《世界末日“The end of the world”》萨克斯独奏
(词曲:Arther Kent,Sylvia Dee)
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 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?
It ended when you said good-bye.
太阳为何依然照耀?
海浪为何拍打著岩岸?
难道它们不知道这是世界末日?
因为你不再爱我了!
鸟儿为何依然歌唱?
星星为何在天上闪烁?
当我失去了你的爱!
当我清晨醒来,纳闷着为何一切如常。
我无法了解,我真的无法了解,生命怎会像往常一样运行?!
我的心儿为何仍在跳动?
我的双眼为何仍在流泪?
当你说再见的时候!
《The end of the world》是一首广受欢迎的爵士乐歌曲,曾经荣登《钱柜(Cashbox)》杂志1963年度的年终排行榜冠军宝座。这首曲子的作者因为自己深爱的父亲逝世,深受打击,恍如世界末日降临一般,因此而创作出了这首歌曲。但是,从内容与旋律看来,这首曲子更像是一首失恋的情歌。哀伤婉转的旋律,催人泪下的歌词,十足刻画出了一位失恋的落寞失意人的彷徨伤感无助的心理。以他人之酒杯,浇自己之块垒。这是属于我的安魂曲。
