Freddie Mercury and Montsterrat Caballe - La Japonaise - Barcelona - LYRICS (1988) HQ

Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballe
ALBUM: Barcelona
TRACK 02
LYRICS:
Subalashii asaga akeru {A wonderful morning opens}
Yoake ga yobikakeru {The dawn calls me}
Kokoro no izumi ga wakideru {A pond pours into my heart (literally: the pond of the heart spouts)
Yume no yo {Like a dream}
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 kibou {Dawn, Seasons, Dreams, Hope}
Umi to hikari ga yonde iru {The sea and the light call me}
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
Tooi kuni no anata ni miserarete {Charmed by your exotic presence (literally: by you who comes from a distant land)}
Amari ni mo utsukushii yume no you {It's like a too-wonderful dream}
Itsu made mo ii {That could last forever (lit. Whatever it lasts)}
Ai no hikari kibou to yume {The light of love, the hope and the dreams}
When everything is golden and everything is oh
Fuji no yuki, Kyoto no ame, Toukyou no yoru {The snow of Mt. Fuji, the rain of Kyoto, the night of Tokyo}
And everything is ah
Fire and beauty
My only living treasure on this earth
(Kibou hikari yume) {Hope, Light, Dreams}
Asa ga hohoemi kakeru {The morning casts a smile}
Itsumo kimi dake wa kokoro no tomo {You'll always be my only true companion (lit. friend from heart)}
Tooi kimi no omokage shinonde {Yearning for your distant image (lit. Yearning for the semblance of you who are distant)}
Amari ni mo utsukushii yume no you {Like a too-wonderful dream}
When everything is golden
And everything and everyone is ah
Yoake, kisetsu, yume, kibou {Dawn, Seasons, Dreams, Hope}

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...

Podem se passar os anos e eu vou continuar apreciando a música deles..!! Montserrat é minha soprano favorita 😍😍

[@vickistearns7849]

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

[@Manny29]

chris rowley yeah it's quite amazing when I first heard this i cried so amazingly impressive

[@maximde1]

absolutely agree!!!!!!!

[@alexandrapedersen829]

I'm sure Mercury was an accomplished mucisian, but this is not a "mini-opera" as you put it. An opera is per definition a play.

[@georgemamulashvili7894]

[@ste118]

Don't forget Teo Torriatte

[@kkpqueen]

As a one of Japanese Freddie fans, I am very proud of this song and got so imressed. I still love you Freddie!

[@nate1829]

Were you a fan before his passing?

[@flyingsnow00]

does it matter ?

[@judithhand4987]

I'm an American who is so grateful to all you Japanese fans! I'm sure it was your love and encouragement that led him to write this piece. Thank you!!

As a Freddie Mercury fan who just so happened to also be learning Japanese, I love that I came across this knowledge.

Freddie Mercury singing in Japanese is one of the sexiest things I have ever heard. This song is seriously beautiful and thrilling to listen to.

[@tomasnyvlt6576]

And have you heard song Teo Torriate from album A day at the races? It is also sung by Freddie in japanese. Beautiful.

[@abesapiens]

3:00 I love that part of the song, the voice of Freddie singing in japanese is pure beatiful

Fantastic!!

[@katie1790]

This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard

[@thomasbenoit5826]

There are no words for it .. It's beyond anything I've listened to so far .. How could Freddie be such a genius?.. Fortunately, he found Montserrat Caballé, who was the only one who lived up to his creativity. Their collaboration is pure delight and certainly the most amazing thing done in the world of music.

[@thecodegeek9983]

I think Pavarotti also could have collaborated well with Queen or Freddie

[@mariegrimes8085]

This magnificent song is not only amazingly beautiful but also a testament of Freddie's love for Japan and the Japanese fans. He really was a one of a kind artist - so much more than many people realized. Freddie's vocals are superb (from tenor to falsetto) and Montserrat is glorious especially with that sustained vocal at 3:50. I am in awe!!!

[@kirapaleshadowofnight]

Freddie is one of a kind of humans they are unique! his charisma was&is unbelievable! he is one of the great immortals💗!

[@Lv-nq9qz]

@@kirapaleshadowofnight I love how at a certain point he's actually singing at a higher register than Montserrat.

[@rosemadder7324]

His japanese is really nice!! フレディ大好き！

[@ManpreetKaur-md4nt]

I think it is the most nd most underrated opera song of freddie.Today's artist can not be near about freddie who can sing rock as well as opera in this way.He was nd always be immortal who has pure respect for music.

[@RSirley0115]

Esse foi o duete que não vai ser esquecido por séculos. Dois gênios da música..!! Até hoje eu me pergunto: Quem teve a honra de cantar com quem..? Freddie com Montserrat ou Montserrat com Freddie..? RIP Monste ❤️ e Freddie ❤️… Gratidão por terem existido entre nós..!! 🙏🏻

Crazy to think Mercury wrote this at the same time he was writing songs for 'A Kind Of Magic' album.

[@mariegrimes8085]

Oh my goodness, their voices are so exquisite!! It would be phenomenal with only piano but it is elevated to a brilliant masterpiece with the accompanying instrumentation. Wow!!

[@bobaroo11]

It's so weird to hear Freddie speak a different language, but he sounds so good! RIP you two, two amazing legends

[@user-le2zp1si8b]

I’m proud of my country. Thank you Freddie.

[@aresol5774]

Beautiful Japanese language that Japanese people today could never come up with. It is literature and art. How could he write lyrics in such beautiful Japanese? I am so glad that Freddy really respects and adores multiculturalism. I know many foreigners pay lip service to the Japanese, but Freddie's seriousness comes through. 今の日本人には思いつかないような美しい日本語。それは文学であり、芸術である。どうしてこんな美しい日本語で歌詞を書けるのだろう。 フレディが本当に多文化共生を尊重し、慕ってくれていることがとても嬉しい。多くの外国人が日本人に対してリップサービスをしていると思いますが、フレディの本気度は伝わってきます
