I used to rule the world                                             我曾經統治這個世界
Seas would rise when I gave the word                  海水漲潮當我發出號令
Now in the morning I sweep alone                        現在清晨我獨自清掃
Sweep the streets I used to own                              清掃我曾經擁有的街道

I used to roll the dice                                                  我曾經投擲骰子
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes                           感覺到敵人眼中的恐懼
Listen as the crowd would sing:                              也曾聽到謠言中唱:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"   "現在老國王死了,國王萬歲!"

One minute I held the key                                        前一分鐘我還持有鑰匙
Next the walls were closed on me                           下一分鐘城牆就在我面前緊閉
And I discovered that my castles stand                我發現我那聳立的城堡
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand                   之上是用鹽和沙砌成的柱子

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing                            我聽到耶路撒冷的鐘聲響起
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing                        羅馬騎兵唱詩班傳來歌聲
Be my mirror my sword and shield                       讓它成為我的鏡子,我的盾與劍
My missionaries in a foreign field                          我的傳教士門仍在異國的戰場
For some reason I can't explain                               出於某種原因我無法解釋
Once you go there was never, never an honest word   一但你走了,那裡永遠不會有一句誠實的話語

That was when I ruled the world                           那就是我統治這個世界的時刻 

It was the wicked and wild wind                            這是一個邪惡且野性的狂風
Blew down the doors to let me in.                          刮倒了大門讓我進入
Shattered windows and the sound of drums       粉碎的窗戶與擊鼓的聲音
People couldn't believe what I'd become              人們不能相信我將成為什麼

Revolutionaries wait                                                 革命的等待
For my head on a silver plate                                 為了將我的頭顱盛在銀色的盤子上
Just a puppet on a lonely string                            只是在寂寞繩索上的一個木偶
Oh who would ever want to be king?                   啊誰真的願意成為國王

 

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing                           我聽到耶路撒冷的鐘聲響起
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing                      羅馬騎兵唱詩班傳來歌聲
Be my mirror my sword and shield                     讓它成為我的鏡子,我的盾與劍
My missionaries in a foreign field                         我的傳教士門仍在異國的戰場

 

For some reason I can't explain                             出於某種原因我無法解釋
I know Saint Peter will call my name                我知道聖人比德將會呼喚我的名字
Never an honest word                                             永遠沒有誠實的話語
But that was when I ruled the world                  但那就是當我通知這個世界的時刻
