Coldplay - Viva La Vida
Viva La Vida
生命万岁
I used to rule the world
我曾是这个世界的主宰
Seas would rise when I gave the word
海洋亦遵从我的旨意而分开
Now in the morning I sleep alone
而今我却像幽灵一般游荡
Sweep the streets I used to own
徘徊在我建立的条条框框之上
I used to roll the dice
世上所有权力曾由我一人掌握
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
敌人恐惧的目光时时紧盯于我
Listen as the crowd would sing:
只听到愚蠢的小民常常高唱赞歌
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
“旧王已矣，新王永世！”
One minute I held the key
人人都起誓世上的权柄全归于我
Next the walls were closed on me
他们却哭泣着将我锁于高墙之内
And I discovered that my castles stand
而那光芒万丈的神祗
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
却是建立在谎言和虚无之上
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
我听到耶路撒冷的圣钟为我而轰鸣
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑兵四处传诵我的奇迹
Be my mirror my sword and shield
你们就是我的真理、生命、道路
My missionaries in a foreign field
那些代我泽被苍生的信徒们
For some reason I can't explain
我不会告诉你们为什么
Once you go there was never,never an honest word
但如果你们发觉世上再也无半点真知灼见
That was when I ruled the world
我将再临末世将众生拯救
It was the wicked and wild wind
那时会有一阵狂烈的暴风
Blew down the doors to let me in
击碎所有紧闭的城府从而让我驾临
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
你们眼前的世界将会伴着擂动的战鼓而支离破碎
People couldn't believe what I'd become
那时我将会以不可置信的面目出现在你们的面前
Revolutionaries wait
那些撒旦的信徒随时都在等待
For my head on a silver plate
将盛着我的头颅银盘献于祭坛之上
Just a puppet on a lonely string
一切主宰之名皆为过眼烟云
Oh who would ever want to be king?
谁愿担当皆是枉然
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
我听到耶路撒冷的声中为我而轰鸣
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑兵四处传诵我的奇迹
Be my mirror my sword and shield
你们就是我的真理、生命、道路
My missionaries in a foreign field
那些代我泽被苍生的信徒们
For some reason I can't explain
我不会告诉你们为什么
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
但我知道圣彼得依然不敢与我相认
Never an honest word
世上再无真知灼见之时
But that was when I ruled the world
我将再临末世将众生拯救
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
我听到耶路撒冷的声中为我而轰鸣
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑兵四处传诵我的奇迹
Be my mirror my sword and shield
你们就是我的真理、生命、道路
My missionaries in a foreign field
那些代我泽被苍生的信徒们
For some reason I can't explain
我不会告诉你们为什么
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
但我知道圣彼得依然不敢与我相认
Never an honest word
世上再无真知灼见之时
But that was when I ruled the world
我将再临末世将众生拯救
