词条 史琪特·戴维丝
释义

美国歌手史琪特·戴维丝(Skeeter Davis)史琪特·戴维丝(1931年12月30日——2004年9月19日),原名玛丽·弗朗西丝·佩尼克(Mary Frances Penick),是美国著名的女乡村音乐歌手,她最著名的金曲是1963年的"The End of the World"。

史琪特出生在肯塔基州干岭市(Dry Ridge),是家中七个子女中的长女。早年和贝蒂·杰克·戴维丝(Betty Jack Davis)组成戴维丝姐妹乐队(The Davis Sisters)。1953年8月2日,贝蒂·杰克·戴维丝车祸去世后,史琪特·戴维丝走上了她个人的演唱道路。史琪特·戴维丝一生共获得过5次格林美提名,并在1964,1965,1967和1972年4次荣获格莱美乡村最佳女歌手大奖。2004年9月19日史琪特·戴维丝因乳腺癌在纳什维尔去世,享年72岁。

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》选择《the end of the world》作为片尾曲,直抵人心的伤感 。

《The End Of The World》

Why does the sun go on shining? / 太阳为何依然照耀

Why does the sea rush to shore? / 海浪为何拍打着岩岸

Don't they know it's the end of the world? / 难道它们不知道这是世界末日

'Cause you don't love me anymore / 因为你不再爱我了

Why do the birds go on singing? / 鸟儿为何依然歌唱

Why do the stars glow above? / 星星为何在天上闪耀

Don't they know it's the end of the world? / 难道它们不知道这是世界末日

It ended when I lost your love / 当我失去了你的爱

I wake up in the morning / 当我清晨醒来

And I wonder why everything's the same as it was / 纳闷着为何一切如常

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

Don't they know it's the end of the world? / 难道它们不知道这是世界末日

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

另:补充推荐Davis的另一首歌曲,和最近(2010年1月)上演的电影《分手信》有点关联,与Bobby Bare合作

歌名:a Dear John letter

歌词:

[ Skeeter ]

Dear John oh how I hate to write

dear John I must let you know tonight

That my love for you has died away like grass upon the lawn

And tonight I wed another dear John

[ Bobby ]

I was overseas in battle when the postman came to me

He handed me a letter and I was just as happy as I could be

Cause the fighting was all over and the battles have all been won

But then I opened up the letter and that started dear John

Won't you please send back my picture my husband wants it now

When I tell you who I'm wedding you won't care dear anyhow

And it hurts me so to tell ye that my love for you has gone

But tonight I wed your brother dear John

[ Skeeter ]

And tonight I wed another dear John
