Fight the Virus

抗击病毒

A parody of Simon & Garfunkel's “Sound of Silence” by Alvin Oon

改编自西蒙和加芬克尔的《寂静之声》——阿尔·文恩

Hello virus from Wuhan

Another problem's here again

Because you see the contagion creeping

And the virus is indeed spreading

And the memory of SARS planted in my brain still remains

We stand and fight the virus

We hear of theories how it grew

From snakes and bats became a flu

Passing the sickness from man to man

Now it's growing, getting out of hand

It's a virus that has travelled near and far

Corona

We have to fight the virus

And in the latest news I saw

Ten thousand people maybe more

People falling sick with much coughing

People falling ill with much sneezing

People worried for their health and their ones so dear

Pneumonia

We keep the fight the virus

Keep your hands clean always know

Hygiene will stop that virus grow

When you sneeze cover with a tissue

Even coughing just let me teach you

Wear a mask if you're sick

So that others won't get it too

We count on you to help to fight the virus

Together we must overcome

To beat this virus fight as one

For a life of health and harmony

It's in our hands

It's up to you and me

For the health of our land

Of our friends and family

Humanity

Will win this fight the virus

歌曲背景

这首歌曲的演唱者Alvin Oon是一位新加坡华人，致力于在新加坡音乐界推广海峡华人的音乐与文化。他最近在脸书上推出了这首改编曲，推出之后，在24小时内传遍亚洲，包括泰国和菲律宾等国家。

这首歌用的是1965年《寂静之声》的曲调，并且仿照了原唱者西蒙和加芬克尔的合声，部分歌词和格律跟原曲相同。不过，改编曲主要是说武汉肺炎疫情，歌词提醒民众如何做好个人防护，并呼吁大家共同努力防堵病毒。

Alvin Oon希望在受到疫情影响的国家，这首歌能给民众带来欢乐、希望与鼓励。

武汉加油！
