Bohemian Rhapsody

Bohemian Rhapsody

- Queen

昨天在facebook post了wednesday 3am, 內容係一個後生仔犯左事. 今日首歌其中一段亦講自己殺左人, 但真是殺左人? is this the real life? is this just fantasy? 還是如主音作曲者freddie mercury說的是為押韻而毫無意義的歌詞而已?

這首歌被認為是Queen最偉大的作品, 亦被多個投票選為有史以來最好的歌曲。

我認為這首歌最偉大的地方在於它的編曲: 全曲並沒有副歌, 卻分為六個風格迥異的段落, 段落與段落又神奇地夾得完美無暇. 六段音樂分別為

1. Intro (0:00 - 0:48)

2. Ballad (0:48 - 2:37)

3. Guitar Solo (2:37 - 3:03)

4. Opera (3:03 - 4:08)

5. Heavy Metal (4:08 - 4:55)

6. Outro (4:55 - 5:55)

以下為歌詞:

[Intro]

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, Little high, little low,

Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to me, to me

[Ballad]

Mama I 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, ooh, 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, ev'rybody, I've got to go,

Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth

Mama, ooh, I don't want to die,

I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

[Guitar Solo]

[Opera]

I see a little silhouetto of a man,

Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango

[ From : http://www.elyrics.net/read/q/queen-lyrics/bohemian-rhapsody-lyrics.html ]

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) 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 me

[Heavy Metal]

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

[Outro]

Nothing really matters, Anyone can see,

Nothing really matters,

Nothing really matters to me

Any way the wind blows
