(Freddie's vocal slave)
[that wasn't bad]
[why don't we just carry on from there?]
I had this perfect dream
This dream was me and you
I want all the world to see
A miracle sensation
My guide and inspiration
Now my dream is slowly coming true
The wind is a gentle breeze
It whispers through the trees
The bells are ringing out
Their calling us together
Guiding us forever
Wish my dream would never go away
Barcelona
It was the first time that we met (Barcelona Barcelona)
Barcelona
How can I forget (Barcelona)
The moment that you walked (stepped) into the room you
took my breath away
Oh yeah
Barcelona (Barcelona Barcelona Barcelona)
Barcelona
And if God willing we will meet again
Someday
Uhm
Let the songs begin
And let the music play (bah bah bah bah bah bah)
Make the voices sing
Start the celebrations
Rise to the occasion and cry
Come alive
And shake the foundations from the skies
Ah ah ah ah shaking all our lives
Barcelona
Such a beautiful horizon
Barcelona
Like a jewel in the sun
Tonight my stars in having time we will be friends
Barcelona (yeah, right till the end, the end)
Friends untill the end
Viva

Subalashii asaga akelu
Yoakega yobikakelu
Kokorono izumiga wakidelu
Yumeno yo
I feel the power of a stranger inside me
A force of magic surrounds me
This fountain within me is overflowing
Peaceful and inviting
Beautiful and enticing
Yoake kisetsu yume kibo
Umito hikariga yondeilu
Rising sun will bless my morning with a smile
A magic pearl from the seas
Born in a willow breeze
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

Vibra en ti
Suavemente me llevaba a ti
Tu voz

[I am going last]
[I am going last]
[I was late huh?]
[take it from, take it from from after my first llevaba
a ti when Freddie comes in]
[me llevaba a ti oi]
Tu voz dulcemente
Me decia "Ven"
"Ven junto a mi"
Saber que mi sueno no esta solo
Alienta en ti
Tu y yo cantados los dos
Yo sonaba en ser tu mismo mar, tu mar,
Es puente de union
De nuestras almas
Vuelan, nos llaman
Al son de la eternidad
Aaaahaahahahaa
[the end the end was not]
[that was nice I just hope we got the edit we weren't
about]
[can we hear that back just the last bit, we hear it
back]
[yeah]
(early version: freddie's demo vocal)
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 drawn, he didn't hesitate
He played, they saw, he conquered as the master of
As the master of his fate
The girl had an iron soul that no-one could recognize
Material ambition that her gentleness disguised
She pinned to start to his it's a nolly job his fame
Wanted him for luxury for limelight and his name
I love you for your silence
I love you for your peace
The still and calm releases
That sweeps into my soul
That slowly slowly takes control
I love you for your passion
I love you for your fire
The violent desire
That strips me in it's flame
A love a love I dare not name
His rise was irresistible, he grew into the part
His explanation simply that he suffered for his art
His base considerations of some glittering reward
The prize was knowing that his work was noticed and
adored
Yeah
Accepting every honour with a masterly, masterly display
Of well rehearsed reluctance to be singled out this way
He started to believe that he was all that said and more
When she forgot the reasons she had wanted him before
Yeah
(2nd early version: extract)
[this time let it let it go forward]
[de dee da da da da da daa]
The boy had a way with word, he sang, he moved with

The prize was knowing da da da da da daa
[slow down]
Accepting every honour with a masterly display

Auw
(a capella featuring gospel choir)
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 drawn, he didn't hesitate
He played, they saw, he conquered as the master of
As the master of his fate
The girl had an iron soul no-one could recognize
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 it's flame
A love I dare not name
His rise was irresistible - yeah, 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) his work was
noticed and adored
Hey
I love you (yes I love you) for your silence (for your
silence)
I love you for your peace (for your peace)
The still and calm releases
That sweep into my soul
And slowly slowly takes control
He told the truth
Yes, he told the truth (and he told the truth)
Accepting every honour with (with) a masterly display
(display)
Of well rehearsed reluctance to be singled out this way
He started to believe that he was all they said and more
(and more)
She forgot, she forgot the reasons (reasons) she had
wanted him before
Yeah
I love you for your passion (for your passion)
I love you for your fire
The violent desire
That burns me in it's flame (burns me)
A love I dare not name
The still and calm releases (releases)
That sweep into my soul (sweep into my soul)
That slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly)
Slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly) slowly (slowly) 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
Aaahaaahaahaahaaa
(alternative versions)
Now my heart begins to bleed
