DeeJee大熊推荐 Coldplay - Viva La Vida 带歌词,值得品味的一首歌





  歌词也写得很好,顺便赞一下,翻译歌词这个网友的功底!

  Viva La Vida  
  生命无上
  
  I used to rule the world  
  Seas would rise when I gave the word  
  Now in the morning I sleep alone  
  Sweep the streets I used to own  
  我曾经主宰世界。
  大海也愿为我咆哮。
  如今我清晨独眠,
  在我曾拥有的井巷中彷徨。
  
  I used to roll the dice  
  Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes  
  Listen as the crowd would sing:  
  "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"  
  我经历过孤注一掷,
  感受过敌人眼底的不可终日,
  领教过愚民们高喊口号:
  “先王亡矣!我王永世!”      这句翻译的相当精彩!比原文更有气势!
  
  One minute I held the key  
  Next the walls were closed on me  
  And I discovered that my castles stand  
  Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand  
  大权刚刚在手,
  城墙即将我禁闭。
  我这才发现我城堡的基石
  竟如散沙盐粒般脆弱无力。
  
  I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing  
  Roman Cavalry choirs are singing  
  Be my mirror my sword and shield  
  My missionaries in a foreign field  
  For some reason I can't explain  
  Once you go there was never,  
  never an honest word  
  That was when I ruled the world  
  耶路撒冷传来一声钟响。
  罗马骑兵唱诗班正在吟唱。
  我异疆的传教士啊,
  我的明镜,宝剑与盾牌由你们担当!
  其中缘由我不能讲明,
  自你走后,我从未,
  从未听过只字真言。
  那就是我主宰世界的年月。
  
  It was the wicked and wild wind  
  Blew down the doors to let me in.  
  Shattered windows and the sound of drums  
  People couldn't believe what I'd become  
  凶煞狂风袭来,
  冲破重门将我押入,
  狼藉一片,鼓声四起。
  我的结局无人能料。
  
  Revolutionaries wait  
  For my head on a silver plate  
  Just a puppet on a lonely string  
  Oh who would ever want to be king?  
  革命者期待看到
  我的头颅被摆上银盘。
  我不过一个孤家傀儡,
  唉,谁愿做王?
  
  I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing  
  Roman Cavalry choirs are singing  
  Be my mirror my sword and shield  
  My missionaries in a foreign field  
  For some reason I can't explain  
  I know Saint Peter won't call my name  
  Never an honest word  
  But that was when I ruled the world
  耶路撒冷传来一声钟响。
  罗马骑兵唱诗班正在吟唱。
  我异疆的传教士啊,
  我的明镜,宝剑与盾牌由你们担当!
  其中缘由我不能讲明,
  我深知圣彼得不会唤我姓名。
  从未听过只字真言。
  但那就是我主宰世界的年月。
