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

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

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

Sent 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

(anyway the wind blows)

I don't wanna 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 frightening me

(Galileo) Galileo

(Galileo) Galileo

Galileo Figaro

Magnifico

I'm just a poor boy, 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!)

Never let you go (Let me go!)

Never, never, never, never let me go

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

Anyway the wind blows

Hi rock fans, how are you?

I'm Paul Emerencio, creator of "Rock com Legendas"

And I usually give my opinion about the lyrics in the end of the videos

So, here we go:

I think this song is about the turbulent youth that Freddie Mercury had

As everyone knows, he wrote the lyrics

And he chose not to clarify the meaning

He said for each draw their own conclusions

But Brian May has said in an interview

That Freddie Mercury put a lot of himself into that song

According to the biography of Freddie

He moved frequently during childhood and adolescence

Not only houses, but also countries

This explains the "easy come, easy go", in my opinion

Freddie was always a bit effeminate

And you know that children in school don't forgive

At 8 years old, he was sent alone in a ship to study in India

Now imagine how it should be you arrive in a new country

In a new school

Being bullied every day, and without your family around

Later, in adolescence

He and his family have fled from a civil war in Zanzibar

And they settled in London

In short

The youth of Freddie Mercury was insane

And it's possible, or probable

That at some point he thought about giving up everything

Give up on life

Some words in the lyrics appear in the Qu'ran

As "Bismillah", which means "In the name of Allah"

These words are from Freddie's parents religion

And when he says in the lyrics:

“will you let me go?”

And the answer is: “Bismillah! No, we will not let you go”

For me this part shows the support that Freddie received from his family

If in fact he went through a period of instability

Many people think this song is about homosexuality

Or bisexuality of Freddie Mercury

I think it could be truth

But unlike most

I don't believe this to be the central theme of song

For me, the point is all difficulties he faced in childhood

And that includes, of course

The prejudice due to his sexual orientation.
