Viva la Vida

I used to rule the world
大千世界曾由我主宰
Seas would rise when I gave the word
巨浪也曾因我之命澎湃
Now in the morning I sleep alone
而今我却在黎明独自入眠
Sweep the streets I used to own
在曾属于我的大道落寞徘徊
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
听那耶路撒冷钟声传来
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑兵歌声震彻山海
Be my mirror my sword and shield
担当我的明镜，利剑和盾牌
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的传教士屹立边疆之外
For some reason I can't explain
只因一些缘由我无法释怀
Once you go there was never
一旦你离开这里便不再，不再有逆耳忠言存在
Never an honest word
不再有逆耳忠言存在
And that was when I ruled the world
这是我统治世界的时候
I used to roll the dice feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
凡人生死曾由我主宰，尽情品味惊恐在死敌瞳孔绽开
Listen as the crowd would sing
欣然倾听百姓高歌喝彩：
Now the old king is dead long live the king
“先王亡矣！新王万代！”
One minute I held the key
此刻我手握权位经脉
Next the walls were closed on me
转瞬才知宫墙深似海
And I discovered that my castles stand
恍然发现我的城池
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
基底散如盐沙乱似尘埃
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
听那耶路撒冷钟声传来
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑兵歌声震彻山海
Be my mirror my sword and shield
担当我的明镜，利剑和盾牌
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的传教士屹立边疆之外
For some reason I can't explain
只因一些缘由我无法释怀
Once you go there was never
一旦你离开这里便不再，不再有逆耳忠言存在
Never an honest word
不再有逆耳忠言存在
And that was when I ruled the world
这是我统治世界的时候
