Barcelona
F.Mercury & M.Caballe Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Un sueno me envolvio
This dream was me and you
Tal vez esta aqui
I want all the world to see
Un instinto me guiaba
A miracle sensation
My guide and inspiration
The wind is a gentle breeze
EI me hablo de ti
The bells are ringing out
EI canto vuela
They're calling us together
Guiding us forever
Wish my dream would never go away
Barcelona
It was the first time that we met
Barcelona
How can I forget
The moment that you stepped into the room
You took my breath away
Barcelona
La musica vibro
Barcelona
Yella nos unio
And if God is willing
We will meet again
Someday
Let the songs begin
Dejalo nacer
Let the music play
Ah
Make the voices sing
Nace un gran amor
Start the celebration
Ven a mi
And cry
Grita
Come alive
Vive
And shake the foundations from the skies
Shaking all our lives
Barcelona
Such a beautiful horizon
Barcelona
Like a jewel in the sun
Por ti sere gaviota de tu bella mar
Barcelona
Suenan las campanas
Barcelona
Abre tus puertas al mundo
If God is willing
If God is willing
If God is willing
Friends until the end
Viva!
Barcelona!
The song "Barcelona" by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe is a romantic and inspirational ode to the city of Barcelona, and how it brought them together. The lyrics describe a perfect dream where Mercury and Caballe are led by instinct to each other, and they sing about the beauty of Barcelona as an inspiration for their music and love. The song celebrates the idea of coming together to create a great love and music, and it encourages people to celebrate and enjoy life to the fullest.
The opening lines of the song refer to a dream that Mercury had about Caballe, which was the inspiration for the song. As he sings, he wants the whole world to see the miracle sensation that he felt when he met Caballe. Mercury describes Caballe as his guide and inspiration, and how his dream is slowly coming true. The chorus celebrates the majestic beauty of Barcelona, the place where they met, describing it as a jewel in the sun, with a beautiful horizon, calling them together forever.
The second half of the song is particularly moving, as it encourages listeners to let the music play, make their voices sing and start the celebration. The lyrics tell everyone to come alive, and shake the foundations of their lives, celebrating the joy and happiness of being alive. As the song comes to an end, Mercury and Caballe share their plea with the world, asking God to bring them together again, someday.
