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
而今我卻在黎明獨自入眠
Sweep the streets I used to own
在曾屬於我的大道落寞徘徊
I used to roll the dice, feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
大千世界曾由我主宰,盡情品味驚恐在死敵瞳孔綻開
Listen as the crowd would sing
欣然傾聽百姓高歌喝彩
Now the old King is dead, long live the King
“先王亡矣！”“新王萬代！”
One minute I held the key
此刻我手握權位經脈
Next the walls were closed on me
轉瞬才知宮牆深似海
And I discovered that my castles stand
恍然發現我的城池
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
基底散如鹽沙亂似塵埃

聽那耶路撒冷鐘聲傳來
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
羅馬騎兵歌聲震徹山海
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
擔當我的明鏡,利劍和盾牌
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
我的傳教士屹立邊疆之外
My missionaries in a foreign field
只因一些緣由我無法釋懷
For some reason I can't explain
一旦你離開這里便不再
Once you go there was never
不再有逆耳忠言存在
Never an honest word
而這便是我統治的時代
And that was when I ruled the world
凜冽邪風呼嘯襲來

吹散重門使我深陷陰霾
It was the wicked and wild wind
斷壁殘垣禮崩樂壞
Blew down the doors to let me in
世人不敢相信我已當年不再
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
起義大軍翹首期待
People couldn't believe what I'd become
有朝一日我站上斷頭台
Revolutionaries wait
恰如傀儡隨吊線寂寞搖擺
For my head on a silver plate
悲哉,誰又曾渴望萬人膜拜？
Just a puppet on a lonely string
聽那耶路撒冷鐘聲傳來
Oh who would ever want to be king?
羅馬騎兵歌聲震徹山海

擔當我的明鏡,利劍和盾牌
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
我的傳教士屹立邊疆之外
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
只因一些緣由我無法釋懷
Be my mirror , my sword and shield
我亦知天堂之門不會為我敞開
My missionaries in a foreign field
不再有逆耳忠言存在
For some reason I can't explain
而這便是我統治的時代
I know Saint Peter won' t call my name
聽那耶路撒冷鐘聲傳來
Never an honest word
羅馬騎兵歌聲震徹山海
But that was when I ruled the world
擔當我的明鏡,利劍和盾牌
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
我的傳教士屹立邊疆之外
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
只因一些緣由我無法釋懷
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
我亦知天堂之門不會為我敞開
My missionaries in a foreign field
不再有逆耳忠言存在
For some reason I can't explain
而這便是我統治的時代
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
而這便是我統治的時代
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
But that was when I ruled the world
