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,
A 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--hoo-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 everybody, I've got to go..
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth...
Mama ooo- (any way 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...
But I'm just a poor boy and nobody loves me...
Hes 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!
No, no, no, no, no, no, no!
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-cant 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 already know the meaning. XP

I always had a weird feeling for this song...so..."GALILEO! KABOOM! ITS A POOR BOY!!" XD

[J e e c o .]

I don't get it. I need time to understand this. XD

[AJ the Ass Slayer]

lonely emo boy who hates his mom?XD

[J e e c o .]

^You've a point. But I've heard this song before, and it's some weird opra. XD

[Blessed Devil]

Nope, the mom has little to do with the story despite the fact that the boy keeps mentioning her.

[AJ the Ass Slayer]

Broke up with a girl...?

[Blessed Devil]

Wrong again.

Important lines:

Mama, (I) just killed a man

If I'm not back again this time tomorrow
Carry on, carry on

I don't wanna die

He's just a poor boy from a poor family
Spare him his life from this monstrosity

Bismillah! (in the name of God)
No, we will not let you go!

Mama mia, let me go
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me

[mojako]

A murderer who is hunted by his inner demons?

[Blessed Devil]

Veeeery close.

But I'm kind of in the thought that not one of us is going to figure this out, since no one ever figured it out before.

The song is about a boy who accidentally killed someone, and sold his soul to the devil. On the night before his execution, he regains his soul from Satan with the help of angels.

[AJ the Ass Slayer]

Ah...kewl song.

[chuna]

The members of Queen didn't want to reveal the meaning cause they wanted people to have their own interpretations of it. But the accidental murder, satan vs. angels part was sorta true....daw.

According to Wikipedia, when the band released a Greatest Hits cassette in Iran a leaflet in farsi was included with translation and explanations of the lyrics. And that's what it says.
