Viva La Vida
生命無(wú)上
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
我曾經(jīng)主宰世界。
大海也愿為我咆哮。
如今我清晨獨(dú)眠，
在我曾擁有的井巷中彷徨。
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!"
我經(jīng)歷過(guò)孤注一擲，
感受過(guò)敵人眼底的不可終日，
領(lǐng)教過(guò)愚民們高喊口號(hào)：
“先王亡矣！我王永世！”
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
大權(quán)剛剛在手，
城墻即將我禁閉。
我這才發(fā)現(xiàn)我城堡的基石
竟如散沙鹽粒般脆弱無(wú)力。
I hear Jerusalem bells a 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
That was when I ruled the world
耶路撒冷傳來(lái)一聲鐘響。
羅馬騎兵唱詩(shī)班正在吟唱。
我異疆的傳教士啊，
我的明鏡，寶劍與盾牌由你們擔(dān)當(dāng)！
其中緣由我不能講明，
自你走后，我從未，
從未聽(tīng)過(guò)只字真言。
那就是我主宰世界的年月。
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
兇煞狂風(fēng)襲來(lái)，
沖破重門(mén)將我押入，
狼藉一片，鼓聲四起。
我的結(jié)局無(wú)人能料。
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
革命者期待看到
我的頭顱被擺上銀盤(pán)。
我不過(guò)一個(gè)孤家傀儡，
唉，誰(shuí)愿做王？
I hear Jerusalem bells a 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
耶路撒冷傳來(lái)一聲鐘響。
羅馬騎兵唱詩(shī)班正在吟唱。
我異疆的傳教士啊，
我的明鏡，寶劍與盾牌由你們擔(dān)當(dāng)！
其中緣由我不能講明，
我深知圣彼得不會(huì)喚我姓名。
從未聽(tīng)過(guò)只字真言。
但那就是我主宰世界的年月。
