Chapter 129: A Sorrowful Man's Plea for Help
The doctors' rescue was timely.
Luckily, they won a temporary victory in the battle against the Grim Reaper, saving the girl's life.
After hearing "the operation was successful", Lu Yao and Alice breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"Great!"
"Thank you, doctors, and nurses, for your hard work!"
Lu Yao said sincerely.
The girl's parents also excitedly stepped forward to thank the doctors and nurses.
But they haven't forgotten Lu Yao and Alice.
"Thank you too. Thank you for your interest in my daughter, thank you for being with her in the hospital! Thank you for praying for her!"
Hearing the translation from Alice, Lu Yao hurriedly waved his hand.
"We didn't do anything!"
Although he hoped that their prayers would have a purpose, it was only psychological comfort.
The real credit still belongs to the medical staff.
"Can we go in and see her?" asked Alice.
The doctor nodded, "Yes!"
In the ward, the girl's face was a little haggard.
Seeing Lu Yao and Alice coming in, she smiled.
Seeing the tired smile on her face, Lu Yao's mood was a little heavy.
Because he has learned that although the girl was rescued this time, she will not live long.
At most, there is only half a year to live.
Alice was also sad.
She gently took the girl's hand and talked to her.
Although the two of them were communicating in French, Lu Yao couldn't understand it at all, but from the expression on her face, he probably guessed that Alice was encouraging this strong girl.
She even left contact information with the girl.
At the end of the visit, they left the ward and returned to the hotel.
The mood is a little sad.
"You know, Lu? That girl, Josephine, told me: you and I are her favorite musician right now, and she really wants to see us work together on stage. ”
Alice said to Lu Yao. "Actually, I don't think it's so much trouble.
Or, now, you can create a song that you play with four hands, which sounds like it will give her strength and encourage her to fight her illness.
Let's play her a video call on our mobile phone, how about we?"
"What?"
Lu Yao was a little dumbfounded.
Although he wanted to fulfill Josephine's wish, he could not improvise a four-hand song that met the current requirements.
He also remembered some of the tunes played by the four hands.
For example, "The Secret That Can't Be Said".
But not for this scenario.
He wanted to refuse, but he didn't know how to speak.
Then he had an idea.
"That's it, Alice. He came up with a suitable solution: "You probably don't know, but creating piano music is not my forte......
"???" Alice frowned when she heard this, as if she was looking at a great liar of the century. "Sorry, you're saying: you can't compose?"
"Well, in fact, my real identity is a director. Playing the piano, singing, and composing lyrics are just one of my hobbies. ”
"And then?"
"I think we can do this: I think of a song I heard before, the lyrics are very suitable for Josephine's current situation, and you can help me translate it into French.
Then, you come and play the piano accompaniment for me, and I will sing!"
Alice thinks this is a feasible solution.
Because when collecting information about him, she also listened to Lu Yao's songs.
There is one thing to say: Lu Yao sings better than her.
After all, she is better at playing the piano than singing.
"Yes, let's do it!"
Lu Yao immediately wrote the song in his mind and translated it into English.
Then give it to Alice, who will translate it into French.
Of course, Alice's translation will be somewhat different from the original.
But soon before Lu Yao, a French song was completed.
A Sorrowful Man's Plea for Help.
Original Singer: French Musician Gregory?? Le Martial.
He was ill from an early age and died in 2007.
Lu Yao's contact with this song is a cover from Kazakh singer Di Mahi in "I Am a Singer".
The tone of Dimahi's version is quite high.
Before the crossing, his voice was not as good as his current body, so he sang the original version.
Today, he has opted for the Dimahi version.
For accompaniment, he didn't spend too long composing.
As a piano maestine, Alice is also very good at improvising accompaniment.
After reading the song score, she said: There is nothing wrong with the accompaniment, Lu Yao just sings.
So the two of them went to the piano in the hall on the first floor again.
This time, there was no one to grab the position.
Alice took out her phone and dialed Josephine's video call.
"Hi Josephine, it's us.
Didn't you say you wanted to see me and Lu Yao perform on the same stage? Now it's just for you - he made a song for you, I will accompany you, and he will sing it. Are you ready?"
"Really, I'm so happy!"
Josephine screamed excitedly.
Alice smiled slightly, handed the phone to the pre-arranged waiter, and asked him to help hold it and maintain the call.
Then, a slightly sad prelude sounded.
Lu Yao closed his eyes and inhaled deeply.
“Pourquoi je vis, pourquoi je meurs
Why to live and why to die
Pourquoi je ris, pourquoi je pleure
Why do you rejoice and why do you cry
Voici le .S.
This is a distress signal
d'un terrien en détresse
A cry for help from a sorrowful man
J'ai jamais eu les pieds sur terre
My heart has never really been at ease
J'aimerais mieux être un oiseau
I'd rather be a free-flying bird
Je suis mal dans ma peau
Beneath the skin is a real pain
Je voudrais voir le monde à l'envers
I fantasize about the world and turn my gaze upside down
Si jamais c'était plus beau
If so, she may be more beautiful than before
Plus beau vu d'en haut
Looking down, the sky shone brightly
……”
His transliteration of French alone is not standard.
In fact, Di Mahi, who sang a cover of "I Am a Singer", also sang fake French.
It has been criticized by many people who know French for not having a standard pronunciation.
However, this does not prevent his singing skills and the beauty of the song itself.
The same goes for Lu Yao.
……
In the ward, Josephine, who was in front of the mobile phone screen, watched the performance of the two people and burst into tears.
She never thought that Lu Yao would compose a song specifically for her.
And it's with Alice playing for her.
As an ordinary fan, she feels so lucky.
Her parents, nurses, and even other patients were drawn to the beautiful sound of the piano and singing.
"God, this voice is so touching!"
"It's a natural sound!"
“……”
From Lu Yao's affectionate singing, they heard the regret and sorrow for the life that was about to pass, as well as the unwilling struggle.
“J'ai toujours confondu la vie
And I always put reality
Avec les bandes dessinées
Confused with fairy tale fantasies
J'ai comme des envies de metamorphose
I aspire to have the ability to shapeshift
Je sens quelque chose
I feel things that others can't
Qui m'attire
Who is pulling me?
Qui m'attire
Who is guiding me?
Qui m'attire vers le haut
Take me to the lonely heights."
When the high note of "vers le haut" is sung, both ends of the phone vibrate at the same time.
On Lu Yao's side, all the diners in the restaurant held their breath and did not dare to make a sound.
Here in the ward, everyone's eyes widened.
This, can he make such a loud voice?!
It's incredible!
“Au grand loto de l'univers
The world is like a giant casino
J'ai pas tiré le bon numéro
I didn't have the chips to win
Je suis mal dans ma peau
Beneath the skin is a real pain
J'ai pas envie d'être un robot
I don't want to be a numb person
Métro, boulot, do
Work and rest at work"
Singing this, Lu Yao remembered himself in his previous life.
At that time, as a nurse in the hospital, he was used to seeing life and death.
Fortunately, in addition to work, he also has a passion for music every day.
The live broadcast after work, interacting with fans, made him a little less numb.
Until his parents died of illness one after another.
He was used to seeing death in the hospital, but he no longer had the calmness he faced with death.
After all, the deaths he had seen before were all strangers who had nothing to do with him.
And now, it is the parents who gave birth to him and raised him!
In the interval between the accompaniments, the corners of his eyes involuntarily glistened with tears.
He suddenly began to re-examine the first thing he had done when he first came into this world.
occupied Tong Yao's body, but followed Tong Chenggang's words and severed the father-son relationship with him, is it too cruel for Tong Chenggang?
……
“Pourquoi je vis, pourquoi je meurs
Why to live and why to die
Pourquoi je ris, pourquoi je pleure
Why do you rejoice and why do you cry
Voici le .S.
This is a distress signal
d'un terrien en détresse
A cry for help from a sorrowful man
J'ai jamais eu les pieds sur terre
My heart has never really been at ease
J'aimerais mieux être un oiseau
I'd rather be a free-flying bird
Je suis mal dans ma peau
Beneath the skin is a real pain
Je voudrais voir le monde à l'envers
I fantasize about the world and turn my gaze upside down
Si jamais c'était plus beau
If so, she may be more beautiful than before
Plus beau vu d'en haut~
Let me look down~"
Josephine sat up from the hospital bed abruptly!
Stand up to all!
This shocking high note made them stunned and worshipped!
The treble is also a way to express emotions, it is not important how much the treble of a song is, it is important to integrate with the whole song, and the emotional treble is also essential in the song.
This version of Di Mahi, with the treble at hand, is natural, not just a show-off, but uses the high and low notes as material to make the story more vivid, both skillful and full of emotion, which has no impact on the overall structural integrity of the song.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have received so much praise at the time.
Now, with Tong Yao's singing talent, coupled with his own understanding, Lu Yao has integrated with Josephine's story to perfectly replicate Di Mahi's singing.
It was inevitable that the audience would be shocked.
In their fiery worship, Lu Yao slowly and softly sang the last line:
“Dodo l'enfant do
Sleep peacefully like a child"
After singing a song, everything is silent.
Josephine, who was empathetic, could no longer control her emotions and tears welled up in her eyes.
Because she has been fighting against death, she can hear the feelings contained in this song.
Helpless, struggling, and wanting to get out of the situation, it is the same as her inner feelings.
As the lyrics say:
The world is like a giant casino, but she has lost the winning chips.
Eventually, she will sleep peacefully like a child.
As when it came.
But in the process, she really tried and struggled, fantasizing about becoming a winged and free bird, overlooking this beautiful world.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu Yao!"
She thanked her silently.
