ipod新一季的tvc，在我看来是最棒的一支，翻译中文的时候，立刻被深深吸引，于是自己找来歌词翻了全部（广告中只是其中的一段），另外，再次为coldplay喝彩。

Viva La Vida

生命万岁

——————————————————————Cold Play

I used to rule the world

我曾经称霸天下

Seas would rise when I gave the word

只要我一声令下，海洋也会应声而起

Now in the morning I sleep alone

今早我独自醒来

Sweep the streets I used to own

打扫这曾经属于我的街道

I used to roll the dice

我曾经轻松一掷

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

就看到敌人眼中的恐惧

Listen as the crowd would sing:

聆听万众的欢呼

"Now the old king is dead! Longlive the king!"

“先王已逝，吾王万岁！”

One minute I held the key

前一分钟我还执掌权杖

Next the walls were closed on me

下一分钟高墙禁锢

And I discovered that my castles stand

我城堡中的基石

Upon pillars of salt and pillars ofsand

竟落盐散沙

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

我听见钟声在耶路撒冷响起

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

 罗马骑兵的军歌嘹亮

Be my mirror my sword and shield

胜任我的明镜  担当我的宝剑与盾牌

My missionaries in a foreign field

我的传教士远赴外疆

For some reason I can't explain

为一些难以启齿的缘由

Once you go there was never,

自从你离开之后，从未

never an honest word

从未有人对我说过真话

That was when I ruled the world

在我曾经呼风唤雨的日子里

It was the wicked and wild wind

狂风来袭

Blew down the doors to let me in.

将我推入重门

Shattered windows and the sound ofdrums

窗棂破碎  鼓声阵阵

People couldn't believe what I'dbecome

我的归宿无人能料

Revolutionaries wait

革命者的企盼

For my head on a silver plate

正是银盘中我的头颅

Just a puppet on a lonely string

不过是命悬一线的傀儡

Oh who would ever want to be king?

天下谁愿称王

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

我听见钟声在耶路撒冷响起

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

 罗马骑兵的军歌嘹亮

Be my mirror my sword and shield

胜任我的明镜  担当我的宝剑与盾牌

My missionaries in a foreign field

我的传教士远赴外疆

For some reason I can't explain

为一些难以启齿的缘由

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

我知道圣徒比特将永不召唤我

Never an honest word

从未有人对我说过真话

But that was when I ruled the world

那就是我呼风唤雨的岁月
