最近一直单曲循环的一首歌
viva la vida生命万岁
I used to rule the world 我曾是这世界的王
Seas would rise when I gave the word 巨浪也曾因我之命澎湃
Now in the morning I sleep alone 如今,我在清晨独自难眠
Sweep the streets I used to own 好好看看那曾属于我的街道
I used to roll the dice 我曾掷骰子裁决敌人的生死(凡人生死曾由我主宰)
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes 享受我敌人眼底的恐惧
Listen as the crowd would sing: 听那人群高呼:
"Now the old king is dead
Long live the king " “先王已逝,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 转瞬却身陷囹圄
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 在异国他邦 将我的威名弘扬
For some reason I can't explain 有些事我也无法解释
Once you know there was never' 自从你离开之后,就从未有过
Never an honest word 从未有过一丝忠言
That was when I ruled the world 而这便是我统治的年月
It was the wicked and wild wind 是那邪恶而狂野的风
Blew down the doors to let me in 冲破重重大门将我席卷
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罢了
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 在异国他邦 将我的威名弘扬
For some reason I can't explain 有些事我也无法解释
I know Saint Peter won't call my name 我熟知的圣彼得不再认我
Never an honest word 从未有过一丝忠言
But that was when I ruled the world 但那正是我统治这世界的年月
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
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 在异国他邦 将我的威名弘扬
For some reason I can't explain 有些事我也无法解释
I know Saint Peter won't call my name 我熟知的圣彼得不再认我
Never an honest word 从未有过一丝忠言
But that was when I ruled the world 但那正是我统治这世界的年月
viva la vida表达的,世事变迁,上一秒还是至高无上的王,下一秒就沦为阶下囚,对往昔辉煌的留恋,对现在窘境的无奈,生命万岁,对自己好一点,不对吗?
没想到这个讲悲伤的故事的歌,居然这么好听。如果做游戏,倒是比较适合身世显赫的反派,被推上断头台的时候吟唱。
