Lirik Coldplay - Viva La Vida dan Terjemahan
I used to rule the world
(Dulu kukuasai dunia)
Seas would rise when I gave the word
(Lautan kan naik bila kuperintahkan)
Now in the morning, I sleep alone
(Kini di pagi hari kusapu sendiri)
Sweep the streets I used to own
(Kusapu jalanan yang dulu kukuasai)
I used to roll the dice
(Dulu aku sering berjudi)
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
(Merasakan ketakutan di mata musuhku)
Listen as the crowd would sing
(Mendengarkan saat orang-orang bernyanyi)
Now the old king is dead, long live the king
(Kini sang raja tua sudah meninggal, hidup raja)
One minute, I held the key
(Kupegang kunci satu menit)
Next the walls were closed on me
(Selanjutnya dinding-dinding menutupku)
And I discovered that my castles stand
(Dan kudapati istanaku berdiri)
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
(Di atas tiang garam dan tiang pasir)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
(Kudengar bel Yerusalem berdentang)
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
(Koor kavaleri Romawi bernyanyi)
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
(Jadilah cerminku, pedangku dan tamengku)
My missionaries in a foreign field
(Misionari di medan tak dikenal)
For some reason, I can't explain
(Karena beberapa alasan tak bisa kujelaskan)
Once you'd gone, there was never, never an honest word
(Begitu kau pergi tak pernah ada, tak pernah ada kata jujur)
And that was when I ruled the world
(Dan saat itulah kukuasai dunia)
It was the wicked and wild wind
(Ini angin jahat dan liar)
Blew down the doors to let me in
(Membuka pintu tuk biarkanku masuk)
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
(Porak-porandakan jendela dan suara genderang)
People couldn't believe what I'd become
(Orang tak percaya jadinya diriku kini)
Revolutionaries wait
(Para revolusioner menunggu)
For my head on a silver plate
(Kepalaku memakai di pelat perak)
Just a puppet on a lonely string
(Hanya boneka di tali tipis)
Oh, who would ever want to be king?
(Oh siapa yang ingin jadi raja?)
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
(Kudengar bel Yerusalem berdentang)
Roman Calvary choirs are singing
(Koor kavaleri Romawi bernyanyi)
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
(Jadilah cerminku, pedangku dan tamengku)
My missionaries in a foreign field
(Misionari di medan tak dikenal)
For some reason, I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
(Aku tahu Saint Peter takkan memanggil namaku)
Never an honest word
(Tak pernah ada kata jujur)
But that was when I ruled the world
(Tapi saat itulah kukuasai dunia)
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
(Kudengar bel Yerusalem berdentang)
Roman Calvary choirs are singing
(Koor kavaleri Romawi bernyanyi)
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
(Jadilah cerminku, pedangku dan tamengku)
My missionaries in a foreign field
(Misionari di medan tak dikenal)
For some reason I can't explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
(Aku tahu Saint Peter takkan memanggil namaku)
Never an honest word
(Tak pernah ada kata jujur)
But that was when I ruled the world
(Tapi saat itulah kukuasai dunia)
