Viva La Vida

生命万岁 -- Coldplay

翻译

I used to rule the world

我曾是这世界的王

Seas would rise when I gave the word

海浪生升起，只因我的旨意

Now in the morning I sleep alone

如今我在清晨独自入眠

Sweep the streets I used to own

清扫那层属于我的康庄大道

I used to roll the dice

我曾掷骰裁决那些人世的生生死死

Fell the fear in my enemy's eyes

洞察死敌眼神里隐藏的恐惧

Listen as the crowd would sing:

听那人群高呼：

"Now the old king is dead

先王已逝

Long live the king"

吾王万岁

One minute I held the key

曾几何时，我权柄在握

Next the walls were closed on me

转瞬却深陷囹圄

And I discovered that my castles stand

最终发现我那盖世的宏图伟业

Upon `pillars` of salt' pillars of sand

只是一座虚无缥缈的空中楼阁

I hear `Jerusalem` bells a ringing

我听见耶路撒冷传来洪亮的钟声

Roman `Cavalry` `choirs` are singing

罗马骑兵的唱诗班正在吟诵

Be my mirror my sword and shield

作为我的明镜，我的剑和盾

My missionaries in a foreign field

我的布道者们远离异邦

For some reason I can't explain

他们的使命我无法言明

Once you'd gone there was never'

自从你离开之后，就从未有过

Never an honest word

从未有过一丝真言

That was when I ruled the world

那就是我统治这世界的年月

It was the wicked and wild wind

是那邪恶而狂野的风

Blew down the doors to let me in

掀翻那阻挡我进去的重重的门

`Shattered` windows and the sound of `drums`

窗棂破碎，鼓声喧天

People couldn't believe what I'd become

我的下场无人能料

Revolutionaries wait

革命者在等待

For my head on a silver plate

银盘里乘着我的头颅

Just a `puppet` on a lonely string

我只是那命悬一线的傀儡

Oh who would ever wanna be king

唉，早知如此，何必为王

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

我听见耶路撒冷传来洪亮的钟声

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

罗马骑兵的唱诗班正在吟诵

Be my mirror my sword and shield

作为我的明镜，我的剑和盾

My missionaries in a foreign field

我的布道者们远涉异邦

For some reason I can't explain

他们的使命我无法言明

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

我深知圣彼得不会再认我

Never an honest word

从未有过一丝真言

But that was when I ruled the world

但那正是我统治这世界的年月

(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh

Hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

听见耶路撒冷传来洪亮的钟声

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

罗马骑兵的唱诗班正在吟诵

Be my mirror my sword and shield

作为我的明镜，我的剑和盾

My missionaries in a foreign field

我的布道者们远涉异邦

For some reason I can't explain

他们的使命我无法言明

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

我深知圣彼得不会再认我

Never an honest word

从未有过一丝真言

But that was when I rulled the world

但那正是我统治这世界的年月

歌曲背景

克里斯·马汀（酷玩乐队主唱）在看了二十世纪墨西哥艺术家弗里达·卡罗的一幅画后产生了《Viva La Vida》创作灵感，他将画作的名字作为了该首歌的标题。在西班牙语中，"viva"表达着向某人或者某事喝彩的意思。一天夜晚，克里斯·马汀坐在钢琴边，慢慢地有了这首歌的感觉。克里斯·马汀坐一边歌，一边他写的唱给强尼·巴克兰（酷玩乐队吉他手），当强尼感到满意时克里斯就会把写的部分给威尔·查平（酷玩乐队鼓手）

Lyric 歌词

Fell 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' pillars of sand

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'd gone there was never'

Never an honest word

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

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I rulled the world
