Coldplay - Viva La Vida~美しき生命~

I used to rule the world
私は王だった

Seas would rise when I gave the word
言葉を与えれば　海はうねりを上げた

Now in the morning I sleep alone
今この朝は　私は独りで眠る

Sweep the streets I used to own
かつて私のものだった道を掃く

I used to roll the dice
私は賽を振った

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
敵の瞳には恐怖が映り

Listen as the crowd would sing
群集が歌うように聴く

"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
「古き王は死んだ！王よ永遠なれ！」

One minute I held the key
鍵を掲げると

Next the walls were closed on me
壁は私を閉じ込めた

And I discovered that my castles stand
私の城は

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
砂と塩の柱でそびえていた

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
エルサレムのベルが鳴る

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
ローマ騎兵の聖歌隊が歌う

Be my mirror, my sword and shield
私の鏡となり　剣となり　盾となり

My missionaries in a foreign field
異国の宣教者となれ

For some reason I can't explain
口には出来ない理由

Once you go there was never
一度もそこへ行くことはない

Never an honest word
口には出来ない言葉

And that was when I ruled the world
私が王だった頃

It was the wicked and wild wind
邪悪な激しい風が

Blew down the doors to let me in
ドアを叩き私を招く

Shattered windows and the sound of drums
砕けた窓と太鼓の音が

People couldn't believe what I'd become
人は私を信じることが出来なかった

Revolutionaries wait
革命家たちは待つ

For my head on a silver plate
銀の皿の上にある私の首を

Just a puppet on a lonely string
糸で操られる人形のような

Oh who would ever want to be king?
誰が王になることを望むだろうか？

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

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
口には出来ない理由

I know Saint Peter won't call my name
聖ペトロは私の名を呼ばない

Never an honest word
口には出来ない言葉

But that was when I ruled the world
だが　私は王だった


この歌はイエスキリストをうたったもののようである。
