Да здравствует Жизнь! (перевод)
Раньше я правил миром,
Одного моего слова было достаточно, чтобы вздыбить моря.
Теперь же утром я в одиночестве подметаю,
Подметаю улицы, которые когда-то принадлежали мне.
Я бросал кости,
Чувствовал страх в глазах моих врагов,
слушал, как толпа пела:
"Король мёртв! Да здравствует король!"
В одну минуту я держал ключ,
А уже в следующую - стены начали давить на меня,
И я узнал, что мои замки стоят
На колоннах из соли и песка.
Я слышу: Иерусалимские колокола звонят,
Колокола римской кавалерии поют:
Будьте моим зеркалом, моим мечом и щитом,
Моими посланниками на чужой земле!
Знаешь, по непонятной мне причине,
Тогда не звучало ни единого честного слова -
Так было, когда я правил миром.
Как-то свирепый, неистовый ветер,
Сорвал двери, чтобы впустить меня.
Разбитые вдребезги окна и звук барабанов -
Люди не могли поверить, чем я стал.
Революционеры ждут
Моей головы на серебряной тарелке,
Как марионетку на одной ниточке.
О, кто когда-нибудь захочет стать королём?
Я слышу: Иерусалимские колокола звонят,
Колокола римской кавалерии поют:
Будьте моим зеркалом, моим мечом и щитом,
Моими посланниками на чужой земле!
По непонятной мне причине,
Знаю, Святой Пётр не впомнит про меня -
Ведь ни единого честного слова не прозвучало,
Тогда, когда я правил миром...
Я слышу: Иерусалимские колокола звонят,
Колокола римской кавалерии поют:
Будьте моим зеркалом, моим мечом и щитом,
Моими посланниками на чужой земле!
По непонятной мне причине,
Знаю, Святой Пётр не впомнит про меня -
Ведь ни единого честного слова не прозвучало,
Тогда, когда я правил миром...
О-о-о...

I used to rule the world
Seas would rise when I gave the word
Now in the morning I sweep alone
Sweep the streets I used to own
I used to roll the dice
Feel the fear in my enemy's 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 a 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 go there was never, never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
It was the wicked and wild wind
Blew down the doors to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
People couldn't 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 a 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
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Ooooo ooooo ooooo oooooo ooooo
(Repeat with chorus)
I hear Jerusalem bells a 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
I know Saint Peter won't call my name
Never an honest word
But that was when I ruled the world
Oooooh Oooooh Oooooh
Long live Life! (transfer)
I used to rule the world
My word alone was enough to raise the sea.
Now in the morning I sweep alone
I sweep the streets that once belonged to me.
I threw the dice
Felt fear in the eyes of my enemies
listened to the crowd singing:
"The king is dead! Long live the king!"
In one minute I held the key
And the very next - the walls began to put pressure on me,
And I found out that my locks are standing
On columns of salt and sand.
I hear Jerusalem bells ringing
The bells of the Roman cavalry are sung:
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My messengers in a foreign land!
You know, for some reason I don’t understand,
Then not a single honest word sounded -
That was when I ruled the world.
Somehow a fierce, frantic wind
He tore the door to let me in.
Shattered windows and the sound of drums -
People could not believe what I had become.
Revolutionaries are waiting
My head on a silver plate
Like a puppet on one string.
Oh, who ever wants to be king?
I hear Jerusalem bells ringing
The bells of the Roman cavalry are sung:
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My messengers in a foreign land!
For an incomprehensible reason to me,
I know Saint Peter doesn’t remember about me -
After all, not a single honest word has been heard,
Then when I ruled the world ...
I hear Jerusalem bells ringing
The bells of the Roman cavalry are sung:
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
My messengers in a foreign land!
For an incomprehensible reason to me,
I know Saint Peter doesn’t remember about me -
After all, not a single honest word has been heard,
Then when I ruled the world ...
