Viva La Vida

生命萬歲

I used to rule the world

我曾主宰這世間

Seas would rise when I gave the word

一語可號令江海

Now in the morning I sleep alone

今晨卻只能獨自醒來

Sweep the streets I used to own

望著易主的街道徒然感慨

I used to roll the dice

我曾擲骰處置敗敵

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

享受著他眼中的恐懼

Listen as the crowd would sing

人群山呼 響徹耳畔

"Now the old king is dead! Long

live the king!"

先皇已死 新君登基！

One minute I held the key

片刻前我還權柄在握

Next the walls were closed on me

下一秒便身困囹圄

And I discovered that my castles stand

這才發現我的城堡

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

不過是鹽沙筑成的根基

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

傳道者們 做我的鏡 劍和盾

My missionaries in a foreign field

帶著使命遠赴南北西東

For some reason I can't explain

是什么原因我很難解釋

Once you go there was never

自你離去，正直與誠實

Never an honest word

也從我身邊消失

And that was when I ruled the world

我獨坐王座時 形單影只

It was the wicked and wild wind

詭譎的寒風怒號

Blew down the doors to let me in

直把我吹進深牢

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

破窗中傳來震天鼓聲

People couldn't believe what I'd become

誰能想到我還有今遭

Revolutionaries wait

革命者等著我的下場

For my head on a silver plate

將我的頭顱用銀盤盛裝

Just a puppet on a lonely string

我不過是一具扯線傀儡

Oh who would ever want to be king?

落至這步田地 誰還會愿意做君王

Never an honest word

從此再沒有正直與誠實

But that was when I ruled the world

我獨坐王座時 形單影只

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

我聽到耶路撒冷的鐘

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
