I used to rule the world 我曾经统治世界

Seas would rise when I gave the word 当我下了命令海洋将上升

Now in the morning I sleep alone 现在清晨，我独自睡眠

Sweep the streets I used to own 清扫我曾经拥有的街道

   

I used to roll the dice 我用掷骰子

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes 感到恐惧在我的敌人的眼睛

Listen as the crowd would sing: 听到的人群会唱：

"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" “现在老国王死了，国王万岁！ ”

   

One minute I held the key 一分钟我还持有钥匙

Next the walls were closed on me 接着，墙壁上的我收

And I discovered that my castles stand 我发现我的城堡矗立

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand 当盐柱和沙子支柱

   

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing 我听到耶路撒冷的钟声。

Roman Catholic choirs are singing 罗马天主教唱诗班唱歌

Be my mirror my sword and shield 是我的镜子，我的剑与盾

My missionaries in a foreign field 我在外国的传教士

For some reason I can't explain 出于某种原因，我无法解释

Once you go there was never, never an honest word 当你走后，我从未，从未诚实字

But that was when I ruled the world 但是，这是我统治了世界

(Ohhh) （噢噢噢）

   

It was the wicked and wild wind 这是邪恶的而狂野的风

Blew down the doors to let me in. 刮倒了大门，让我进去。

   

Shattered windows and the sound of drums 破碎的窗户和鼓的声音

People couldn't believe what I'd become 人们不能相信我将成

   

Revolutionaries wait 革命的等待

For my head on a silver plate 对于我的头放在银盘

Just a puppet on a lonely string 一个孤独的字符串只是一个傀儡

Oh who would ever want to be king? 啊谁真的愿意成为国王？

   

I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing 我听到耶路撒冷的钟声。

Roman Catholic choirs are singing 罗马天主教唱诗班唱歌

Be my mirror my sword and shield 是我的镜子，我的剑与盾

My missionaries in a foreign field 我在外国的传教士
