Viva La Vida - Children’s Song Masters

I used to rule the world

我曾主宰这个世道

Seas would rise when I gave the word

一声号令犹如海潮咆哮

Now in the morning I sleep alone

而如今我却在清晨孤身一人

Sweep the streets I used to own

打扫着这曾属于我的街道

I used to roll the dice

我曾孤注一掷

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

敌人因为恐惧而不敢正视

Listen as the crowd would sing:

但现在听听人们的高呼吧:

Now the old king is dead

先主已逝!

Long live the king

吾王永世!

One minute I held the key

我手中的钥匙曾象征着权力

Next the walls were closed on me

转眼间四面却是冰冷的岩壁

And I discovered that my castles stand

我猛然发现我的城堡

Upon pillars of salt' pillars of sand

正摇摇欲坠犹如沙雕盐砌

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

耶路撒冷的钟声轻轻回荡

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

我听到罗马骑兵团的咏唱

Be my mirror my sword and shield

化为吾盾化为吾刃，化为明镜为我正身!

My missionaries in a foreign field

化为我在异邦的布道之人

For some reason I can't explain

一切都如此莫名其妙

Once you know there was never'

Never an honest word

却不曾有一句忠诚的劝告

That was when I ruled the world

啊那就是我曾主宰的世道

It was the wicked and wild wind

邪风吹落了门前的封印

Blew down the doors to let me in

呼啸着带我走进

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

阵阵鼓声冲开破败的窗棂

People couldn't believe what I'd become

我的改变令人难以置信

Revolutionaries wait

革命者们虎视眈眈

For my head on a silver plate

想把我的脑袋摆上银盘

Just a puppet on a lonely string

不过是一只傀儡娃娃

Oh who would ever wanna be king

啊，谁想称霸这样的天下？

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

耶路撒冷的钟声轻轻回荡

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

我听到罗马骑兵团的咏唱

Be my mirror my sword and shield

化为吾盾化为吾刃，化为明镜为我正身!

My missionaries in a foreign field

化为我在异邦的布道之人

For some reason I can't explain

一切都如此莫名其妙

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

明知圣彼得也不会为我祈祷

Never an honest word

却不曾有一句忠诚的劝告

But that was when I ruled the world

但那就是我曾主宰的世道

Hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

耶路撒冷的钟声轻轻回荡

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

我听到罗马骑兵团的咏唱

Be my mirror my sword and shield

化为吾盾化为吾刃，化为明镜为我正身!

My missionaries in a foreign field

化为我在异邦的布道之人

For some reason I can't explain

一切都如此莫名其妙

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

明知圣彼得也不会为我祈祷

Never an honest word

却不曾有一句忠诚的劝告

But that was when I ruled the world

但那就是我曾主宰的世道
