Westlife-《Viva La Vida》生命万岁！
[flash=480,400,0]http://player.youku.com/player.php/sid/XMjI1MzU1MTUy/v.swf[/flash]
刚刚百无聊赖，觉得做什么都木有意思的时候，突然想到这首歌，一听精神就重新振奋，自己鸡冻了还不够上来分享个，吼吼。
西城，是最喜欢的外国歌星了，没有之一。还记得第一次把焦点放到英文歌上就是从老师放的《Seasons in the Sun》起，自此对他们的喜欢一发不可收拾，然后再更多地接触别的外国歌手、外国歌曲。。
一眨眼过去了这么多年了，见证他们从青涩滴大男孩变成了如今各自组建了家庭的大男人（P.S.我最爱滴豚鼠不知道肿么样了[s:271]最希望的就是看到他幸福了），从五个人变成四个人。。
丢了那么多，说说这首歌，原唱是Coldplay，viva la vida是西班牙语，生命万岁的意思。歌曲不仅仅旋律大气磅礴、铿锵有力，更富有深刻的内涵。不过网上说法不一，每个人的体会也不同，生命、自由、政治等等，音乐是要自己去体会的，自己感受到的是什么就是什么吧。
这里从网上转来一篇非常优秀的歌词翻译，如下：
Viva La Vida
生命万岁
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
大千世界曾由我主宰
巨浪也曾因我之命澎湃
而今我却在黎明独自入眠
在曾属于我的大道落寞徘徊
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!"
凡人生死曾由我主宰
尽情品味惊恐在死敌瞳孔绽开
欣然倾听百姓高歌喝彩：
“先王亡矣！新王万代！”
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
此刻我手握权位经脉
转瞬才知宫墙深似海
恍然发现我的城池
基底散如盐沙乱似尘埃
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
听那耶路撒冷钟声传来
罗马骑兵歌声震彻山海
担当我的明镜，利剑和盾牌
我的传教士屹立边疆之外
For some reason I can't explain
Once you go there was never,
never an honest word
That was when I ruled the world
只因一些缘由我无法释怀
一旦你离开这里便不再，
不再有逆耳忠言存在
而这便是我统治的时代
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
凛冽邪风呼啸袭来
吹散重门使我深陷阴霾
断壁残垣礼崩乐坏
世人不敢相信我已当年不再
Revolutionaries wait
For my head on a silver plate
Just a puppet on a lonely string
Oh who would ever want to be king?
起义大军翘首期待
有朝一日我站上断头台
恰如傀儡随吊线寂寞摇摆
悲哉，谁又曾渴望万人膜拜？
I hear Jerusalem bells a ringing
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
Be my mirror my sword and shield
My missionaries in a foreign field
听那耶路撒冷钟声传来
罗马骑兵歌声震彻山海
担当我的明镜，利剑和盾牌
我的传教士屹立边疆之外
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
只因一些缘由我无法释怀
我亦知天堂之门不会为我敞开
不再有逆耳忠言存在
但这却是我统治的时代
