歌曲：viva la vida

歌手：Coldplay

歌词背景：viva la vida是西班牙语，意思是Long live life(生命万岁)。这首歌原唱是英伦摇滚乐团Coldplay。以路易十六的口吻诉说，其背景是法国大革命前后。歌词里歌颂的生命万岁是指自由的意思，生命不是单纯活着，而是自由的有意义的活着。歌名是西班牙语 ，也是一句名句。

教学建议：这首歌是Coldplay一首节奏较快的歌，可以在课前播放，吸引学生兴趣。教师在教授学生“国家与民族”该单元时，可以借助该视频，让学生从历史角度了解法国，客观地看待一个国家。同时，歌曲中串联的历史知识，也可以扩大学生的知识面。

歌词：

Viva La Vida  生命万岁

I used to rule the world

昔日万邦孤为王

Seas would rise when I gave the word

四海沉浮吾独断

Now in the morning I sleep alone

今朝悚悟广寒中

Sweep the streets I used to own

茕茕孑立如孤魂

I used to roll the dice

昔日生杀吾人掌

Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes

谈笑声中枭敌首

Listen as the crowd would sing:

略听草民高声赞

"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

成王败寇皆正义！

One minute I held the key

黄袍加身掌权柄­

Next the walls were closed on me

万丈高墙孤自囚

And I discovered that my castles stand

枉有阿房三千里

Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand

根如酥盐碎沙砾

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

圣城钟声惊孤魂

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

骁骑战歌讥吾行

Be my mirror my sword and shield

诤友忠谏与勇将

My missionaries in a foreign field

旨谕番邦诸王知！

For some reason I can't explain

天子寂然事终焉

Once you go there was never, never an honest word

君可知？为王称孤，绝尽诤言终愚己

That was when I ruled the world

此诚寡人为王一世鉴

It was the wicked and wild wind

滚滚红尘­如浪潮

Blew down the doors to let me in

寡人逐流如朽竹

Shattered windows and the sound of drums

贼逆兵祸百业零

People couldn't believe what I'd become

世人皆惊英雄殁

Revolutionaries wait

弑君志士皆翘首

For my head on a silver plate

血祭孤首谢干支

Just a puppet on a lonely string

如若傀儡随弦舞

Oh who would ever want to be king?

谁愿称王百年孤

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing

圣城钟声惊孤魂

Roman Cavalry choirs are singing

骁骑战歌讥吾行­

Be my mirror my sword and shield

诤友忠谏与勇将

My missionaries in a foreign field

旨谕番邦诸王知：

For some reason I can't explain

天子寂然事终焉

I know Saint Peter won't call my name

圣人离弃吾自知

Never an honest word

绝尽诤言终愚己

But that was when I ruled the world

此诚寡人为王一世鉴­
