I used to rule the world 我曾經統治這個世界
Seas would rise when I gave the word 我號令海水即漲潮
Now in the morning I sweep alone 現在清晨我獨自清掃
Sweep the streets I used to own 清掃我曾經擁有的街道
I used to roll the dice 我曾經投擲著骰子
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes 感到敵人眼中的恐慌
Listen as the crowd would sing: 也曾聽人群歡唱:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" "舊主已死,新王萬歲!"
One minute I held the key 前一分鐘我還持有鑰匙
Next the walls were closed on me 下一分鐘在我面前緊閉了城墻
And I discovered that my castles stand 我發現我的城堡
Upon pillars of song, pillars of sand 矗立在頌歌與散沙砌成的柱子之上
I hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing 我聽到鐘鳴響徹耶路撒冷
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing 羅馬騎兵唱詩班傳來歌聲
Be my mirror my sword and shield 化作我的劍與盾吧,成為我的鏡子
My missionaries in a foreign field 為我遠征異國的傳教士
For some reason I can not explain 出于某種原因我無法解釋
Once you know there was never, never an honest word 你知道那里永遠不會有一字誠實
That was when I ruled the world 在我還統治這個世界的時候
It was the wicked and wild wind 那是邪惡野蠻的狂風
Blew down the doors to let me in 刮倒了大門讓我進入
Shattered windows and the sound of drums 破碎的窗戶與聲聲擊鼓
People could not believe what I'd become 人民不相信我變成了如今這樣
Revolutionaries Wait 革命者等待著
For my head on a silver plate 好用銀盤端上我的頭顱
Just a puppet on a lonely string 只是個寂寞繩索上的木偶
Oh who would ever want to be king? 啊,誰才願意成為一國之主?
I hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing 我聽到鐘鳴響徹耶路撒冷
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing 羅馬騎兵唱詩班傳來歌聲
Be my mirror my sword and shield 化作我的劍與盾吧,成為我的鏡子
My missionaries in a foreign field 為我遠征異國的傳教士
For some reason I can not explain 出于某種原因我無法解釋
I know Saint Peter will call my name 我知道聖彼德會呼喚我的名字
Never an honest word 永遠不會有一字誠實
But that was when I ruled the world 但那就是我還統治世界的時候
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
Hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing 我聽到鐘鳴響徹耶路撒冷
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing 羅馬騎兵唱詩班傳來歌聲
Be my mirror my sword and shield 化作我的劍與盾吧,成為我的鏡子
My missionaries in a foreign field 為我遠征異國的傳教士
For some reason I can not explain 出于某種原因我無法解釋
I know Saint Peter will call my name 我知道聖彼德會呼喚我的名字
Never an honest word 永遠不會有一字誠實
But that was when I ruled the world 但那就是我還統治世界的時候

Viva la Vida，西班牙語，解作生命萬歲／活在當下。
偶超愛它的歌詞和旋律ｖｖｖｖｖｖ
個人認為它也在Coldplay的作品算是中節奏比較輕快和有活力的說∼
大推！！！！Youtube上某兩人改編版的的Viva la Vida(acoustic)：
順帶一提這首歌是阿普神本Viva la Vida（即VLV）的靈感來源ｖｖｖ>>>>按我到VLV本公式站
