Viva La Vida

生命万岁

I used to rule the world

我曾主宰这世间

Seas would rise when I gave the word

一语可号令江海

Now in the morning I sleep alone

今晨却只能独自醒来

Sweep the streets I used to own

望着易主的街道徒然感慨

I used to roll the dice

我曾掷骰处置败敌

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

享受着他眼中的恐惧

Listen as the crowd would sing

人群山呼 响彻耳畔

"Now the old king is dead! Long

live the king!"

先皇已死 新君登基！

One minute I held the key

片刻前我还权柄在握

Next the walls were closed on me

下一秒便身困囹圄

And I discovered that my castles stand

这才发现我的城堡

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

不过是盐沙筑成的根基

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

我听到耶路撒冷的钟

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

和罗马骑兵团的唱颂

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

传道者们 做我的镜 剑和盾

My missionaries in a foreign field

带着使命远赴南北西东

For some reason I can't explain

是什么原因我很难解释

Once you go there was never

自你离去，正直与诚实

Never an honest word

也从我身边消失

And that was when I ruled the world

我独坐王座时 形单影只

It was the wicked and wild wind

诡谲的寒风怒号

Blew down the doors to let me in

直把我吹进深牢

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

破窗中传来震天鼓声

People couldn't believe what I'd become

谁能想到我还有今遭

Revolutionaries wait

革命者等着我的下场

For my head on a silver plate

将我的头颅用银盘盛装

Just a puppet on a lonely string

我不过是一具扯线傀儡

Oh who would ever want to be king?

落至这步田地 谁还会愿意做君王

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

连最忠诚的仆从也会从身边消失

Never an honest word

从此再没有正直与诚实

But that was when I ruled the world

我独坐王座时 形单影只

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

我听到耶路撒冷的钟

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

和罗马骑兵团的唱颂

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

传道者们 做我的镜 剑和盾

My missionaries in a foreign field
