《Viva La Vida》
歌手：Coldplay
I used to rule the world,
我曾一度君临天下，
Seas would rise when I gave the word.
海潮也会应我的指令而升起。
Now in the morning I sleep alone,
而今我在清晨时分独自躺卧，
Sweep the streets I used to own.
洒扫我曾经拥有的街道巷陌。
I used to roll the dice,
我曾一度掌握主动，
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes.
感受敌人眼里的惶恐。
Listen as the crowd would sing:
倾听人群中高声唱到：
Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!
老王驾崩！新君万寿！
One minute I held the key,
一分钟我持有着钥匙，
Next the walls were closed on me.
下一刻高墙将我封闭。
And I discovered that my castles stand,
我发现我的城堡耸立，
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand.
依靠着盐与沙的柱子。
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing,
我听见耶路撒冷钟声一响，
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing:
罗马骑兵唱诗班齐声歌唱：
Be my mirror my sword and shield,
做我的镜子、我的盾和剑，
My missionaries in a foreign field.
我的传教士们在异国他乡。
For some reason I can't explain,
出于某种原由我无法解释，
Once you go there was never, never an honest word,
凡你所至未曾有片语真实，
That was when I ruled the world.
那便是我统领着世界之时。
It was the wicked and wild wind,
它是恶劣与狂野的风，
Blew down the doors to let me in,
吹倒了大门让我进入，
Shattered windows and the sound of drums.
破碎了窗户声响如鼓。
People couldn't believe what I'd become,
人们不相信我所成就，
Revolutionaries wait,
起义者们翘首等候，
For my head on a silver plate.
将我的头置于银盘。
Just a puppet on a lonely string,
吊线上孤单的木偶，
Oh, who would ever want to be king?
哦，谁还愿做君主？
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing,
我听见耶路撒冷钟声一响，
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing:
罗马骑兵唱诗班齐声歌唱：
Be my mirror my sword and shield,
做我的镜子、我的盾和剑，
My missionaries in a foreign field.
我的传教士们在异国他乡。
For some reason I can't explain,
出于某种原由我无法解释，
I know Saint Peter will call my name.
我知道圣彼得将唤我的名。
Never an honest word,
未曾有片语真实，
But that was when I ruled the world.
那却是我统领着世界之时。
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing,
我听见耶路撒冷钟声一响，
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing:
罗马骑兵唱诗班齐声歌唱：
Be my mirror my sword and shield,
做我的镜子、我的盾和剑，
My missionaries in a foreign field.
我的传教士们在异国他乡。
For some reason I can't explain,
出于某种原由我无法解释，
I know Saint Peter will call my name.
我知道圣彼得将唤我的名。
Never an honest word,
未曾有片语真实，
But that was when I ruled the world.
那却是我统领着世界之时。
