Viva La Vida - Coldplay

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sleep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own

Dulu ku kuasai dunia
Lautan akan naik kalau kuperintahkan
Kini di pagi hari ku tidur sendiri
Menyapu jalanan yang dulu ku kuasai

I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
Listened as the crowd would sing,
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
One minute I held the key
Next the walls were closed on me
And I discovered that my castles stand
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

Dulu saya sering berjudi
Merasakan ketakutan di mata musuhku
Mendengarkan saat orang-orang bernyanyi
"Kini sang raja renta sudah meninggal, hidup raja"
Ku pegang kunci satu menit
Selanjutnya dinding-dinding menutupku
Dan ku dapati istanaku bangkit
Di atas tiang garam dan tiang pasir

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
Once you'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

Kudengar bel Yerusalem berdentang
Koor kavaleri Romawi bernyanyi
Jadilah cerminku, pedangku dan tamengku
Misionari di medan tak dikenal
Karena beberapa alasan tak bisa kujelaskan
Begitu kau pergi tak pernah ada
Tak pernah ada kata jujur
Dan dikala itulah ku kuasai dunia

It was a wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't believe what I'd become
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?

Ini angin jahat dan liar
Membuka pintu tuk biarkanku masuk
Porak-porandakan jendela dan bunyi genderang
Orang tak percaya Jadinya diriku sekarang
Para revolusioner menunggu
Kepalaku memakai di pelat perak
Hanya boneka di tali tipis
Oh siapa yang ingin Makara raja?

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know St. Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

Kudengar bel Yerusalem berdentang
Koor kavaleri Romawi bernyanyi
Jadilah cerminku, pedangku dan tamengku
Misionari di medan tak dikenal
Karena beberapa alasan tak bisa kujelaskan
Begitu kamu pergi tak pernah ada
Tak pernah ada kata jujur
Dan saat itulah ku kuasai dunia

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh [5x]

Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can't explain
I know St. Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world

Dengar bel Yerusalem berdentang
Koor kavaleri Romawi bernyanyi
Jadilah cerminku, pedangku dan tamengku
Misionari di medan tak dikenal
Karena beberapa alasan tak mampu kujelaskan
Begitu kau pergi tak pernah ada
Tak pernah ada kata jujur
Dan ketika itulah ku kuasai dunia
