Coldplay今年的新專輯
Viva La Vida是西班牙文，翻譯在不同國家及不同用法而有所不同

在西班牙語的國家，"Viva La Vida"指的是"Live Life"或"Live The Life"的意思
翻成中文指的就是"活在當下"、"好好活著"

不過出生及成長在墨西哥的人們，同樣是西班牙語系國家
"Viva La Vida"會被詮釋成"為生命而慶祝"
在墨西哥，"Viva..."會備用在"慶祝..."句子上

我沒學過西班牙文，上面這段是從騎魔之釋迦看來的@_@

先不管Viva La Vida是什麼意思
剛聽到這首歌的時候，輕快的弦樂加上激情的編曲，讓我整個人精神都來了
隨著歌曲的進行來到副歌，一股莫名的感動從心裡湧現
這感覺太棒了，很少有一首歌在我第一次聽的時候就帶給我這樣的感覺
整張專輯還沒有完全聽完，因為我已經陷入"Viva La Vida"的無限迴圈了...囧

"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 enemies 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 are 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 know there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
(Ohhh)

It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People could not 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 are ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
(Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)

Hear Jerusalem bells are ringings
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
For some reason I can not explain
I know Saint Peter will call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
