VivalaVida是英国摇滚乐队酷玩乐队ColdPlay演唱的歌曲。由克里斯•马汀、强尼•巴克兰、盖•贝瑞曼和威尔•查平填词谱曲，收录在酷玩乐队第四张录音室专辑《VivaLaVidaOrDeathAndAllHisFriends》中，于2008年5月25日通过Parlophone唱片和Capitol唱片发布。
歌曲以路易十六世的口吻叙述了一段苍凉悲怆的历史，曲风却异常欢快激昂，如同进行曲般的弦乐伴奏充满了激情，前后的反差衍生出的是豁达壮丽，不禁令人热泪盈眶。《VivaLaVida》在如柴可夫斯基般的行板中层层推进，激昂的弦乐再次取代吉他成为了乐章里呼风唤雨的角色。
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 are 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
But that was when I ruled the world
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
I hear Jerusalem bells are 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
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Hear Jerusalem bells are 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
