Viva La Vida

I used to rule the world
我曾统领世界
Seas would rise when I gave the word
大海也听我号令起落咆哮
Now in the morning I sleep alone
如今清晨独眠
Sweep the streets I used to own
扫视曾属于我的街巷
I used to roll the dice
我曾经指点江山
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
敌人都对我畏惧三分
Listen as the crowd would sing
臣民纷纷高歌：
“Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!”
“先帝亡矣，吾王万岁！”
One minute I held the keys
彼一时大权在手
Next the doors were closed on me
此一刻身陷围墙
And I discovered that my castles stand
幡然醒悟，原来我的城堡
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand
不过建于盐柱沙椿之上
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
我听见耶路撒冷的钟声在回荡
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马的骁骑军歌嘹亮
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
去吧，做我的明镜、宝剑与盾牌
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的传教士踏上异国
For some reason I can't explain
无法解释其中缘由
Once you go there was never
自你离去，我便再未
Never an honest word
再未听过只字真言
But that was when I ruled the world
但那就是我统领世界的岁月
It was a wicked and wild wind
凶煞狂风袭来
Blew down the doors to let me in
冲破重门，我被裹挟而入
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
窗棂散碎，鼓声隆隆
People couldn't believe what I'd become
无人能料及我今日结局
Revolutionaries wait
改革者虎视眈眈
For my head on a silver plate
誓要将我的头颅放上银盘
Just a puppet on a lonely string
其实我不过是个命悬一线的傀儡
Oh who would ever wanna be king?
念及如此，孰愿为君？
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
我听见耶路撒冷的钟声在回荡
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马的骁骑军歌嘹亮
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
去吧，做我的明镜、宝剑与盾牌
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的传教士踏上异国
For some reason I can't explain
无法解释其中缘由
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
我深知圣彼得将召唤我名
Never an honest word
从未听闻只字真言
But that was when I ruled the world
但那就是我统领世界的岁月
For some reason I can't explain
无法解释其中缘由
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
我深知圣彼得将召唤我名
Never an honest word
从未听闻只字真言
But that was when I ruled the world
但那就是我统领世界的岁月
