Urbs is the nominative singular of a third declension noun and luctuum is the genitive plural of the fourth declension noun "luctus", which means lamentation, grief etc. Otherwise you could use "civitas" for city. And if you really want lamentationes, they would need to be in the genitive case, lamentationum.

Ah well I was close. I suck at Latin anyways, LOL.....well, I do now that I'm old. As a kid I totally rocked it (grandma made me, silly Catholics) and Mexican Spanish
We should form a Latin club. That would be cool.
