[Intro – Freddie Mercury]
Barcelona, Barcelona, ooh, ooh-ooh
Barcelona, Barcelona, ooh-ooh
Viva!
[Instrumental Break]
[Interlude: Montserrat Caballé & Choral]
Ooooh!
Ooooh-ooooh-ooooh-ooooh
Ooooh!
[Verse 1: Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé]
[Both]
I had this perfect dream
Un sueño me envolvió
This dream was me and you
Tal vez estás aquí
I want all the world to see
Un instinto me guiaba
A miracle sensation
My guide and inspiration
Now my dream is slowly coming true
[Verse 2: Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé]
[Both]
The wind is a gentle breeze
Ooh, él me habló de ti, aah
The bells are ringing out
El canto vuela
They're calling us together
Guiding us forever
Wish my dream would never go away
[Chorus: Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé]
[Both]
(Barcelona) It was the first time that we met
(Barcelona) How can I forget (Ho-oooh-oooh)
The moment that you stepped into the room
You took my breath away (Ho-oooh-oooh)
(Barcelona) La musica vibró
(Barcelona, ooh) Y ella nos unió
And if God willing
We will meet again someday
[Verse 3: Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé]
Let the songs begin
Déjalo nacer
Let the music play, aaah-aaah-aaah!
Make the voices sing
Nace un gran amor
Start the celebration
Ven a mi, and cry, Grita
Come alive, vive
And shake the foundations from the skies (Aaaah-aaaah-aaaah!)
Ah, ah, shaking all our lives (Aaaah!)
Aaaaah!
[Chorus: Freddie Mercury & Montserrat Caballé]
[Both]
(Barcelona) Such a beautiful horizon
(Barcelona) Like a jewel in the sun
Por ti seré gaviota de tu bella mar, aaaah-aaah-aaah-aaah
(Barcelona) Suenan las campanas
(Barcelona, ooh) Abre tus puertas al mundo
(Aaaah)
If God is willing, if God is willing
If God is willing
(Aaaaaaaah)
Friends until the end
Viva, (Aaaaaaaah)
Ooh-ooh-ooh, aaah-aaah-aaah-aaaaaaah!
Barcelona
[Vocalized Outro: Montserrat Caballé]
