Skeeter Davis 《The End Of The World》世界末日

2022-01-03 企鵝之音

《The End Of The World》是美國著名的女鄉村音樂歌手Skeeter Davis(史琪特·戴維絲)為懷念亡父而作詞、作曲並演唱,發行於1963年,被評為當年最受歡迎的歌曲,曾被無數人翻唱。今天同時分享西班牙女歌手Rita Calypso的翻唱版本。

恬靜傷感輕柔的一首歌,緩緩帶出淡淡的憂傷,少女用純真而略顯生澀的歌聲,慢慢訴說無助和哀愁,感嘆生命的失去。

陽光依然燦爛、鳥兒依然歌唱、星星依然閃爍,為何末日卻已來臨?愛已失去,難道一切都會失去?一切不可知,不必苛求,順其自然。珍惜,是我們對生命的感悟;懷念,是為了更好的生活!

Skeeter Davis (1931年12月30日—2004年9月19日),美國著名的女鄉村音樂歌手。

The End Of The World - Skeeter DavisWhy 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 starts 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 is 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 crying
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine crying
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye

Alas,after Getting back From my daily stroll along the beach,before enjoying my sumptuous supper,it triggers my bittersweet memories of my late Daddy to listen to 'The End Of The World'.Oh,only a loving daughter who loses her Daddy's unique love can sing Such an emotional song In Such an emotional way as to resonate with any listeners who have the same experience.

Alas,when my dearest poppy left me too prematurely for a better world years ago,I felt It was the end of the world,blaming why the Sun still shone When nobody loved me as deeply as my father,why the birds still sang When my dad could not instruct me any more,and why people still laughed and danced When I would not appreciate my papa's magnetic voice any longer,and why the stars still flew over the clouds When I had No chance to see my affectionate dada save In the dream.

Early in the morning,after woken up by my mother-in-law's coughing,finding It virtually impossible to fall asleep again,after listening to,reading through and making comments on Englishbus,I pick up this song again Only to find myself unable to prevent tears From rolling down my cheeks,with the handsome image of my dearest father appearing.

Alas,I have listened to and made comments on'The End Of The World' for too many times on too many platforms.Alas,it is a universal truth that When a parent passes away,for his or her small children,their world falls down,which I am keenly aware of.Alas,when my dearest  father died of stroke years ago,I had a strong feeling that everything of mine was at an end,because my backbone,my pillar,my source of knowledge,wisdom and comfort disappeared with my father.Therefore,this song speaks my mind out .Amen.

Early in the morning,listening to Rita Calypso's "The End Of The World",which is just one year my junior,in a farmyard of Kanas Lake,is an especially  meaningful experience for me,a seasoned English teacher in Xinjiang.Oh,in Xinjiang where girls' heart is as expansive as the place they are living in,this song can not find many echoes.You see,for normal Xinjiang girls like their peers in most places of our country,losing a boy's love can anger and pain them,but they will never regard it as the end of the world,because there are plenty more fish in the sea.

However,for some obsessive girls and boys,losing their love is the end of the world.Alas,in their eyes,with their love lost,the sun should stop shining,the sea should stop rushing to the shore,the birds should stop singing,and the stars should stop glowing above.Alas,for them it is an Everest to climb for them to walk out of the shadow of being lovelorn,because love means too much for them,and becausel they are too obsessed about their love.

Alas,if we come across such people,we should think twice before we decide to love,because half-way love and a French leave will take its destructive toll on them.Of course,on the other hand,it is a dream blessing to have such a spouse,because she treasures her better half more than her life.Oh,such undying love is worth the world.Actually,this song is originally a passionate memory of a departed father,expressing a child's unique love for her father whose departure means the end of the world to her.

However,with the passage of time,with the spread and different interpretation,the scope of this song's reference is greatly expanded,thus making general listeners believe it is a song to express the pain of loving their love.

Oh,strange to say,Rita Calypso's "The End Of The World" triggers my bittersweet memories of my unrequited love thirty four years ago.Alas,I had the similar feeling as the girl in the song does.To be frank,it is a quite natural reaction towards a failed love where one feels it is the very end of the world when his or her partner take a French leave or bids farewell,which cuts their heart into pieces,billions of pieces.

Alas,just because it was too much for me to breathe the same air she once did before going to university,I chose to leave my home for Korla so that I could lick my wounded heart secretly,silently and slowly.Oh,as the saying goes,time is a great eraser and healer,therefore my wounded heart closed up before I realized,although sometimes her image still haunts my dream with decreasing tortures but increasing wry smiles.Haha,when my only daughter came into this world almost thirty years ago,my callous heart softens so that I focus on her and my core family.Amen.

    雖然這位歌手去年離開了世界,但她已經越過了邊境,現在還不為人所知,她應該永遠在農村家庭中佔有一席之地。在她初次登臺之初,作為戴維斯姐妹第二次重組的成員之一,她本應取得巨大的發展,但她別無選擇,只能讓人們感到遺憾!故事限於篇幅,所以到此為止據說這首歌(現金箱年終冠軍)最初是作者為了紀念他死去的父親而寫的。雖然這是一種流行的風格,但它是由斯基特·戴維斯演唱的,這給了它不同的生活。
