A teenager suffering from an untreatable form of cancer has recorded a song to say goodbye to his friends and family after being told he has only another three months to one year to live.

在被告知只有3个月到1年的存活时间时,这位身患一种绝症的年轻人录了一首歌曲来告别朋友和家人。

Seventeen-year-old Zach Sobiech of Lakeland, Minnesota wrote the song, titled 'Clouds,' and posted a video of his studio recording on YouTube.

17岁少年扎克·索比希来自明尼苏达州雷克兰市,他写下了这首名为“白云”的歌曲,并把视频录像上传到了YouTube网站。

The video has amassed more than 412,000 views in the last 10 days.

在过去的十天内,视频点击率超过了41.2万次。

 

 

In the chorus, he sings: 'And we’ll go up, up, up, but I’ll fly a little higher. We’ll go up in the clouds, because the view is a littler nicer. Up here, my dear. It won’t be long now; it won’t be long now.'

在副歌部分,他唱到:“我们会飞得更高,更高,更高,而我要飞得再高一点。我们会飞到云朵上面,因为那里的风景会更好一点。飞到上面来吧,亲爱的。不会等很久了,很快就到了。”

Sobiech was diagnosed with osteosarcoma, a bone cancer that develops in children, in 2009 when he was 14 years old. The cancer affects just 400 people under the age of 20 each year.

2009年,14岁的索比希他被诊断出罹患骨肉癌,这是一种会在儿童身上出现的骨癌。每年全球在20岁以下的人群中,会有400个人患上这种癌症。

He was diagnosed after going to the doctor for a persistent pain in his hip, where doctors discovered he had a large tumor. Since his diagnosis, Sobiech has had dozens of surgeries including a hip replacement, as well as months of chemotherapy.

他是在臀部持续疼痛去看医生之后被诊断出癌症的,医生在他的臀部发现了一个大肿瘤。自那之后,索比希经历了一系列包括换臀在内的外科手术,还有一连好几个月的化疗。

 

 

His family has established a fund in his name - the Zach Sobiech Osteosarcoma Fund - to help raise money for his rare disease.

他的家人已经用他的名字成立了扎克·索比希基金会,募集善款希望可以治疗他罕见的疾病。

The fund awards donors of $20 or more with a copy of Zach's album, which features his song, 'Clouds.'

捐赠者只要为基金会捐赠20美元,就会获得一份扎克的音乐集,里面收录了他的歌曲“白云”。
