Viva La Vida / Jashn-e-Bahara

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
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 go there was never
Never an honest word
And that was when I ruled the world
कहने को जशन-ए-बहरा है
इश्क़ यह देखके हैरान है
कहने को जशन-ए-बहरा है
इश्क़ यह देखके हैरान है
फूल से खुसबू खफा खफा है गुलसन में
छुपा है कोई रंज फ़िज़ा की चिलमन में
सारे सहमें नज़ारे हैं
सोए सोए वक़्त के धरे हैं
और दिल में कोई खोई सी बातें हैं
कहने को जशन-ए-बहरा है
इश्क़ यह देखके हैरान है
कहने को जशन-ए-बहरा है
इश्क़ यह देखके हैरान है
फूल से खुसबू खफा खफा है गुलसन में
छुपा है कोई रंज फ़िज़ा की चिलमन में
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

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
