Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yoakega yobikakelu
Kokorono izumiga wakidelu
Yumeno yo
I feel the power of a stranger inside me
A force of magic surrounds me
This fountain within me is overflowing
Peaceful and inviting
Beautiful and enticing
Yoake kisetsu yume kibo
Umito hikariga yondeilu
Rising sun will bless my morning with a smile
A magic pearl from the seas
Born in a willow breeze
Loyal friend my guardian angel in the sky
You've served me well all these years
Greeting with both hands trusting with no fears
Till the end
Toikuino anatani miselalete
Amalinimo utsukushii yumenoyo
Itsumademo ii
Aino hikali kiboto yume
When everything is golden and everything is oh
Fuji no yuki, Kyoto no ame, Tokyo no yolu
And everything is ah
Fire and beauty
My only living treasure on this earth
Aaaah
(kibo hikali yume)
Asaga hohoemikakelu
Itsumo kimi dakewa kokolonotomo
Toikimino omokage shinonde
Amalinimo utsukushii yumenoyo
When everything is golden
And everything and everyone is ah
Yoake, kisetsu, yume, kibo
Yoake, kisetsu, yume
Hikali, kisetsu, yume, kibo
Hikali, kisetsu, yume, kibo
Hikali, kisetsu, yume, kibo

最高すぎた ヨナ抜き音階が心に染みる
日本人でよかった。伝統的な音階や楽器が用いられているのにも感動。

I am currently reading Peter Freestone's book and he talks a lot about how Freddie and Montserrat met and started collaborating to make this album. They had so much admiration and respect for one another. I think Montserrat came into Freddie's life at the perfect time to help him realize and draw out that next level of his song writing genius and astounding vocal ability. It was already inside of him but he hadn't fully explored it until they met. He admired her so much and wanted to make her proud and it allowed him to tap into the next level of his brilliance as a musician. I am so happy Freddie had the opportunity to work with Montserrat before he died. Now they are together again, no doubt serenading the angels with their exquisite voices.
@bartholomew9999
Freddie had established himself as one of the best composers of all-time MANY years before he met Montserrat. Just saying.
@angiehoole1
They utterly ADORED each other! There are many interviews where they speak about or to each other. Complete adoration...

There was no limit to Freddie Mercury's talent. I keep stumbling across more and more songs he sang. What a lose his death was.
@braxious
This song really shows how brilliant Freddie Mercury was. Not only did he write a mini opera but he also wrote and sung it in Japanese TOTAL GENIUS
