I used to rule the world
我曾经主宰世界
Seas would rise when I gave the word
当我一声令下,海洋应声而起
Now in the morning I sleep alone
现在清晨我独自醒来
Sweep the streets I used to own
清扫我曾经拥有的街道

I used to roll the dice
我经历过孤注一掷
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
感觉到敌人眼底的恐惧
Listen as the crowd would sing:
也曾听到谣言中传唱:
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
"先王已死,吾王万岁!"

One minute I held the key
片刻之后我便霸权在手
Next the walls were closed on me
再一分钟城墙就在我面前紧闭
And I discovered that my castles stand
我发现我那耸立的城堡
Upon pillars of salt, pillars of sand
如盐沙砌成,摇摇欲倾

I hear Jerusalem's bells are ringing
我听见耶路撒冷传来的钟声
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马的骑兵军歌嘹亮
Be my mirror my sword and shield
利剑和盾牌映出我的宿命
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的传教士们在异国的沙场征战
For some reason I can not explain
出于某种原因我无法说明
Once you go there was never, never an honest word
若你离去,这里再不会有,诚实的话语
That was when I ruled the world
那就是我主宰这世界的时刻

It was the wicked and wild wind
邪恶的狂风卷起
Blew down the doors to let me in.
冲破重重铁门,助我前行
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
战鼓声声中窗棂摧裂
People could not believe what I'd become
人们不敢相信我变成如此模样
Revolutionaries Wait
造反者们期望着
For my head on a silver plate
我的头颅被摆上银盘
Just a puppet on a lonely string
而我只是寂寞之线操控着的玩偶
Oh who would ever want to be king?
哦,又有谁真的愿意为王?

I hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing
我听见耶路撒冷传来的钟声
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马的骑兵军歌嘹亮
Be my mirror my sword and shield
利剑和盾牌映出我的宿命
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的传教士们在异国的沙场征战
For some reason I can not explain
出于某种原因我无法说明
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
我知道圣彼德仍不会呼唤我的名字
Never an honest word
再没有诚实的话语呵
But that was when I ruled the world
但那就是我主宰这世界的时刻


(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh) 哦
Hear Jerusalem's bell's ringing
我听见耶路撒冷传来的钟声
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
罗马的骑兵军歌嘹亮
Be my mirror my sword and shield
利剑和盾牌映出我的宿命
My missionaries in a foreign field
我的传教士们在异国的沙场征战
For some reason I can not explain
出于某种原因我无法说明
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
我知道圣彼德仍不会呼唤我的名字
Never an honest word
再没有诚实的话语呵
But that was when I ruled the world
但那就是我主宰这世界的时刻

[b][color=Navy]主唱Chris Martin在乐队中司职原声吉他,钢琴和键盘,他出生在多文市,他从15岁开始玩吉他,至今参加过三只乐队The Rockin' Honkies, The Red Rooster Boogie Band 和 Pectoralz,他最喜欢的乐队/歌手是Sparklehorse, The Flaming Lips, Tom Waits, Bob Dylan, Neil Young,现在在学校主修远古历史。如果问他为什么作起音乐,他肯定会坚决地告诉你,“摇滚就是我想要得一切东西,但是它他XX的根本和那些被吹嘘的一塌糊涂的花花绿绿的药丸,那跟摇滚没他XX的一点关系,也没必要把自己搞的神神叨叨,更没必要关心别人怎么看你,酷不酷和我的音乐没关系,摇滚乐的意义在于告诉你如何寻找最终的快乐。至于我们就喜欢一起四处闲逛和作音乐,我们不管别人怎么说,我们感到愉快而心安理得。有时候,我们看起来有些过于坦率,而且不关心我们到底该怎么做,但是,我确认我们热爱生活而且异常勤奋,我们只是不希望把时间浪费在那些陈词滥调的规矩上,我们不想为陈腐的人活着。
贝斯手GUY出生在苏格兰的费弗,但12岁的时候搬到了肯特市,13岁他开始弹BASS,以前只参加过一只乐队TIME OUT,他喜欢James Brown, Kool & The Gang, funk and soul。开始再学校主修工程学,但在去年辍学。GUY性格很倔强。
吉他手JON他出生在威尔士北部的摩德,当问及他的家乡他说,“那儿和音乐似乎没什么关联,但是Rhys Ifans 是在哪儿成长起来的。”JON11岁就开始玩吉他,COLDPLAY是他参加的第一只乐队,能得到他推崇的乐队只有The Stone Roses和Ride。他是个让人吃惊的家伙,除了作音乐,他还获得了数学和天文学的双学位。
鼓手WILL出生在南安普顿,现在在学校修生物。很小的时候就开始摆弄各种乐器,他进过一之叫做“肥老鼠”的乐队,至于喜欢什么乐队,他自己也说不清楚,但他说他最喜欢的是爱尔兰民谣。WILL的爸爸是考古学家,马丁总喜欢四处宣扬WILL的爸爸简直就是考古界的的迈克尔·杰克逊!WILL在乐队中最小而且巨捣蛋,他总是给你讲他在学校的趣事,比如“我的生物学教授总是在课上唠叨‘我用六个星期也说不完的证据说明,大猩猩的确有手淫的习惯’,哈哈那简直逗极了。乐队的每个人都喜欢他,马丁和WILL总有说不完的话,“天啊,你可不知道,WILL这家伙简直就是一个人体点唱机,他会的个比任何人都多,以前我们经常坐在寓所的楼梯上唱歌,你只要说出一个歌的名字,他立刻就能给你弹出来。他更适合作一个吉他手……”这时GUY回在旁边说;“WILL在事情上总是表现的坚强,而且他异常幽默……哦……他对迈克尔·欧文的印象出奇的好……世界上还有什么样的人比WILL更值得信赖?”[/color][/b]

[b][color=Navy]After surfacing in 2000 with the breakthrough single "Yellow," Coldplay quickly became one of the biggest bands of the new millennium, honing a mix of introspective Brit-pop and anthemic rock that landed the British quartet a near-permanent residence on record charts world-wide. The group's emergence was perfectly timed; Radiohead had just released the overly cerebral Kid A, while Oasis had ditched two founding members and embraced psychedelic experimentation on Standing on the Shoulders of Giants. U.K. audiences were hungry for a fresh-faced rock band with big aspirations and an even bigger sound, and Coldplay were more than happy to take the reigns. Parachutes went multi-platinum in several countries and earned the band their first Grammy, but Coldplay continued to grow into the 2000s, topping their debut album's success with higher record sales and an increased public profile.[/color][/b]
