Original Lyrics
Translation in Spanish

verse

Welcome to your life
Bienvenido a tu vida
There′s no turning back
No hay vuelta atrás
Even while we sleep
Incluso mientras dormimos
We will find you
Te encontraremos

chorus

Acting on your best behaviour
Comportándote de la mejor manera
Turn your back on Mother Nature
Dale la espalda a la madre naturaleza
Everybody wants to rule the world
Todos quieren dominar el mundo

verse

It's my own design
Es mi propio diseño
It′s my own remorse
Es mi propio remordimiento
Help me to decide
Ayúdame a decidir
Help me make the
Ayúdame a hacer el

chorus

Most of freedom and of pleasure
Mayoría de libertad y placer
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nada dura para siempre
Everybody wants to rule the world
Todos quieren dominar el mundo

bridge

There's a room where the light won't find you
Hay un lugar, donde la luz no te encontrará
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
Estrechando manos, mientras los muros se derrumban
When they do, I′ll be right behind you
Cuando lo hagan, yo estaré justo a tu lado

chorus

So glad we′ve almost made it
Tan contentos de que casi lo consiguiéramos
So sad they had to fade it
Tan tristes de que tuvieran que desvanecerse
Everybody wants to rule the world
Todos quieren dominar el mundo
I can't stand this indecision
No puedo aguantar esta indecisión
Married with a lack of vision
Casado con la falta de visión
Everybody wants to rule the-
Todos quieren dominar el
Say that you′ll never, never, never, never need it
Dices que tu nunca, nunca, nunca, nunca lo necesitarás
One headline, why believe it?
Un titular, ¿por qué creerselo?
Everybody wants to rule the world
Todos quieren dominar el mundo
All for freedom and for pleasure
Todo por la libertad y el placer
Nothing ever lasts forever
Nada dura para siempre
Everybody wants to rule the world
Todos quieren dominar el mundo
Writer(s): Roland Orzabal, Ian Stanley, Chris Hughes
