the end of the world---草莓改编翻唱版

翻唱自Skeeter Davis的the end of the world
也是草莓第一首翻唱的歌曲

“The end of the world”是1963年相当受欢迎的一首歌，
曾是钱柜杂志 (Cashbox，现已停刊 )该年度的年终排行冠军曲，
也是乡村女歌手Skeeter Davis唯一的传世之作。
从内容看来，这又是一首失恋的情歌，
但原作曲者乃是因为父亲逝世，觉得犹如世界末日一般而写出这首歌。
Skeeter Davis的演唱平实而动人，而且自己担任和声，成就了一首流行经典。

歌词的内容，仿佛也很简单：
一个女孩在爱人离去之后，
怀疑世界怎么能够继续存在、
万物怎么能够继续运作；
对她来说，世界末日已经降临，
因为，她已经是孤单一人，再也没有一个可依靠的肩膀……。
而演唱这首歌的女歌手 Skeeter Davis 却表示，
这首歌并不仅是一首小女孩所唱的哀怨情歌，
更蕴涵著关于死亡的凝重命题。

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 everything'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
