Barcelona
(Freddie Mercury & Mike Moran)

I has this perfect dream
Un sueño me envolvió
This dream was me and you
Tal vez estás aquí
I want all the world to see
Un instinto me guiaba
A miracle sensation
My guide and inspiration
Now my dream is slowly coming true
The wind is a gentle breeze
El me habló de ti
The bells are ringing out
El canto vuela
They're calling us together
Guiding us forever
Wish my dream would never go away
¡Barcelona!
It was the first time that we met
¡Barcelona!
How can I forget
The moment that you stepped in the room
You took my breath away
¡Barcelona!
La música vibró
¡Barcelona!
Yella nos unió
And if God is willing
We will meet again
Someday
Let the songs begin
Déjalo nacer
Let the music play
Ahhhhhhh...
Make the voices sing
Nace un gran amor
Start the celebration
Ven a mi
And cry!
¦Grita!
Come alive
¦Viva!
And shake the foundations from the skies
Shaking all our lives
¦Barcelona!
Such a beautiful horizon
Like a jewel in the sun
Por ti seré gaviota de tu bella mar
¦Barcelona!
Abre tus puertas al mundo
If God is willing
If God is willing
If God is willing
Friends to the end
¦Viva!
¦Barcelona!

La Japonaise
(Freddie Mercury & Mike Moran)

I feel the power of the stranger inside me
A force of magic surrounds me
This fountain within me is overflowing
Peaceful and inviting
Beautiful and enticing
Rising sun bless me morning with a smile
A magic pearl from the seas
Born in a willow breaze
Loyal friend my guardian angel in the sky
You've served me well all these years
Greeting with both hands trusting with no fears
Till the end
When everything is golden and everything is oh
And everything is oh
My only living treasure on this earth
When everything is golden
Everything and everyone is ah

The Fallen Priest
(Freddie Mercury & Mike Moran & Tim Rice)

Free me, free yourself
A life of sacrifice controlled me
But those promises I made
No longer hold me
Mercurial more wayward by the hour
The shackles fall away I'm in your power
Free me, and free yourself
Come to me and let me lead you
I beg you, I beseech you to let go
My heaven is yours
And heaven is all I know
We are mortal
In the hands of God who roll the dice
Searching for an earthly paradise
So hard to find
We are mortal
Victims of our weaknesses and passion
We are reaching for the heights
(I am falling from the heights)
But I promise I would serve
I should be a rock against depravity and sin
Oh no sin no sin
Free yourself, let your life begin
Oh
To yourself be true
I am a man of God
I should not be here with you
Free me we are mortal ah
Come a little closer to the fire
To love and live that one desire
Denial of that love is treason
The love that we make
The force of our lives and it's reason
We are mortal
In the hands of Gods who roll the dice
Searching for an earthly paradise
So hard to find
We are mortal
Victims of our weaknessess and passion.
(I am falling, I am falling we, we are mortal)
Why do I believe in you
You're destroying my world
Hold nothing back
Give me all there is
I want it all
This is all there is
Prisoners of each others love
Prisoners of each others love

Ensueño
(Freddie Mercury & Mike Moran & Monserrat Caballé)

En mi sueño te vi
Tu luz llegaba de tan lejos
Tu voz penetra en mi
Vibra en ti
Vibra en mi
Suavemente me llevaba a ti
Oí el sonido
Tu voz dulcemente
Me decía: "Ven"
"Ven junto a mi"
Volver a vivir
Saber que mi sueño no está solo. Alienta en ti
Tú y yo cantando los dos
Yo soñaba en ser tu mismo mar, tu mar,
Es puente de unión
De nuestras almas
Vuelan, nos llaman
Al son de eternidad

The Golden Boy
(Freddie Mercury & Mike Moran & Tim Rice)

The boy had a way with words, he sang, he moved with grace
He entertained so naturally, no gesture out of place
His road in life was clearly ddrawn, he didn't hesistate
He played, they saw, he conquered as the master of his fate.
The girl had an iron soul no-one could recognise
Material ambition that her gentleness disguised
She gave herself to him certain of his fame
Wanted him for luxury, for limelight and his name.
And then he sang to her
I love you for your silence
I love you for your peace
The still and calm releases
That sweep into my soul
That slowly take control
I love you for your passion
I love you for your fire
The violent desire
That burns me in its flame
A love I dare not name
His rise was irresistable - he grew into the part
His explanation simply that he suffered for his art
No base considerations of some glittering reward
The prize was knowing that his work was noticed and adored
I love you for your silence
I love you for your peace
The still and calm releases
That sweep into my soul
That slowly take control
Yes he told the truth
Accepting every honour with a masterly display
Of well rehearsed reluctance to be singled out this way
He started to believe that he was all they said and more
While she forgot - she forgot the reasons she had wanted him before
I love you for your passion
I love you for your fire
The violent desire
That burns me in its flame
A love I dare not name
The still and calm releases
That sweep into my soul
That slowly take control
And when at last they fell apart she wished that she could be
The hardened heart of yesterday, as cynical as he.
By changing for the better, she had changed things for the worse.
The words that made them happy once now echoed ... echoed as a curse.

Guide Me Home
(Freddie Mercury & Mike Moran)

Now the wind has lost my sail
Now the scent has left my trial
Who will find me
Take care and side with me
Guide me back
Safely to my home
Where I belong...
Once more
Where is my star in heaven's bough
WHere is my strength, I need it now
Who can save me
Lead me to my destiny
Guide me home
Safely to my home
Once more
Guide me back
Safely to my home
Once more
But how can I go on?
How can I go on this way...

How Can I Go On
(Freddie Mercury & Mike Moran)

When all the salt is taken from the sea
I stand dethroned
I'm naked and I bleed
But when your finger points so savagely,
Is anybody there to believe in me
To hear my plea and take care of me?
How can I go on
From day to day
Who can make me strong in every way
Where can I be safe
Where can I belong
In this great big world of sadness
How can I forget
Those beautiful dreams that we shared
They're lost and they're no where to be found
How can I go on?
Sometimes I tremble in the dark
I cannot see
When people frighten me
I try to hide myself so far from the crowd
Is anybody there to comfort me
Lord... take care of me.
How can I go on
From day to day
Who can make me strong in every way
Where can I be safe
Where can I belong
In this great big world of sadness
How can I forget
Those beautiful dreams that we shared
They're lost and they're no where to be found
How can I go on?
