Bohemian Rhapsody
Is this the real life -
Is this just fantasy -
Caught in a landslide -
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,
A little high, little low,
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me,
- to me -,
Mama, just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger, now he's dead,
Mama, life had just begun,
But now I've gone and thrown it all away -
Mama, ooo,
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, ooo -
I don't want to die,
I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all –
前几天听了AMERICAN IDOL 里面的冠亚军合唱的那首“we are the champion”,觉得太牛，就学习了一下QUEEN，发现这首“Bohemian Rhapsody”才是他们最好的作品，我觉得如果想选出摇滚史上最牛的十首歌肯定有这首，而且位置会非常靠前。不得不佩服这个乐队在三十年前就能创作出这么有力量的曲目，这首歌曲音乐元素复杂繁多，“在悠扬中蕴涵无尽伤痛的情绪，充分体现了乐队唯美精致的乐风”，虽然主唱FREDDIE的性取向有问题并最终死于艾滋，而且大多数歌曲的subtext都有深意，但仍然不影响QUEEN和这首歌划时代的巨力。我限于英语水平也就演绎到这个地步了，有兴趣的朋友到YOUTUBE上面看看他们在1986年的LIVE表演。
I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, scaramouche will you do the Fandango -
Thunderbolt and lightning - very very frightening me -
Galileo, Galileo,
Galileo, Galileo
Galileo figaro - Magnifico -
I'm just a poor boy and 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
Will not let you go - let me go
No, no, no, no, no, no, no -
Mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me go -
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me -
for me -
So you think you can stone 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...
