Queen-A night at the opera
The Music

"Bohemian Rhapsody". Elton John y Axl Rose

Bohemian Rhapsody es para muchos la mejor canción de Queen....

Bohemian Rhapsody es para muchos la mejor canción de Queen. Fue el primer sencillo del disco A night at the opera, y rápidamente alcanzó el nº 1 en el Reino Unido. Se considera que es la primera canción de la historia que contó con un vídeo musical de promoción.

Esta versión es la que cantaron Elton John y el vocalista de Guns N’ Roses, Axl Rose, en el concierto celebrado en el estadio de Wembley el 20 de abril de 1992 en memoria de Freddie Mercury, fallecido a causa del sida el año anterior.

No por archiconocida vamos a perder la oportunidad de disfrutarla una vez más, esta vez de la mano de otros dos grandes.

Su letra dice así:

Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landside,
No escape from reality
Open your eyes,
Look up to the skies and see,
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy,
Because I'm easy come, easy go,
Little high, little low,
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to
me, to me

Mamaaa,
Just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger,
now he's dead
Mamaaa, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away
Mama, oooh,
Didn't mean to make you cry,
If I'm not back again this time tomorrow,
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

Too late, my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all
the time
Goodbye, everybody, I've got to go,
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
Mama, oooh
I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all.

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouch, Scaramouch, will you do the Fandango!

Thunderbolts and lightning, very, very frightening me
Galileo, Galileo
Galileo, Galileo
Galileo, Figaro - magnificoo

I'm just a poor boy nobody loves me
He's just a poor boy from a poor family,
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go
Bismillah! No, we will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let him go!) Bismillah! We will not let you go
(Let me go) Will not let you go
(Let me go)(Never) Never let you go
(Let me go) (Never) let you go (Let me go) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me,
for meee

So you think you can stop me and spit in my eye
So you think you can love me and leave me to die
Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby,
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here

Nothing really matters, Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters,
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows...
