Viva la Vida - Coldplay
Written by:Christopher Anthony John Martin&Guy Rupert Berryman&William Champion&Jonathan Mark Buckland
I used to rule the world
大千世界曾由我主宰
Seas would rise when I gave the word
巨浪也曾因我之命澎湃
Now in the morning I sleep alone
而如今我在黎明独自入眠
Sweep the streets I used to own
在曾属于我的街道上落寞徘徊
I used to roll the dice
凡人生死曾由我主宰
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
尽情品味惊恐在死敌眼中绽开
Listen as the crowd would sing
欣然倾听百姓高声喝彩
Now the old king is dead
先王亡矣
Long live the king
新王万代
One minute I held the key
我曾掌握权位命脉
Next the walls were closed on me
转身才知宫墙深似海
And I discovered that my castles stand
恍然发现我的城池
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
基底散如盐乱似沙
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
听那耶路撒冷钟声传来
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑兵高歌震彻山海
Be my mirror my sword and shield
担当我的明镜 利剑和盾牌
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的传教士屹立于边疆之外
For some reason I can't explain
只因一些缘由我无法释怀
Once you go there was never
当你离开这里便不再
Never an honest word
不再有忠言逆耳存在
But that was when I ruled the world
但这便是我统治的时代
It was the wicked and wild wind
凛冽邪风呼啸袭来
Blew down the doors to let me in
吹散重门让我深陷迷雾
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
破碎的窗户和钟鼓之声
People couldn't believe what I'd become
人们不敢相信我已当年不再
Revolutionaries wait
起义的大军翘首以待
For my head on a silver plate
有朝一日我走上断头台
Just a puppet on a lonely string
恰似傀儡在细线上随风摇摆
Oh who would ever want to be king
悲哉 谁又曾渴望万人膜拜
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
听那耶路撒冷钟声传来
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑兵高歌震彻山海
Be my mirror my sword and shield
担当我的明镜 利剑和盾牌
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的传教士屹立于边疆之外
For some reason I can't explain
只因一些缘由我无法释怀
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
我深知天堂之门不会为我敞开
Never an honest word
不再有忠言逆耳存在
But that was when I ruled the world
但这便是我统治的时代
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
听那耶路撒冷钟声传来
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑兵高歌震彻山海
Be my mirror my sword and shield
担当我的明镜 利剑和盾牌
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的传教士屹立于边疆之外
For some reason I can't explain
只因一些缘由我无法释怀
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
我深知天堂之门不会为我敞开
Never an honest word
不再有忠言逆耳存在
But that was when I ruled the world
但这便是我统治的时代
