Coldplay-Viva La Vida(生命萬歲)

雖然考試跟實驗接踵而來
縱使我對現在實驗充滿幹勁
但是瓶頸挫折終究會與我相會
音樂當然就是最好的調適
coldplay在我買了兩張專輯後
就比較沒又繼續注意他們
多少因為入伍了一年
要持續注意我喜歡的樂團歌手有些困難

說也奇怪好聽的音樂總是會在無意間
用不一樣的方式呈現
CD店隨機播放
youtube的隨意亂逛
我喜歡這首viva la vida
聽歌我是旋律派的
沒有足以打動我的旋律
縱使在再好的詞
以無法引起我的共鳴
又是小提又是大提
讓這首歌更有感覺
尤其大提琴的低音
跟一般bass給人家的感覺又很不一樣

當然後面"歐~"的時候就讓我想起小時候
參加童子軍唱過的歌
沒想到加入此中有如此人熟悉又喜歡的感覺

看完歌詞就更不用說了
我決定去買CD了
I used to rule the world
我習慣享受著支配世界

Seas would rise when I gave the word
當我說海，海就誕生了

Now in the morning I sweep alone
現在，我在早晨獨自掃視著

Sweep the streets I used to own
掃視著我過去擁有的街道



I used to roll the dice
我習慣用擲骰子來決定他人生死

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
一邊感受那從敵人眼中散發出的害怕

Listen as the crowd would sing:
一邊聽著群眾唱著

"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
「現在先王已死，吾王萬歲。」



One minute I held the key
從那一刻起，我明白

Next the walls were closed on me
因為下一波障礙正席捲而來

And I discovered that my castles stand
而且我發現我的城堡矗立在

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
矗立在鹽柱和沙柱上



I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
我聽見耶路撒冷的鐘聲響起

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
羅馬騎兵樂團正唱著

Be my mirror my sword and shield
當吾鏡、吾劍和保護我

My missionaries in a foreign field
我的傳教士也離我而去投向敵營

For some reason I can't explain
因為某些理由，我無法解釋

Once you go there was never, never an honest word
當你成為了國王，就會發現那一切都是謊言

That was when I ruled the world
那就是當我支配這世界時

(Ohhh)
喔~


It was the wicked and wild wind
這就是那邪惡又瘋狂的勢力

Blew down the doors to let me in.
摧毀讓我執政的途徑讓我無法稱王

Shattered windows and the sound of drums
粉粹那權力的窗戶以及鼓聲

People couldn't believe what I'd become
人民無法相信為何我會有如此的改變


Revolutionaries wait
革命家們正在等著

For my head on a silver plate
等著把我的頭顱放在銀盤上

Just a puppet on a lonely string
我就像被線操控的孤獨木偶

Oh who would ever want to be king?
喔，早知如此，誰還想要當國王呢??

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
我聽見耶路撒冷的鐘聲響起

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
羅馬騎兵樂團正唱著

Be my mirror my sword and shield
當吾鏡、吾劍和保護我

My missionaries in a foreign field
我的傳教士也離我而去投向敵營

For some reason I can't explain
因為某些理由，我無法解釋

I know Saint Peter won't call my name
我知道聖彼得也不會理會我

Never an honest word
儘管這一切一切都是謊言

But that was when I ruled the world
但那就是當我支配這世界時
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
喔~~喔~喔~
