well, Freddy mercury tu nama sebenar Faruk Bulsara. Dia bukan mat salleh, dia keturunan iran, or 'Persian'. He's not a muslim, tapi zoroastrian, whch is a religion that predates Islam. Still, he grew up in a muslim community somewhere in india or africa i dont remember, so he probably picked it up there.
As to the meaning of the song...entah.
In the immortal words of Kurt Cobain "It means, whatever you want it to mean".

good info jeff..

dari wiki

However when the band released a Greatest Hits cassette in Iran a leaflet in farsi was included with translation and explanations of the lyrics. There Queen states that Bohemian Rhapsody is about a young man who has accidentally killed someone and, like Faust, sold his soul to the devil. On the night before his execution he calls for God in Arabic, "Bismillah", and with the help of angels regains his soul from Shaitan

maybe...ni kot maksud dia..ntahlah..

Ada satu lagi lagu Queen yang pelik liriknya....

From Wiki

"Mustapha"

"Mustapha" is a song written by Freddie Mercury and recorded by English rock band Queen. It is the first track of their 1978 album Jazz. "Mustapha" was released as a single in 1979, although it didn't cause much of an impact on the single charts.

The lyrics consist mostly of Arabic-sounding nonsense. The only actual words are "Mustapha", "Ibrahim" and the phrases "Allah, Allah, Allah will pray for you", "salaam aleikum" and "aleikum salaam". The rest is improvised words like "ichna klibhra him" and "rabbla fihmtrashim". The song was never intended to be taken seriously, but many critics misunderstood the song (and the entire album). Fans are split when it comes to Mustapha; some thinks that the song is a great example on Queen's humor and other thinks it is just non-sense.

In live performances, Mercury would often sing the opening vocals of "Mustapha" in place of the complex introduction to "Bohemian Rhapsody", going from "Allah will pray for you" to "Mama, just killed a man...". However, sometimes the band performed an almost full version of the song, with Mercury at the piano. They dropped the second verse and went from the first chorus to the third. Also notable is that the song was oftenly requested by the audience, as can be heard on Live Killers.

Although some fans believe that Mercury could speak more languages because of the lyrics of this song (and others such as "La Japonaise" and parts of "Bohemian Rhapsody"), he only knew English and perhaps Gujarati or Hindi, because of his Indian background and education in India.

ni aku ngah dgr mp3 dia...
meremang part nie..

Mama,just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger,now hes dead,
Mama,life had just begun,
But now Ive gone and thrown it all away-
Mama ooo,
Didnt mean to make you cry-
If Im not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters-

Too late,my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine-
Bodys aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody-Ive got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows)
I dont want to die,
I sometimes wish Id never been born at all

i remember reading once that Brian May made his guitar from a 500 year old piece of wood (some heirloom furniture or something like that) with his dad. Maybe thats why his tone is so unique n recognizable.
