Coldplay - Viva la Vida
I used to rule the world 我曾經統治這個世界
Seas would rise when I gave the word 海水漲潮當我發出號令
Now in the morning I sweep alone 現在清晨我獨自清掃
Sweep the streets I used to own 清掃我曾經擁有的街道
I used to roll the dice 我曾經投擲骰子
Feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes 感覺到敵人眼中的恐懼
Listen as the crowd would sing: 也曾聽到謠言中唱:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" "現在老國王死了,國王萬歲!"
One minute I held the key 前一分鐘我還持有鑰匙
Next the walls were closed on me 下一分鐘城墻就在我面前緊閉
And I discovered that my castles stand 我發現我那聳立的城堡Upon pillars of song, pillars of sand 之上是用鹽和沙砌成的柱子
I hear Jerusalem’s bell’s ringing 我聽到耶路撒冷的鐘聲響起
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing 羅馬騎兵唱詩班傳來歌聲
Be my mirror my sword and shield 讓它成為我的鏡子,我的盾與劍
My missionaries in a foreign field 我的傳教士門仍在異國的戰場
For some reason I can not explain 出于某種原因我無法解釋
Once you know there was never, never an honest word 一但你走了,那里永遠不會有一句誠實的話語
That was when I ruled the world 那就是我統治這個世界的時刻

It was the wicked and wild wind 這是一個邪惡且野性的狂風
Blew down the doors to let me in. 刮倒了大門讓我進入
Shattered windows and the sound of drums 粉碎的窗戶與擊鼓的聲音
People could not believe what I’d become 人們不能相信我將成為什么
Revolutionaries Wait 革命的等待
For my head on a silver plate 為了將我的頭顱盛在銀色的盤子上
Just a puppet on a lonely string 只是在寂寞繩索上的一個木偶
Oh who would ever want to be king? 啊,誰真的愿意成為國王?

I hear Jerusalem’s bell’s ringing 我聽到耶路撒冷的鐘聲響起
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing 羅馬騎兵唱詩班傳來歌聲
Be my mirror my sword and shield 讓它成為我的鏡子,我的盾與劍
My missionaries in a foreign field 我的傳教士門仍在異國的戰場
For some reason I can not explain 出于某種原因我無法解釋
I know Saint Peter will call my name 我知道圣人比德將會呼喚我的名字
Never an honest word 永遠沒有誠實的話語
But that was when I ruled the world 但那就是當我通知這個世界的時刻
Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
Hear Jerusalem’s bell’s ringing 我聽到耶路撒冷的鐘聲響起
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing 羅馬騎兵唱詩班傳來歌聲
Be my mirror my sword and shield 讓它成為我的鏡子,我的盾與劍
My missionaries in a foreign field 我的傳教士門仍在異國的戰場
For some reason I can not explain 出于某種原因我無法解釋
I know Saint Peter will call my name 我知道圣人比德將會呼喚我的名字
Never an honest word 永遠沒有誠實的話語
But that was when I ruled the world 但那就是當我通知這個世界的時刻
