"Viva La Vida" by Coldplay
那位高手可以翻譯歌名呢 :-)

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listen as the crowd would sing,
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become

Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh, who would ever wanna be king?

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field

For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

感謝分享好音樂:    聽完我只想像著一個落魄君王   他正在反省。

I used to rule the world
曾經，我擁有支配世界的權力

Seas would rise when I gave the word
我一聲令下，海就誕生了

Now in the morning I sweep alone
如今的早晨，只剩我獨自環顧

Sweep the streets I used to own
環顧那些我曾經擁有的街道

I used to roll the dice
曾經，我用擲骰來決定別人的命運

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
享受著敵人眼中的那份恐懼

Listen as the crowd would sing:
直到耳邊傳來群眾唱著：

"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
「救王朝已經崩壞，新王朝萬歲！」

One minute I held the key
前一刻我還擁有權力

Next the walls were closed on me
下一秒鐘世界就不屬於我

And I discovered that my castles stand
這時我才發現，原來我的城堡矗立在

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
不勘一擊的鹽和沙柱之上

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
我聽到耶路薩冷的鐘聲響起

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
羅馬騎兵樂團正在歌唱

Be my mirror my sword and shield
我的劍與頓成為我的化身四處征戰

My missionaries in a foreign field
但是我的傳教士卻背棄於我

For some reason I can't explain
我無法解釋這些原因

Once you go there was never, never an honest word
當你成為國王，你會發現這一切都是由謊言組成

That was when I ruled the world
這就是我統治的世界

It was the wicked and wild wind
就是那一股邪惡而瘋狂的潮流

Blew down the doors to let me in.
吹跨了當權者以讓我執政

Shattered windows and the sound of drums
我曾經以為我粉碎了權貴的窗戶也平息了人民的戰鼓聲

People couldn't believe what I'd become
而他們無法相信的是，現在的我怎麼也變成這樣

Revolutionaries wait
革命家正等待著

For my head on a silver plate
把我的頭放在銀盤上

Just a puppet on a lonely string
就像是一個被人用線操控的孤獨木偶

Oh who would ever want to be king?
唉，又有誰曾經想當國王呢？

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
我聽到耶路薩冷的鐘聲響起

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
羅馬騎兵樂團正在歌唱

Be my mirror my sword and shield
我的劍與盾成為我的化身四處征戰

My missionaries in a foreign field
但是我的傳教士卻背棄於我

For some reason I can't explain
我無法解釋這些原因

I know Saint Peter won't call my name
我知道就是聖彼德也會背棄我
Never an honest word
雖然一切都是謊言

But that was when I ruled the world
但這就是我統治的世

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
我聽到耶路薩冷的鐘聲正響著

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
羅馬騎兵樂團正為我哀悼著

Be my mirror my sword and shield
我哀求著，再次成為我的借鏡、為我而戰並守護著我吧
