作詞:Coldplay
作曲:Coldplay
I used to rule the world
我曾经掌握世界
Seas would rise when I gave the word
大海也会在我的命令下涨潮
Now in the morning I sleep alone
如今我却在清晨独眠
Sweep the streets I used to own
清扫我曾经拥有的街道
I used to roll the dice
我曾孤注一掷
Feel the fear in my enemies eyes
玩味敌人眼中的恐惧
Listen as the crowd would sing
听着人们的颂唱
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the King!"
先王已死,新王万岁
One minute I held the key
前一刻我还掌管一切
Next the walls were closed on me
下一刻我就被城墙禁锢
And I discovered that my castles stand
我发觉我自己的根基
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
由沙子和盐建立
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
我听见耶路撒冷的钟
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马的骑兵唱诵圣诗
Be my mirror my sword and shield
让它成为我所信奉的,我的剑,我的盾牌
My missionaries in a foreign field
把我的教义传遍四方
For some reason I can not explain
一些原因我无法解释
Once you know there was never' never an honest word
当你在这里再也听不到一句真话
And that was when I ruled the world
那便是我统治天下的时代
It was the wicked and wild wind
狂风怒吼 一路袭来
Blew down the doors to let me in
破除一切阻碍让我到来
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
门窗爆裂 声响如雷
People could not believe what I'd become
人们无法相信我为什么会改变
Revolutionaries wait
颠覆已经齐备
For my head on a silver plate
把我的头颅奉上
Just a puppet on a lonely string
我不过是一个顺应使命的傀儡
Oh who would ever want to be King?
哦 谁愿意做这种国王
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
我听见耶路撒冷的钟
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马的骑兵唱诵圣诗
Be my mirror my sword and shield
让它成为我所信奉的,我的剑,我的盾牌
My missionaries in a foreign field
把我的教义传遍四方
For some reason I can not explain
一些原因我无法解释
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
我知道圣彼得不会叫出我的名字
Never an honest word
再也没有真话
And that was when I ruled the world
那便是我统治天下的时代
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringings
我听见耶路撒冷的钟
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马的骑兵唱诵圣诗
Be my mirror my sword and shield
让它成为我所信奉的,我的剑,我的盾牌
My missionaries in a foreign field

But that was when I ruled the world
那便是我统治天下的时代
