生命最后3个月 美国癌症少年写歌道别

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。

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.
