Freddie Mercury, Montserrat Caballé - The Golden Boy (New Orchestrated Version)

[00:44.26] The boy had a way with words, he sang, he moved with grace [00:48.82] He entertained so naturally, no gesture out of place [00:53.25] His road in life was clearly drawn, he didn't hesistate [00:57.55] He played, they saw, he conquered as the master of, as the master of his fate [01:06.38] The girl had an iron soul no one could recognise [01:12.67] Material ambition that her gentleness disguised [01:18.86] She gave herself to him, certain of his fame [01:25.47] Wanted him for luxury, for limelight and his name [01:34.16] And then he sang to her [01:41.02] I love you for your silence [01:46.91] I love you for your peace [01:53.25] The still and calm releases [01:59.14] That sweep into my soul [02:02.68] That slowly take control [02:08.15] I love you for your passion [02:13.99] I love you for your fire [02:19.92] The violent desire [02:25.99] That burns me in its flame [02:29.83] A love I dare not name [02:34.28] His rise was irresistable – he grew into the part [02:41.05] His explanation simply that he suffered for his art [02:46.73] No base considerations of some glittering reward [02:53.07] The prize was knowing that his work was noticed and adored [03:02.17] I love you for your silence [03:08.15] I love you for your peace [03:14.36] The still and calm releases [03:19.86] That sweep into my soul [03:23.55] That slowly, slowly take control [03:29.36] Told the truth (yes, he told the truth!) [03:34.02] Accepting every honour with a masterly display [03:41.19] Of well-rehearsed reluctance to be singled out this way [03:47.13] He started to believe that he was all they said and more [03:53.05] She forgot, she forgot the reasons she had wanted him before [04:02.34] I love you for your passion [04:08.18] I love you for your fire [04:13.83] The violent desire [04:20.22] Burns me in its flame [04:24.14] A love I, dare not name [04:29.41] The still and calm releases [04:35.28] That sweep into my soul [04:39.87] Slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly, slowly take control [05:07.92] And when at last they fell apart she wished that she could be the hardned heart [05:14.34] Of yesterday, as cynical as he by changing for the better [05:21.32] She had changed things for the worse, the words that made them happy once now echoed [05:29.82] Echoed as a curse [05:33.59]
