album: Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends (2008)
I used to rule the world
我曾經統治世界
Seas would rise when I gave the word
當我說話時海洋因我升起
Now in the morning I sweep alone
現在早上我獨自的打掃
Sweep the streets I used to own
打掃曾經屬於我的街道
I used to roll the dice
我曾經搖著骰子(來決定他人生死)
Feel the fear in my enemy s eyes
從敵人的眼裡感覺到恐懼
Listen as the crowd would sing:
聽著群眾唱著
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
舊王已死 新王萬歲
One minute I held the key
從那ㄧ刻起 我掌握了權力
Next the walls were closed on me
下ㄧ刻城牆把我禁錮
And I discovered that my castles stand
我發現我的城堡矗立在
Upon pillars of salt, and pillars of sand
在鹽樑和沙柱上
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
我聽見耶路薩冷的鐘聲
Roman calvary choirs are singing
羅馬騎兵唱詩班正唱著
Be my mirror my sword and shield
當吾鏡 吾劍 吾盾
My missionaries in a foreign field
我異國的傳教士
For some reason I can t explain
一些理由我無法去解釋
Once you know there was never, never an honest word
當你離開後 我就不曾聽到隻字真言
That was when I ruled the world
這就是我所統治的世界
(Ohhh)
It was the wicked and wild wind
狂暴的風
Blew down the doors to let me in
吹垮了門為了讓我進去
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
啪啪作響的窗 與鼓聲
People couldn t believe what I d become
人們無法相信我將變成怎樣
Revolutionaries wait
革命家在等著
For my head on a silver plate
等著我的頭在銀盤上
Just a puppet on a lonely string
只是ㄧ個被串在線上的魁儡(我只是個命懸一線的傀儡)
Oh who would ever want to be king?
唉 誰願為王?
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
我聽到耶路薩冷的鐘聲
Roman calvary choirs are singing
羅馬騎兵唱詩班正唱著
Be my mirror my sword and shield
當作我的鏡子 劍與盾
My missionaries in a foreign field
我異國的傳教士
For some reason I can t explain
一些理由我無法去解釋
I know Saint Peter will call my name
我知道聖徒彼得將呼喊我的名子
Never an honest word
不曾聽到隻字真言
But that was when I ruled the world
這就是我所統治的世界
(Ohhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
我聽到耶路薩冷的鐘聲
Roman calvary choirs are singing
羅馬騎兵唱詩班的歌聲
Be my mirror my sword and shield
當作我的鏡子 劍與盾
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的傳教士在外國的土地上
For some reason I can t explain
一些理由我無法去解釋
I know Saint Peter will call my name
我知道聖徒彼得將呼喊我的名子
Never an honest word
不曾聽到隻字真言
But that was when I ruled the world
這就是我所統治的世界
(Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh)
