美麗人生 Life is Beautiful

I used to rule the world 

我曾經統治世界 

Seas would rise when I gave the word 

呼風喚雨 權傾一時

Now in the morning I sleep alone 

現在的我獨眠到清晨

Sweep the streets I used to own 

清掃我曾擁有的街道

 I used to roll the dice 

我曾孤注一擲

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes 

感覺敵人雙眼隱現的恐懼

Listened as the crowd would sing 

聆聽人民唱著

Now the old king is dead long live the king 

改朝換代 吾王萬歲

One minute I held the key 

我握著權杖

Next the walls were closed on me 

關起城門

And I discovered that my castles stand 

發現我的城池

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand 

建在鹽柱砂柱上

 I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing 

我聽見耶路撒冷的鐘聲響起

Roman cavalry choirs are singing 

羅馬騎兵齊聲高唱

Be my mirror, my sword and shield 

做我的明鏡、利刃和盾牌

Missionaries in a foreign field 

傳教士在城外

For some reason I can't explain 

某種我無法解釋的理由

Once you'd gone there was never 

若你曾去過他方 就知道從沒有

Never an honest word 

沒有真實的話語

And that was when I ruled the world 

當我在位時

 It was a wicked and wild wind 

當時氣候惡劣狂風暴雨

Blew down the doors to let me in 

吹倒了城門讓我進入

Shattered windows and the sound of drums 

殘破的窗戶如鼓聲作響

People couldn't believe what I'd become 

人民無法相信我將成為何人

Revolutionaries wait 

等待革命

For my head on a silver plate 

頭戴鍍銀的頭盔

Just a puppet on a lonely string 

被細繩操控獨舞的木偶

Oh who would ever want to be king? 

喔 誰想要坐上王位

 I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing 

我聽見耶路撒冷的鐘聲響起

Roman cavalry choirs are singing 

羅馬騎兵齊聲高唱

Be my mirror, my sword and shield 

做我的明鏡、利刃和盾牌

My missionaries in a foreign field 

傳教士在城外

For some reason I can't explain 

某種我無法解釋的理由

I know St Peter won't call my name 

我知道聖彼得不會召喚我

Never an honest word 

沒有ㄧ句真誠的言語

But that was when I ruled the world 

但那是當我在位時

Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing 

我聽見耶路撒冷的鐘聲響起

Roman cavalry choirs are singing 

羅馬騎兵齊聲高唱

Be my mirror, my sword and shield 

做我的明鏡、利刃和盾牌

My missionaries in a foreign field 

傳教士在城外

For some reason I can't explain 

某種我無法解釋的理由

I know St Peter won't call my name 

我知道聖彼得不會召喚我

Never an honest word 

沒有ㄧ句真誠的言語

But that was when I ruled the world

但那是當我在位時
