世界末日 The End Of The World

史琪特·戴维丝1963年演唱的的《the end of the world》（世界末日）被评为当年最受欢迎的歌曲，被无数人翻唱过，但无人能及她原唱的魅力，这首歌也是她唯一的传世之作。2009年的电影《美国情事》(An Amercian affair) 选择《the end of the world》作为片尾曲，直抵人心的伤感 。

I can't understand, no I can't understand / 我无法了解，我真的无法了解
How life goes on the way it does / 生命怎会像往常一样运行
Why does my heart go on beating? / 我的心为何仍在跳动
Why do these eyes of mine cry? / 我的双眼为何在流泪

It ended when you said goodbye / 当你说再见的时候
