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

Viva La Vida - Vertaling Afrikaans AF - Coldplay - Liedlirieke - LYRICS

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 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

[Chorus 1]

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'd gone there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world

[Verse 2]
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?

[Chorus 2]
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

[Outro]
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

Ek gebruik word om die wêreld te regeer
See sou styg wanneer ek die woord gee

Nou in die oggend Ek slaap alleen
Vee die strate het ek gebruik om te besit
Ek gebruik word om die dice te rol, voel die vrees in my vyand se oë
Luister as die skare sou sing
Nou is die ou King dood is, lank lewe die Koning
Een minuut ek het die sleutel
Volgende die mure is op my gesluit
En ek ontdek dat my kastele staan
By pilare van sout en pilare van sand

[Chorus 1]
Ek hoor Jerusalem klokke n lui
Romeinse Cavalerie kore sing
Moet my spieël, my swaard en skild

My sendelinge in 'n vreemde veld
Vir een of ander rede kan ek nie verduidelik
Sodra jy verby was daar nooit
Nooit 'n eerlike woord
En dit was toe ek die wêreld regeer

[Vers 2]
Dit was die bose en wilde wind
Blaas af die deure vir my laat in
Verpletter vensters en die klank van tromme
Mense kon nie glo wat ek geword het
revolusionêre wag
Vir my kop op 'n silwer bord
Net 'n marionet op 'n eensame string

O wie sou ooit wil koning wees?

[Chorus 2]
Ek hoor Jerusalem klokke n lui
Romeinse Cavalerie kore sing
Moet my spieël, my swaard en skild
My sendelinge in 'n vreemde veld
Vir een of ander rede kan ek nie verduidelik
Ek weet Saint Peter sal my naam nie noem
Nooit 'n eerlike woord
Maar dit was toe ek die wêreld regeer

[Outro]
Ek hoor Jerusalem klokke n lui

Romeinse Cavalerie kore sing
Moet my spieël, my swaard en skild
My sendelinge in 'n vreemde veld
Vir een of ander rede kan ek nie verduidelik
Ek weet Saint Peter sal my naam nie noem
Nooit 'n eerlike woord
Maar dit was toe ek die wêreld regeer
