完整歌词 [中英]

[fold]Viva La Vida 　生命万岁

I used to rule the world

大千世界曾由我主宰


Seas would rise when I gave the word

巨浪也曾因我之令澎湃


Now in the morning I sleep alone

而今我却在黎明独自入睡


Sweep the streets I used to own

在曾属于我的大道落寞徘徊


I used to roll the dice

凡人生死曾由我主宰


Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

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

此刻我手握权杖经脉


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 are 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

“我的剑盾，明亮可鉴！”


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,

自你离去，


never an honest word

逆耳忠言便不复存在


That was when I ruled the world

而这便是我统治的时代


It was the wicked and wild wind

凛冽邪风呼啸袭来


Blew down the doors to let me in

吹散重门使我深陷阴霾


Shattered windows and the sound of drums

断壁残垣礼崩乐坏


People couldn't believe what I'd become

世人不敢相信我已当年不再


Revolutionaries wait

起义大军殷切盼望


For my head on a silver plate

有朝一日我站上断头台


Just a puppet on a lonely string

如傀儡随吊线寂寞摇摆


Oh who would ever want to be king?

悲哉，谁又曾渴望万人膜拜？


I hear Jerusalem bells are 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

“我的剑盾，明亮可鉴！”


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


I know Saint Peter won't call my name

我亦知天堂之门不会为我敞开


Never an honest word

逆耳忠言从未存在


But that was when I ruled the world

但这却是我统治的时代[/fold]
