来，还很动人。
