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

Seas would rise when I gave the word

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

Listen as the crowd would sing:
也曾听到谣言中唱:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
"现在老国王死了,国王万岁!"
One minute I held the key

Next the walls were closed on me
下一分钟城墙就在我面前紧闭
And I discovered that my castles stand
我发现我那耸立的城堡
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
之上是用盐和沙砌成的柱子
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
我听到耶路撒冷的钟声响起
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑兵唱诗班传来歌声
Be my mirror my sword and shield
让它成为我的镜子,我的盾与剑
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的传教士门仍在异国的战场
For some reason I can't explain
