Teo torriatte

Another Queen song. Because why not. Also it's in Japanese, so it also counts as non English Gallifreyan :)

Today - March 25th, 1977 - Queen Story!

'Teo Torriatte' bw 'Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy' released in Japan

Taken from album 'A Day At The Races', 1976

- 'Teo Torriatte' (Let us Cling Together)'

Written by Brian May

🔸“Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together)”, which features a chorus sung in Japanese. The band offered the song for inclusion on the charity album Songs for Japan, a compilation of recordings by international artists put together to support people affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake in March 2011.

👉 The song was originally included on the band’s fifth album, A Day at the Races, released in 1976. It was apparently Mercury himself who had the idea of including Japanese lyrics on the track. When the band came back to Japan for another tour, Tōgō says, “Freddie wrote down the lyrics by hand and asked the woman who was working as their interpreter to translate them into Japanese.”

- 'Good Old Fashioned Lover Boy'

Written by Freddie Mercury

🔸Freddie Mercury: "It’s called 'Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy', and it’s in my ‘ragtime’ mood that I get a chance to, (laughs) to do on every album and this time, this is something I’ve come up with this time around"

Kenny Everett: "Right, a little frilly number from the pen of Fred."

I am deeply saddened that there are people who will never hear the masterpiece that is Teo Torriatte
