Lirik lagu "Bohemian Rhapsody", karya legendaris dari Queen

1 month ago 29

Jakarta (ANTARA) - Siapa yang tak kenal lagu "Bohemian Rhapsody" karya Queen? Lagu tersebut ditulis oleh sang vokalis Freddie Mercury untuk album A Night at the Opera yang dirilis pada 1975.

Kendati lagu itu berdurasi hampir enam menit, namun Bohemian Rhapsody tidak terdengar membosankan karena Queen berhasil meramu lagu itu layaknya sebuah opera.

Bohemian Rhapsody diciptakan tanpa chorus atau reff, namun memiliki intro yang sangat identik. Setelah intro, lagu itu masuk ke segmen ballads yang ringan menggunakan piano, kemudian berubah tempo menjadi rock, dan menjelma opera pada bagian tengahnya. Coda lagu ini dibawakan dengan cara rock progresif yang diiringi lead gitar Brian May, lalu ditutup dengan ballads piano dan vokal dari Freddie Mercury.

Lagu ini menjadi misteri karena tidak ada yang bisa mendefinisikan makna atau arti Bohemian Rhapsody karena Freddie Mercury yang menulis lagu itu pun tak pernah menjelaskan arti di balik lagu tersebut.

Lagu ini kembali meledak di pasaran setelah dirilisnya film Bohemian Rhapsody pada tahun 2018. Film yang dibintangi Rami Malek sebagai Freddie Mercury itu mengisahkan perjalanan Queen serta kehidupan pribadi Freddie Mercury hingga konser legendaris Live Aid di Stadion Wembley.

Berikut lirik lagu "Bohemian Rhapsody" oleh 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, everybody, I've got to go
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth

Mama, ooh (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-o-o-o-o

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!)
Will not let you go (Let me go!)
Never let you go (Never, never, never, never let me go)

Oh oh oh oh
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
Oh, mamma mia, mamma mia (Mamma 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
Ooh, ooh yeah, ooh yeah

Nothing really matters
Anyone can see
Nothing really matters
Nothing really matters to me
Any way the wind blows
