生命万岁

我曾经主宰世界一声令下，海啸而生而现在的清晨,我孤枕难眠回顾着曾经的足迹…… 我在股掌间玩弄着敌人的生命感觉他们眼神中的恐惧然后听到人群在歌唱：“现在老国王死了！新国王万岁”！……这一刻我执掌着乾坤下一秒却四面楚歌我才发现我的城堡其实一直矗立在松散的沙子和盐粒上……我听到耶路撒冷的钟声响起罗马骑兵的军歌嘹亮那是我的镜子，我的剑,我的盾牌……我想不明白我的传教士为何身在他乡当你在那里不再有诚实的时候那就是我统治世界的时候（ ohhh ）……邪恶的而狂野的风吹倒大门，我冲进去看着破碎的门窗震撼的鼓声人们不能相信这样的我……革命停了下来因为我的头颅被放在了银碟上剩下的只是一个落没的木偶躯体哦还有谁想成为新的国王？……我听到耶路撒冷的钟声响起罗马骑兵的军歌嘹亮那是我的镜子，我的剑,我的盾牌……我想不明白我的传教士为何身在他乡当你在那里不再有诚实的时候那就是我统治世界的时候

I used to rule the world我曾经掌握世界Seas would rise when I gave the word号令潮汐Now in the morning I sleep alone如今在这清晨孤单躺卧Sweep the streets I used to own巡视属于我的路途I used to roll the dice我曾经左右命运Feel the fear in my enemy"s 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就在刚才我还拥有开启一切的关键Next the walls were closed on me转瞬便走到了尽头And I discovered that my castles stand我发觉自己的根基Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand建立于小信与虚妄之上（盐柱子与沙子在圣经里的隐喻）I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing我听见耶路撒冷的钟Roman Cavalry choirs are singing罗马骑兵在唱颂圣诗Be my mirror my sword and shield让它做我所信奉的，成为我的剑、盾牌My missionaries in a foreign field将我的教义散播旷野（这段似乎是展望未来）For some reason I can"t explain那些原因我无法明示Once you go there was never, never an honest word当你在此处再听闻不到一句真实之言That was when I ruled the world就是我的日子来临的时刻（指最后的审判？）It was the wicked and wild wind疾风肆虐大作（启示录中提到的六印开启之像）Blew down the doors to let me in.破除一切阻碍后我会到来Shattered windows and the sound of drums敲响的鼓声震天动地People couldn"t believe what I"d become人们无法相信我为什么会改变（神子以审判者而不是救赎者的身份显现？）Revolutionaries wait颠覆已经齐备For my head on a silver plate将我的头颅奉上吧（施洗约翰之死，指殉道）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?谁愿意做这种国王（耶稣被钉十字架的时候，头上牌子写着的罪名是“（号称自己是）犹太人之王”）？I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing我听见耶路撒冷的钟Roman Cavalry choirs are singing罗马骑兵在唱颂圣诗Be my mirror my sword and shield让它做我所信奉的，成为我的剑、盾牌My missionaries in a foreign field将我的教义散播旷野For some reason I can"t explain那些原因我无法明示Once you go there was never, never an honest word当你在此处再听闻不到一句真实之言That was when I ruled the world就是我统治世界来临的时刻（似乎在指最后的审判？）I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing我听见耶路撒冷的钟Roman Cavalry choirs are singing罗马骑兵在唱颂圣诗Be my mirror my sword and shield让它做我所信奉的，成为我的剑、盾牌My missionaries in a foreign field将我的教义散播旷野For some reason I can"t explain那些原因我无法明示I know Saint Peter won"t call my name我知道圣彼得不会叫出我的名字（圣经中记录耶稣受难之时圣彼得为自保三次不认主）Never an honest word再也没有真实之言的时候But that was when I ruled the world就该是我的日子临到这个世界的时候

viva la vidacoldplay的《生命万岁》Viva La Vida 是西班牙语,是Live the Life 的意思, 来自一位墨西哥艺术家Frida Kahlo给自己的一幅画的命名。我也超COLDPLAY和这首歌,听了很多遍,下面是我的翻译:I used to rule the world我曾经统治这个世界Seas would rise when I gave the word海水涨潮当我发出号令Now in the morning I sweep alone现在清晨我独自清扫Sweep the streets I used to own清扫我曾经拥有的街道I used to roll the dice我曾经投掷骰子Feel the fear in my enemy"s eyes感觉到敌人眼中的恐惧Listen as the crowd would sing:也曾听到谣言中唱:"Now the old king is dead!
