Tekst Pjesme
I used to rule the world
– Nekad sam vladao svijetom
Seas would rise when I gave the word
– Mora će se uzdići kad dam riječ
Now in the morning, I sleep alone
– Sada ujutro spavam sama
Sweep the streets I used to own
– Čišćenje ulica koje su nekad bile moje
I used to roll the dice
– Nekad sam bacao kockice
Feel the fear in my enemy’s eyes
– Osjetite strah u očima mog neprijatelja
Listened as the crowd would sing
– Slušao kako publika pjeva
“Now the old king is dead, long live the king”
– “Sada je stari kralj mrtav, Živio kralj”
One minute I held the key
– Jednu minutu držao sam ključ u rukama
Next, the walls were closed on me
– Tada su se zidovi zatvorili oko mene
And I discovered that my castles stand
– I otkrio sam da moje brave stoje
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
– Na stupovima soli i pješčanim stupovima
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
– Čujem zvonjavu jeruzalemskih zvona
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
– Pjevaju zborovi Rimske konjice
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
– Budi moje ogledalo, moj mač i štit
My missionaries in a foreign field
– Moji misionari u stranoj zemlji
For some reason, I can’t explain
– Iz nekog razloga, ne mogu objasniti
Once you’d gone, there was never
– Jednom kad si otišao, nikad više nije bilo
Never an honest word
– Nikad niti jedna iskrena riječ
And that was when I ruled the world
– I to je bilo kad sam vladao svijetom
It was a wicked and wild wind
– Bio je to ljut i Divlji Vjetar
Blew down the doors to let me in
– Srušili su vrata da me puste unutra
Shattered windows and the sound of drums
– Razbijeni prozori i zvuk bubnjeva
People couldn’t believe what I’d become
– Ljudi nisu mogli vjerovati tko sam postao
Revolutionaries wait
– Revolucionari čekaju
For my head on a silver plate
– Za moju glavu na srebrnom pladnju
Just a puppet on a lonely string
– Samo žrtva na usamljenoj žici
Oh, who would ever want to be king?
– Oh, tko bi ikada želio biti kralj?
I hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
– Čujem zvonjavu jeruzalemskih zvona
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
– Pjevaju zborovi Rimske konjice
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
– Budi moje ogledalo, moj mač i štit
My missionaries in a foreign field
– Moji misionari u stranoj zemlji
For some reason, I can’t explain
– Iz nekog razloga, ne mogu objasniti
I know Saint Peter won’t call my name
– Znam da Sveti Petar neće reći moje ime
Never an honest word
– Nikad niti jedna iskrena riječ
But that was when I ruled the world
– Ali tada sam vladao svijetom
Hear Jerusalem bells a-ringing
– Čujte zvonjavu jeruzalemskih zvona
Roman cavalry choirs are singing
– Pjevaju zborovi Rimske konjice
Be my mirror, my sword and shield
– Budi moje ogledalo, moj mač i štit
My missionaries in a foreign field
– Moji misionari u stranoj zemlji
For some reason, I can’t explain
– Iz nekog razloga, ne mogu objasniti
I know Saint Peter won’t call my name
– Znam da Sveti Petar neće reći moje ime
Never an honest word
– Nikad niti jedna iskrena riječ
But that was when I ruled the world
– Ali tada sam vladao svijetom
