Viva La Vida - Ukuhunyushwa kwesiZulu - 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 - Ukuhunyushwa kwesiZulu - Coldplay - LYRICS - Ingoma

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

Ngangivame ukuba sibuse izwe
Pacific uyovuka lapho ngiyeka izwi

Manje ekuseni ngilala ngedwa
Shanela ezitaladini Ngangivame ukuba ngumnikazi
Ngangivame Roll idayisi, uzizwa ukwesaba emehlweni isitha yami
Lalela njengoba isixuku wayecula
Manje iNkosi ubudala ufile, mana iNkosi
iminithi ebengisho lwalubalulekile
Okulandelayo izindonga zavalwa kimi
Futhi ngathola ukuthi izinqaba zami
Ezinsikeni kasawoti nezinsika isihlabathi

[Chorus 1]
Ngizwa eJerusalema Bells a-ukukhala
Roman Cavalry abahlabeleli bahlabelela
Yiba esibukweni sami, inkemba ami nesihlangu

izithunywa zevangeli wami ensimini yakwelinye izwe
Ngesizathu esithile angikwazi ukuchaza
Uma uzowathola eya khona wayengalokothi
Ungalokothi igama ngokwethembeka
Futhi lokho kwenzeka ngiseneminyaka wabusa umhlaba

[Ivesi 2]
Kwakuwusuku umoya omubi kanye zasendle
Bashaya phansi iminyango ngingenise
amafasitela abaphihliza futhi umsindo izigubhu
Abantu abakwazanga ukukholelwa lokho ngingathanda babe
Abavukeli ulinde
Ngokuba ikhanda lami ipuleti esiliva
Vele unodoli ku yezinhlamvu Uwedwa

Oh abangathanda ngabe ufuna ukuba yinkosi?

[Chorus 2]
Ngizwa eJerusalema Bells a-ukukhala
Roman Cavalry abahlabeleli bahlabelela
Yiba esibukweni sami, inkemba ami nesihlangu
izithunywa zevangeli wami ensimini yakwelinye izwe
Ngesizathu esithile angikwazi ukuchaza
Ngazi Saint Peter ngeke lingibiza
Ungalokothi igama ngokwethembeka
Kodwa lokho kwenzeka ngiseneminyaka wabusa umhlaba

[Outro]
Ngizwa eJerusalema Bells a-ukukhala

Roman Cavalry abahlabeleli bahlabelela
Yiba esibukweni sami, inkemba ami nesihlangu
izithunywa zevangeli wami ensimini yakwelinye izwe
Ngesizathu esithile angikwazi ukuchaza
Ngazi Saint Peter ngeke lingibiza
Ungalokothi igama ngokwethembeka
Kodwa lokho kwenzeka ngiseneminyaka wabusa umhlaba
