Viva La Vida*


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


I used to roll the dice

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

Listen 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


I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing


Roman Calvary 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 go there was never

Never an honest word

And that was when I ruled the world


It was the 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?


I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing


Roman Calvary 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 Saint Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word

But that was when I ruled the world


I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing

Roman Calvary 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 Saint Peter won't call my name

Never an honest word


But that was when I ruled the world

Viva La Vida


I used to rule the world

Eskiden dünyayı yönetirdim


Seas would rise when I gave the word

Emir verdiğimde denizler yükselirdi


Now in the morning I sweep alone

Şimdi sabah yalnız süpürüyorum



Sweep the streets I used to own

Süpürüyorum eskiden sahip olduğum sokakları


I used to roll the dice

Eskiden zarı yuvarlardım


Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

Düşmanımın gözündeki korkuyu hissederdim


Listen as the crowd would sing:

Kalabalık söylerken dinlerdim:




"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"


"Şimdi eski kral öldü, çok yaşa kral!"


One minute I held the key

Bir dakika anahtarı tuttum


Next the walls were closed on me

Daha sonra duvarlar üzerime kapandı


And I discovered that my castles stand

Ve farkettim ki kalelerim duruyordu


Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand

Tuzdan, kumdan sütunlar üzerinde



I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

Kudüs zillerinin çaldığını duyuyorum



Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Roman Cavalry koroları şarkı söylüyor


Be my mirror my sword and shield

Aynam, kılıcım ve kalkanım ol


My missionaries in a foreign field

Misyonerlerim yabancı topraklarda


For some reason I can not explain

Bazı nedenlerden dolayı açıklayamam


Once you go there was never, never an honest word

Bir kez oraya gidersen asla asla dürüst bir söz duyamazsın



That was when I ruled the world

Bu benim dünyayı yönettiğim zamandı



It was the wicked and wild wind

Hain ve sert bir rüzgardı


Blew down the doors to let me in.

İçeri girmem için kapıları düşürdü


Shattered windows and the sound of drums

Parçalanmış pencereler ve davulların sesi


People could not believe what I'd become

İnsanlar neye dönüştüğüme inanamadı



Revolutionaries Wait

Devrimciler bekliyor


For my head on a silver plate

Gümüş levha üzerindeki başım için


Just a puppet on a lonely string

Tek bir ipte sadece bir kukla


Oh who would ever want to be king?

Oh, kim kral olmak ister ki?



I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

Kudüs zillerinin çaldığını duyuyorum


Roman Cavalry choirs are singing


Roman Cavalry koroları şarkı söylüyor


Be my mirror my sword and shield

Aynam, kılıcım ve kalkanım ol


My missionaries in a foreign field

Misyonerlerim yabancı topraklarda


For some reason I can not explain

Bazı nedenlerden dolayı açıklayamam


I know Saint Peter will call my name

Biliyorum Aziz Peter beni çağıracak


Never an honest word

Dürüst bir sözcük yok



But that was when I ruled the world

Ama bu ben dünyayı yönettiğim zamandı



(Ooooh Oooh Oooh)


Hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

Kudüs zillerinin çaldığını duy


Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

Roman Cavalry koroları şarkı söylüyor


Be my mirror my sword and shield

Aynam, kılıcım ve kalkanım ol


My missionaries in a foreign field

Misyonerlerim yabancı bir alanda


For some reason I can not explain

Açıklayamadığım bazı nedenler için



I know Saint Peter will call my name

Biliyorum Aziz Peter beni çağıracak


Never an honest word

Dürüst bir sözcük yok


But that was when I ruled the world

Ama bu ben dünyayı yönettiğim zamandı
