Viva la vida

I used to rule the world

Dulu aku kuasai dunia

Seas would rise when I gave the word

Laut pasang saat ku perintah t'lah tiba

Now in the morning, I sleep alone

Kini pagi hari, sendiri tidurku

Sweep the streets I used to own

Menyapu jalan yang dulu milikku

I used to roll the dice

Dulu kulempar dadu

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

Rasa takut di mata musuhku

Listened as the crowd would sing

Kudengar masa bernyanyi

"Now the old king is dead, long live the king"

"Raja lama tiada, hidup raja baru"

One minute I held the key

Semenit kupegang kunci

Next, the walls were closed on me

Lalu tembok menutup diri

And I discovered that my castles stand

Dan kusadar istana tegak

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

Di tiang garam dan tiang pasir

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

Kudengar lonceng Yerusalem berbunyi

Roman cavalry choirs are singing

Paduan suara kavaleri Romawi bernyanyi

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

Jadilah cermin, pedang dan perisaiku

My missionaries in a foreign field

Misi suciku di negeri asing

For some reason, I can't explain

Entah kenapa, tak bisa kujelaskan

Once you'd gone, there was never

Setelah kau pergi, tak lagi ada

Never an honest word

Tak ada kata yang jujur

And that was when I ruled the world

Dan itulah saat aku kuasai dunia

It was a wicked and wild wind

Angin liar dan jahat menerpa

Blew down the doors to let me in

Merobohkan pintu untukku masuk

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

Pecah jendela dan suara genderang

People couldn't believe what I'd become

Orang tak percaya pada yang kut'lah jadi

Revolutionaries wait

Para revolusioner menanti

For my head on a silver plate

Kepalaku di piring perak nanti

Just a puppet on a lonely string

Hanya boneka di tali yang sepi

Oh, who would ever want to be king?

Oh, siapa mau menjadi raja?

I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

Kudengar lonceng Yerusalem berbunyi

Roman cavalry choirs are singing

Paduan suara kavaleri Romawi bernyanyi

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

Jadilah cermin, pedang dan perisaiku

My missionaries in a foreign field

Misi suciku di negeri asing

For some reason, I can't explain

Entah kenapa, tak bisa kujelaskan

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

Kutahu Santo Petrus tak panggil namaku

Never an honest word

Tak ada kata yang jujur

But that was when I ruled the world

Tapi itulah saat aku kuasai dunia

Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing

Dengar lonceng Yerusalem berbunyi

Roman cavalry choirs are singing

Paduan suara kavaleri Romawi bernyanyi

Be my mirror, my sword and shield

Jadilah cermin, pedang dan perisaiku

My missionaries in a foreign field

Misi suciku di negeri asing

For some reason, I can't explain

Entah kenapa, tak bisa kujelaskan

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

Kutahu Santo Petrus tak panggil namaku

Never an honest word

Tak ada kata yang jujur

But that was when I ruled the world

Tapi itulah saat aku kuasai dunia
