Viva la Vida的歌词到底是什么意思
所看最佳版本: I used to rule the world 我曾经世界 Seas would rise when I gave the word 号令潮汐 Now in the morning I sleep alone 如今清晨孤单躺卧 Sweep the streets I used to own 巡视属于我的路途 I used to roll the dice 我左右命运 Feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes 玩味敌人眼中的恐惧 Listen as the crowd would sing: 听着人们的颂唱: “Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!” 先王已死,新王万岁
One minute I held the key 就在刚才我还拥有开启一切的关键 Next the walls were closed on me 转瞬便走到了尽头 And I discovered that my castles stand 我发觉自己的根基 Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand 建立于小信与虚妄之上(盐柱子与沙子在圣经里的隐喻) I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing 我听见耶路撒冷的钟 Roman Cavalry choirs are singing 罗马骑兵在唱颂圣诗 Be my mirror my sword and shield 让它做我所信奉的,成为我的剑、盾牌 My missionaries in a foreign field 将我的教义散播旷野(这段似乎是展望未来) For some reason I can’t explain 那些原因我无法明示 Once you go there was never, never an honest word 当你在此处再听闻不到一句真实之言 That was when I ruled the world 就是我的日子来临的时刻(指最后的审判
) It was the wicked and wild wind 疾风肆虐大作(启示录中提到的六印开启之像) Blew down the doors to let me in. 破除一切阻碍后我会到来 Shattered windows and the sound of drums 敲响的鼓声震天动地 People couldn’t believe what I’d become 人们无法相信我为什么会改变(神子以审判者而不是救赎者的身份显现
) Revolutionaries wait 颠覆已经齐备 For my head on a silver plate 将我的头颅奉上吧(施洗约翰之死,指殉道) Just a puppet on a lonely string 我不过是一个顺应使命的傀儡 Oh who would ever want to be king? 谁愿意做这种国王(耶稣被钉十字架的时候,头上牌子写着的罪名是“(号称自己是)犹太人之王”)
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing 我听见耶路撒冷的钟 Roman Cavalry choirs are singing 罗马骑兵在唱颂圣诗 Be my mirror my sword and shield 让它做我所信奉的,成为我的剑、盾牌 My missionaries in a foreign field 将我的教义散播旷野 For some reason I can’t explain 那些原因我无法明示 I know Saint Peter won’t call my name 我知道圣彼得不会叫出我的名字(圣经中记录耶稣受难之时圣彼得为自保三次不认主) Never an honest word 再也没有真实之言的时候 But that was when I ruled the world 就该是我的日子临到这个世界的时候 I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing 我听见耶路撒冷的钟 Roman Cavalry choirs are singing 罗马骑兵在唱颂圣诗 Be my mirror my sword and shield 让它做我所信奉的,成为我的剑、盾牌 My missionaries in a foreign field 将我的教义散播旷野 For some reason I can’t explain 那些原因我无法明示 I know Saint Peter won’t call my name 我知道圣彼得不会叫出我的名字(圣经中记录耶稣受难之时圣彼得为自保三次不认主) Never an honest word 再也没有真实之言的时候 But that was when I ruled the world 就该是我的日子临到这个世界的时候
