Freddie Mercury / Montserrat Caballé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Shaking all our lives
Guide me back
Once more
To yourself be true
Nam a ma I nam a ma I (I am a man I am a man)
Yoake kisetsu yume kibo
Umito hikariga youdeilu
Yes he told the truth (and he told the truth)
I love you for your silence
I love you for your peace (I love peace)
Sweep into my soul
Ooh, slowly take control
Sing it sing it sing it sing it sing it sing it sing it sing it
We are mortal
In the hands of gods who roll the dice
We are mortal
Victims of our weaknesses
The lyrics of the song Overture Piccante, by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé, are complex and multilayered. The opening lines of "Ah ah ah ah/Shaking all our lives" set the tone for the song. These sounds convey a sense of urgency and chaos and could be interpreted as a call to action to shake up people's lives. The following lines, "Guide me back/Once more/To yourself be true" could be interpreted as an appeal for self-discovery and the journey of finding your true self.
The next lines of the song provide a mix of English and Japanese, which adds an exotic touch to the song. "Eurt eb dog fo nam (Man of god be true)/Nam a ma I nam a ma I (I am a man, I am a man)" seem to be emphasizing the importance of being true to one's faith and identity. The Japanese lyrics "Yoake kisetsu yume kibo/Umito hikariga youdeilu" could be interpreted as a message of hope for a better future.
In the following lines, "Yes he told the truth (and he told the truth)/I love you for your silence/I love you for your peace (I love peace)/Sweep into my soul/Ooh, slowly take control" highlight the importance of honesty, peace, and control in a relationship. The song then ends on a philosophical note with the lines, "We are mortal/In the hands of gods who roll the dice/We are mortal/Victims of our weaknesses", emphasizing the fragility of life and the importance of being aware of our limitations.

Eu tinha 5 anos de idade quando minha mãe comprou esse disco, depois disso eu cismei que queria ser cantora de ópera, então todo final de semana que meu tio vinha visitar eu colocava o disco pra ele e "cantava" ele dizia que eu cantava bem pra não me deixar triste kkkk, hoje tenho pena dele pq eu o torturei durante muitos finais de semana. Eu amo esse álbum ❤️❤️❤️
