Berikut adalah terjemahan Bahasa Indonesia dari lirik lagu milik Coldplay yang berjudul Viva La Vida.
I used to rule the
world
Dulu kukuasai dunia
Seas would rise when
I gave the word
Lautan kan naik bila kuperintahkan
Now in the morning I
sweep alone
Kini di pagi hari kusapu sendiri
Sweep the streets I
used to own
Kusapu jalanan yang dulu kukuasai
I used to roll the
dice
Dulu aku sering berjudi
Feel the fear in my
enemy's eyes
Merasakan ketakutan di mata musuhku
Listened as the crowd
would sing
Mendengarkan saat orang-orang bernyanyi
Now the old king is
dead long live the king
Kini sang raja tua sudah meninggal, hidup raja
One minute I held the
key
Kupegang kunci satu menit
Next the walls were
closed on me
Selanjutnya dinding-dinding menutupku
And I discovered that
my castles stand
Dan kudapati istanaku berdiri
Upon pillars of salt
and pillars of sand
Di atas tiang garam dan tiang pasir
CHORUS 1
I hear Jerusalem
bells a-ringing
Kudengar bel Yerusalem berdentang
Roman cavalry choirs
are singing
Koor kavaleri Romawi bernyanyi
Be my mirror, my
sword and shield
Jadilah cerminku, pedangku dan tamengku
Missionaries in a
foreign field
Misionari di medan tak dikenal
For some reason I
can't explain
Karena beberapa alasan tak bisa kujelaskan
Once you'd gone there
was never
Begitu kau pergi tak pernah ada
Never an honest word
Tak pernah ada kata jujur
And that was when I
ruled the world
Dan saat itulah kukuasai dunia
It was a wicked and
wild wind
Ini angin jahat dan liar
Blew down the doors
to let me in
Membuka pintu tuk biarkanku masuk
Shattered windows and
the sound of drums
Porak-porandakan jendela dan suara genderang
People couldn't
believe what I'd become
Orang tak percaya jadinya diriku kini
Revolutionaries wait
Para revolusioner menunggu
For my head on a
silver plate
Kepalaku memakai di pelat perak
Just a puppet on a
lonely string
Hanya boneka di tali tipis
Oh who would ever
want to be king?
Oh siapa yang ingin jadi raja?
CHORUS 2 (2x)
I hear Jerusalem
bells a-ringing
Kudengar bel Yerusalem berdentang
Roman cavalry choirs
are singing
Koor kavaleri Romawi bernyanyi
Be my mirror, my
sword and shield
Jadilah cerminku, pedangku dan tamengku
Missionaries in a
foreign field
Misionaris di medan tak dikenal
For some reason I
can't explain
Karena beberapa alasan tak bisa kujelaskan
I know St Peter won't
call my name
Aku tahu Saint Peter takkan memanggil namaku
Never an honest word
Tak pernah ada kata jujur
But that was when I
ruled the world
Tapi saat itulah kukuasi dunia
