Viva La Vida

　
這是coldplay今年中發新專輯的一首歌，

英國的搖滾天團，
（不過我以前不覺得他們的歌好聽...）

我修「音樂欣賞」通識老師介紹的，

很酷吧！上課聽音樂，講音樂，

從之前古典音樂史到上禮拜現代搖滾樂團...

（雖然說我有很多堂沒去上..(汗"））



重點是，這首真的太讚了！

我最近都在不斷repeat...

歌詞寫得很棒，

為什麼外國人可以寫出這種意境的音樂？


仔細聽，還可以聽到耶路撒冷的鐘聲...



Viva La Vida



(Verse 1)
I used to rule the world
我曾經統治世界
Seas would rise when I gave the word
當我下令大海也為我咆哮
Now in the morning I sweep alone
而今我在清晨獨自巡視
Sweep the streets I used to own
巡視我曾經擁有的街道

I used to roll the dice
我曾經孤注一擲(有說投擲骰子左右敵人命運)
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
感覺（享受）敵人眼中的恐懼
Listen as the crowd would sing:
也曾聽愚民歌頌:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
"先帝已逝,吾皇萬歲!"

One minute I held the key
剛剛大權在握
Next the walls were closed on me
下一瞬間城牆卻立刻將我禁閉
And I discovered that my castles stand
才發現我那城堡的支柱
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
卻是由鹽和沙堆砌而成（建築於虛妄之上）

(Chorus)
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
我聽到耶路撒冷的鐘聲響起
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
羅馬大軍齊聲高歌
Be my mirror my sword and shield
讓它成為我的鏡子,我的盾與劍
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的傳教士位在遠方國度


For some reason I can't explain
因為某種原因我無法解釋
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
自你走後我再也聽不到一句誠實話語
That was when I ruled the world
那就是我統治的世界


(Verse 2)
It was the wicked and wild wind
狂風肆虐
Blew down the doors to let me in
吹倒了大門將我席捲而入
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
窗櫺破碎 鼓聲四起
People couldn't believe what I'd become
人們無法相信（訝異於）我的改變

Revolutionaries wait
革命軍虎視眈眈
For my head on a silver plate
為了將我的首級盛在銀盤之上
Just a puppet on a lonely string
我只是繫在孤獨繩索上的傀儡(我只是個命懸一線的傀儡)
Oh who would ever want to be king?
唉 誰願為王?

(Chorus)
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
我聽到耶路撒冷的鐘聲響起
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
羅馬大軍齊聲高歌
Be my mirror my sword and shield
讓它成為我的鏡子,我的盾與劍
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的傳教士正在遠方國度

For some reason I can't explain
因為某種原因我無法解釋
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
我知道聖彼得將不會呼喚我的名字(意指無法上天堂)
Never an honest word
不再有誠實的話語
But that was when I ruled the world
但那就是我統治的世界

ooooo ooooo ooooo oooooo ooooo

(Repeat with Chorus)

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
我聽到耶路撒冷的鐘聲響起
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
羅馬大軍齊聲高歌
Be my mirror my sword and shield
讓它成為我的鏡子,我的盾與劍
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的傳教士正在遠方國度

For some reason I can't explain
因為某種原因我無法解釋
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
我知道聖彼得將不會呼喚我的名字
Never an honest word
不再有誠實的話語
But that was when I ruled the world
但那就是我統治的世界
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
