Bohemian Rhapsody Lyrics

Artist: Queen

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.

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, 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.

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango.
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very fright'ning 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.

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.

I love this song, is one of my favorites :)
by Arman Mkhitaryan on 10/2/2008 8:04am
The song is one of the bests!

Fandango is a national Spanish dance.
Scaramouche is a hero from an Italian comedy.
Bismillah - the words which preface all except one of the surahs of the Koran, used by Muslims as a blessing before eating or some other action Etymology: shortened from Bismillah-ir-Rahman-ir-Rahim , from Arabic , literally: in the name of God , the merciful and compassionate.

In love memory of Freddie!

Awesome site and thanks 4 the lyrics my friends and i are always sining it and i always get the words mixed up so this is really gonna help
by Gerald from Brazil on 11/11/2008 8:49am
It seems to me that the man killed in that song was himself. Mercury just killed his old himself to born again accepting his new personality. And everything took place because of a love deception..."so you think you can love me and leave to die"...WHAT DO YOU THINK, GUYS?
by Sylvia ( Brasil ) on 11/11/2008 8:58am
The song is just fantastic. Thanks to ARMAN MKHITARYAN for the nice informations. Bohemian Rapsody is realy a cultural icon.

fredy died of aids
by p on 11/11/2008 6:37pm
es una mierda
by My thoughts on 11/12/2008 10:23pm
That he (Mercury) is the one that dies in the song. (aids) Or possibly in loving someone else and passing the aids on to them (pulled my trigger now he's dead). The "body's aching all the time" part seems to fit with the aids theme.

Mercury=no morals...BUT vastly talented. JMHO
by Z-boom on 11/14/2008 2:47pm
Bismillah ý haven't noticed that word nice song ....
ý think that means with god or sthng....
lol

This song is him telling his mom he is gay (Mama just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he's dead)he is not talking literally he is talking about his manhood!

by Rashid on 3/12/2012 1:19am
The man is dead. The song lives on. Nobody really knows the real meaning to the lyrics. It's a classic piece and only Freddie and HE know what it is all about.
by Way. Deghu on 4/18/2012 5:56am
this is really amazing
by Shane on 4/20/2012 1:23am
Mercury wrote this song as a tribute to the classic book "The Stranger" by Albert Camus. Read it sometime and you'll see that the song follows the story exactly. Very existential.
by jessie on 4/22/2012 7:25am
Cool. the greatest song ever

This song was written long before he had aids.

A very interesting song indeed
by ziofoffo on 8/27/2012 3:24pm
freddy for ever
by A Brony that loves Music on 1/29/2013 1:59am
I used to be very depressed. I was sad and had nothing to live for. Then, I heard songs by Queen, the Beatles, and the Rolling Stones. Rolling Stones and the Beatles helped a bit, but then I heard this song, and I felt so much better, so much less depressed. Not my favorite song, but it is awesome. God bless America and the most famous musicians ever seen in America.
by lolololololol on 1/20/2014 5:56am
Weirdest lyrics ever but decent song
