Maneno Nyimbo - LYRICS

Viva La Vida - Kutafsiri kwa Kiswahili SW - Coldplay

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 - Kutafsiri kwa Kiswahili SW - Coldplay - Maneno Nyimbo - 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

Viva La Vida - Kutafsiri kwa Kiswahili SW - Coldplay

Nilikuwa kutawala dunia
Seas bila kupanda wakati mimi alitoa neno

Sasa asubuhi mimi kulala peke
Kufagia mitaa Nilikuwa kumiliki
Nilikuwa unaendelea kete, kuhisi hofu katika macho ya adui yangu
Sikiliza umati bila kuimba
Sasa King zamani amekufa, mrefu kuishi King
Dakika moja mimi na ufunguo
Next kuta ilifungwa me
Na mimi aligundua kwamba majumba yangu kusimama
Juu ya nguzo ya chumvi na nguzo ya mchanga

[Chorus 1]
Nasikia Jerusalem kengele-kupigia
Roman Cavalry kwaya wanaimba
Kuwa kioo yangu, upanga wangu na ngao

wamisionari yangu katika eneo la kigeni
Kwa sababu fulani siwezi kueleza
Kwa mara nyingine Ningependa wamekwenda kulikuwa na kamwe
Kamwe neno waaminifu
Na kwamba ni wakati mimi ilitawala dunia

[Mst 2]
Ilikuwa waovu na pori upepo
Akapiga chini milango basi mimi katika
Shattered madirisha na sauti ya ngoma
Watu hakuamini kile Ningependa kuwa
wanamapinduzi kusubiri
Kwa kichwa changu kwenye sahani fedha
Tu kibaraka juu ya upweke kamba

Oh ambao milele wanataka kuwa mfalme?

[Chorus 2]
Nasikia Jerusalem kengele-kupigia
Roman Cavalry kwaya wanaimba
Kuwa kioo yangu, upanga wangu na ngao
wamisionari yangu katika eneo la kigeni
Kwa sababu fulani siwezi kueleza
Najua Mtakatifu Petro si wito jina langu
Kamwe neno waaminifu
Lakini hiyo ni wakati mimi ilitawala dunia

[Outro]
Nasikia Jerusalem kengele-kupigia

Roman Cavalry kwaya wanaimba
Kuwa kioo yangu, upanga wangu na ngao
wamisionari yangu katika eneo la kigeni
Kwa sababu fulani siwezi kueleza
Najua Mtakatifu Petro si wito jina langu
Kamwe neno waaminifu
Lakini hiyo ni wakati mimi ilitawala dunia
