Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballй Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ah ah ah ah
Shaking all our lives

Guide me back
Once more

To yourself be true
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)

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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé's "Overture Piccante" are quite abstract and require us to delve deeper into their meaning. The opening lines "Ah ah ah ah, shaking all our lives" could be interpreted as the instability and chaos that exists in our lives. The next line "Guide me back once more" is a cry for guidance from a higher power who can provide stability and direction in life. The line "To yourself be true" suggests that this guiding force is none other than oneself, implying the importance of self-awareness and staying true to oneself.


The following lines "Eurt eb dog fo nam, Nam a ma I nam a ma I" are actually the reverse of the phrase "Man of god be true, I am a man I am a man" which suggests the importance of being grounded in reality and staying true to one's identity. The next two lines, "Yoake kisetsu yume kibo, Umito hikariga youdeilu" are in Japanese and mean "Dawn, season, dream, hope, sea, and shining light." This could symbolize the cyclical nature of life with its ups and downs, and the need for hope and light in dark times.


The chorus, "We are mortal, In the hands of gods who roll the dice, We are mortal, Victims of our weaknesses" speaks to the fragility of human life and the realization that we are not in control of everything that happens to us. We are, to some extent, at the mercy of fate and our own weaknesses. Overall, the lyrics of "Overture Piccante" seem to celebrate the unpredictability of life and the need for self-awareness and hope in dark times.
