I used to rule the world
我曾经一统天下
Seas would rise when I gave the word
大海也在我的号令下潮落潮起
Now in the morning I sleep alone
如今我清晨独自睡觉
Sweep the streets I used to own
打扫那曾属于我的街道

I used to roll the dice
我曾经孤注一掷
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
感受过敌人眼中的恐惧
Listen as the crowd would sing:
听到过诸如愚民们歌唱的
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
“先王已经去世了！国王万岁！”
One minute I held the key
前一分钟我还把着钥匙
Next the walls were closed on me
下一分钟城墙已向我紧闭
And I discovered that my castles stand
这时我才发觉我的城堡
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
是在盐与沙做的脆弱支柱上耸立
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
我听到耶路撒冷的钟声响起
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑兵唱诗班的齐声吟唱
Be my mirror my sword and shield
成为我的明镜、宝剑和盾牌吧！
My missionaries in a foreign field
让我的传教士遍布异域！
For some reason I can't explain
很多原因令我不能解释的是
Once you'd gone there was never, never an honest word
一旦你离开，那儿将不再有，不再有真诚的言语
That was when I ruled the world
那便是我一统天下的时刻
(Ohhh)
It was the wicked and wild wind
邪恶而野蛮的狂风
Blew down the doors to let me in
为我冲破重重大门
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
粉碎的窗户与鼓声相伴
People couldn't believe what I'd become
我的未来将使人们难以置信
Revolutionaries wait
革命者们期待着
For my head on a silver plate
期待着我的头颅摆上银盘
Just a puppet on a lonely string
我只是拴在一根孤独细线上的傀儡
Oh who would ever want to be king?
哦，有谁曾真的想要成为国王
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
我听到耶路撒冷的钟声响起
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑兵唱诗班的齐声吟唱
Be my mirror my sword and shield
成为我的明镜、宝剑和盾牌吧！
My missionaries in a foreign field
让我的传教士遍布异域！
For some reason I can't explain
很多原因令我不能解释的是
I know St.Peter won't call my name
我知道圣彼得不会叫我的名字
Never an honest word
不再有真诚的言语
But that was when I ruled the world
但那便是我呼风唤雨的时刻
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
我听到耶路撒冷的钟声响起
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马骑兵唱诗班的齐声吟唱
Be my mirror my sword and shield
成为我的明镜、宝剑和盾牌吧！
My missionaries in a foreign field
让我的传教士遍布异域！
For some reason I can't explain
很多原因令我不能解释的是
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
我知道圣彼得不会叫我的名字
Never an honest word
不再有真诚的言语
But that was when I ruled the world
但那便是我呼风唤雨的时刻
