城市的天空

家庭富有又漂亮的卡麗華有點任性，她愛上了英俊又有才華的彭佩奧，他是出色的音樂製作人和攝影師。美麗的塔麗莎是個護士，2019年六月的一天，她在舊金山的花街偶遇彭佩奧，對他一見鍾情。布林肯是彭佩奧的好朋友，塔麗莎小時候的鄰居，多年後再次相遇，他被她的美麗迷住，千方百計追求她。塔麗莎的朋友單妮卻愛上了布林肯。

2020年2月，世紀瘟疫爆發後，美國遭到了侵略，紐約疫情猶為嚴重。這幾個青年人不約而同地到了紐約當義工，卡麗華在醫院清潔衛生，塔麗莎到帳篷醫院救治病人，布林肯當貨車司機運送生活和醫療必須物資，單妮叔叔的餐館免費向兩家醫院提供免費午餐，單妮在餐館裏幫忙。而彭佩奧，拍攝紐約人抗疫情的真實生活的攝影作品，並做了一個網站展示這些作品。他還創作了一首歌曲《城市的天空》，記錄了這個曆史時刻。這首歌由網上征集普通人參與演唱，塔麗莎是其中之一。不幸，彭佩奧、卡麗華和塔麗莎先後染上瘟疫，彭佩奧治愈後捐出血漿治愈卡麗華，卡麗華的血漿治愈了塔麗莎。三個月後，這些年輕人回到了他們的家鄉舊金山再度相遇在花街……

這個故事基本貫串在主題歌《城市的空》歌詞描述的情景之中：疫情侵蝕美國的現實，美國人民互相幫助的愛的傳遞，和堅定的戰勝困難的信念，青年人的愛情纏綿……

THE SKY OF THE CITY

The wealthy and beautiful Kariva has some willful. She falls in love with the handsome and talented Pompeo, who is an excellent music producer and photographer. The beautiful Talitha is a nurse. One day in June 2019, she ran into Pompeo on Flower Street in San Francisco and fell in love with him at first sight. Brinken is a good friend of Pompeo, and he also Talitha's neighbor when she was a child, and met again many years later, he was fascinated by her beauty. Talitha's friend Danne fell in love with Brinken at first sight. In February 2020, after the outbreak of the century plague, the United States encountered aggression. The epidemic was very terrible, and New York was even more serious. These young people all went to New York to work as volunteers:  Kalihua cleaned in the hospital, Talitha went to the tent hospital to treat patients, and Blincol worked as a truck driver to transport necessary supplies for life and medical care. Uncle Shanni’s restaurant is free of charge. Free lunches were provided to two hospitals, and Danne helped in the restaurant. And Pompeo took real-life photography works of New Yorkers fighting the epidemic and made a website to display these works. He also composed the song "City Sky" to record this historical moment. This song was produced by an online collection of singing digital recordings, and Talitha is one of the singers. Unfortunately, Pompeo, Kalihua, and Talitha contracted the plague after they were cured. After Pompeo was cured, he donated plasma to cure Kariva, and Kalihua's plasma cured Talitha. Three months later, these young people returned to their hometown of San Francisco and met again in San Francisco Flower Street...

This story runs through the scene described in the lyrics of the theme song "Empty of the City": the epidemic erodes the reality of the United States, the American people help each other and the firm belief in overcoming difficulties, the sincere love grow in young people's hearts...

 

《城市的天空》歌曲創作於去年2月。時籍紐約疫情至極，紐約帝國大廈頂層，以紅白燈光在晚上亮起，向全美醫護人員致敬！歌曲創作靈感由此而來……電影劇本中、英文版《城市的天空》醞釀一年後，寫於今年4-5月……）

 

城市的天空霓虹不再閃亮，

城市的街道到處一片空蕩。

我看著窗外寒風冷雨在呼嘯，

想著你在帳篷醫院，

寫下我們心中溫暖傳遞的故事，

I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU!

 

城市的天空軍樂昂揚在回蕩，

城市的港灣星條旗在迎風飄揚。

我站在軍艦固若磐石甲板上，

你在帳篷醫院中穿梭，

唱起我們心中愛在傳遞的情歌。

I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU!

 

請你抬頭看看這個晚上的天空，

你會看到多燦爛紅白閃爍的星星，

是我們永恒凝視不變的眼睛，

是我們永遠珍藏堅定的信念！

I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU!

 

The Sky of the City

 

First verse: Male voice

Watching the city’s sky, the neon is no longer shining,

The streets of the city are empty everywhere.

I watched the cold wind and rain roaring outside the window,

Thinking of you busy at tent hospital of Central Park,

Write down a story of the warmth spread in our hearts.

I love you! I love you!

 

The military music in the sky of the city reverberates,

US flag of the city’s harbor is fluttered in the wind,

I standing on the rock-solid deck of the warship,

Thinking of you work selflessly in Central Park,

Sing the love song that the love in our hearts is connected.

I love you! I love you!

 

You just have to look up to see the sky this evening,

You will see how brilliant red and white twinkle stars.

That is eyes that we adore each other and stare at forever,

That is a firm belief that will always, always sparkle.

I love you! I love you! I love you!
