Bohemian Rhapsody
波西米亚狂想曲
"Bohemian Rhapsody" is a song by the British rock band Queen. It was written by Freddie Mercury for the band's 1975 album A Night at the Opera. It is a six-minute suite, consisting of several sections without a chorus: an intro, a ballad segment, an operatic passage, a hard rock part and a reflective coda. The song is a more accessible take on the 1970s progressive rock genre.
“波西米亚狂想曲”是英国摇滚乐队皇后的一首歌。这是弗雷迪· 墨丘利（Freddie Mercury）为乐队1975年的专辑“歌剧院的夜晚”写的。这是一个6分钟的组曲，由几个部分组成，没有合唱：一个简介，民谣部分，一个歌剧段落，一个硬摇滚部分和一个完结部。这首歌是20世纪70年代进步摇滚流派的一个比较容易理解的作品。
When it was released as a single, "Bohemian Rhapsody" became a commercial success, staying at the top of the UK Singles Chart for nine weeks and selling more than a million copies by the end of January 1976. It reached number one again in 1991 for another five weeks when the same version was re-released following Mercury's death, eventually becoming the UK's third-best-selling single of all time. It is also the only song to be the UK Christmas number one twice by the same artist. It topped the charts in several other markets as well, including Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and The Netherlands, later becoming one of the best-selling singles of all time selling over six million copies worldwide. In the United States, the song originally peaked at number nine in 1976, but returned to the chart in 1992 after being used in the film Wayne's World and reached a new peak of number two on the Billboard Hot 100. The release of the film Bohemian Rhapsody in late 2018 resulted in renewed popularity and chart success worldwide for the song.
当它作为单曲发行时，“波西米亚狂想曲”在商业上获得了成功，它在英国单曲排行榜上保持了9周的领先地位，到1976年1月底销量超过100万张。同一版本在墨丘利去世后于1991年重新发行，并又一次登上榜首，且持续了五个星期。 最终成为英国有史以来第三畅销单曲。 这也是唯一一首由同一位艺术家演唱的两登英国圣诞节榜首的歌曲。 它在加拿大、澳大利亚、新西兰、爱尔兰和荷兰等其他几个市场也名列榜首，后来成为全球销量超过600万张的最畅销单曲之一。在美国，这首歌最初在1976年达到了第九的顶峰，但在1992年被用于电影《韦恩的世界》之后，又回到了排行榜上，并在公告牌热曲100中达到了第二的高峰。电影《波西米亚狂想曲》（Bohemian Rhapsody）于2018年底上映，这首歌在全球范围内重新流行并获得成功。
Although critical reaction was initially mixed, "Bohemian Rhapsody" became Queen's most popular song and is considered one of the greatest rock songs. The single was accompanied by a promotional video, which scholars consider ground-breaking. Rolling Stone stated that its influence "cannot be overstated, practically inventing the music video seven years before MTV went on the air." The Guardian ranked the music video for "Bohemian Rhapsody" number 31 on their list of the 50 key events in rock music history, adding it ensured "videos would henceforth be a mandatory tool in the marketing of music".
虽然评论界的反应最初是混乱的，“波西米亚狂想曲”还是成为女王乐队最流行的歌曲，并被认为是最伟大的摇滚歌曲之一。这首单曲附有一段宣传视频，学者们认为这段视频是突破性的。滚石杂志表示，它的影响力“不可能被夸大，它实际上是在MTV出现之前7年发明的音乐电视。”卫报将“波西米亚狂想曲”的音乐电视排在他们认定的摇滚音乐史上50个关键事件的第31位，并补充说，它确保“视频今后将成为音乐节目在市场营销中的一个离不开的工具”。
In 2004, "Bohemian Rhapsody" was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2012, the song topped the list on an ITV nationwide poll in the UK to find "The Nation's Favourite Number One" over 60 years of music, while Mercury's vocal performance was chosen as the greatest in rock history by readers of Rolling Stone. In December 2018, "Bohemian Rhapsody" became the most-streamed song from the 20th century, and the most-streamed of all classic rock songs. The number of downloads of the song and original video has exceeded 1.6 billion downloads across global on-demand streaming services.
2004年，“波西米亚狂想曲”入选格莱美名人堂。2012年，这首歌在英国独立电视台的一项全国性调查中名列榜首，在60多年的音乐史上，这首歌被评为“全国最受欢迎的第一名”，而《滚石》的读者则把墨丘利的演唱评为摇滚史上最伟大的声音。2018年12月，“波西米亚狂想曲”成为20世纪最流行的歌曲，也是所有经典摇滚歌曲中最流行的。这首歌在全球网络上的歌曲下载量和原始视频下载量已超过16亿次。
Bohemian Rhapsody
(Lyrics)
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,
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, oooh,
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, oooh -
I don't want to 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 -
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
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 - 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
