Viva La Vida (Radio Edit)

I used to rule the world
我曾統治世界
Seas would rise when I gave the word
只要我號令海水便會升起
Now in the morning I sleep alone
但如今的早晨只剩我獨自環顧四周
Sweep the streets I used to own
環視每條曾經屬於我的街道
I used to roll the dice
過去只要我轉動手中的骰子
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
就能感受到敵人眼中的恐懼
Listened as the crowd would sing:
聽著人民傳頌著
"Now the old king is dead!
舊王朝被推翻了！
Long live the king!
新王萬歲！
One minute I held the key
前一刻我還握著世界在手中
Next the walls were closed on me
下刻它卻消失在我手中
And I discovered that my castles stand
原來我所豎立的城堡
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand
只是不堪一擊的砂城
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
我聽見耶路撒冷的鐘聲響起
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
羅馬的騎兵唱詩班正在吟唱著
Be my mirror my sword and shield
請成為我的鏡子 我的刀與盾
Missionaries in a foreign field
我的傳教士流亡在外
For some reason I can't explain
我無法解釋原因為何
Once you'd gone there was never,
一旦离开这里永不
never an honest word
永不再有有忠言存在
That was when I ruled the world
那就是我曾經統治的世界
It was the wicked and wild wind
當時刮起邪惡的狂風
Blew down the doors to let me in
吹垮所有入口的城門讓我進入
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
窗戶上震碎的玻璃 發出陣陣巨響
People couldn't believe what I'd become
人民無法置信我成為他們的國王
Revolutionaries wait
革命者伺機而動
For my head on a silver plate
等著我的頭顱作為祭品
Just a puppet on a lonely string
我只是綁著一條細弦的傀儡
Oh who would ever wanna be king?
噢 試問其實誰真的想做國王呢
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
我聽見耶路撒冷的鐘聲響起
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
羅馬的騎兵唱詩班正在吟唱著
Be my mirror my sword and shield
請成為我的鏡子 我的刀與盾
Missionaries in a foreign field
我的傳教士流亡在外
For some reason I can't explain
我無法解釋原因為何
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
我知道連聖彼得都不願提起我的名子
Never an honest word
不曾有過真誠兩個字
But that was when I ruled the world
但那就是我曾經統治的世界
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
我聽見耶路撒冷的鐘聲響起
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
羅馬的騎兵唱詩班正在吟唱著
Be my mirror my sword and shield
請成為我的鏡子 我的刀與盾
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的傳教士流亡在外
For some reason I can't explain
我無法解釋原因為何
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
我知道連聖彼得都不願提起我的名子
Never an honest word
不曾有過真誠兩個字
But that was when I ruled the world
但那就是我曾經統治的世界
