You Are The Only One (music by Freddie Mercury/lyrics by Larissa Girskaya-Freddie Mercury)

My name is Larissa Girskaya. I am a professional musician and the author of the lyrics to "You Are The Only One" with the exception of a few lines that were written and performed earlier by Freddie Mercury.
I’d like to say that I don’t know English at all, and it is still a mystery to me how I wrote that text.
Freddie and I have a long-term friendly mental bond, and we are also very united by our love to Music.
One day I came across an old unreleased recording of a song that I hadn't heard before. And later a ready-made text appeared in my head, the text which I immediately wrote down...
Not long before Freddie came to me in a dream and said: "Take this song and do it! Don't be afraid of critics, you can't avoid it, but exactly it is that kind of advertising that drives the whole world. It's gonna be all right!"
In an interview given to the Japanese magazine "Music Life" in September 1986 Freddie Mercury said that in the future he would be happy to pass on his ideas and experience to other musicians and that he could support other people in their music career.
I am sure that this is exactly the case now because the original idea to release "You Are The Only One" was Freddie's and his help was very much felt throughout the entire process of working on the song.
Who exactly is this song dedicated to? - I don't know. But I think that everyone will find something important in it for themselves, something that Freddie wanted to say…
Many Thanks to:
​Aleksei Artishevski (producer)
Anna Khodakova
Pavel Spiridonov
Yegor Anosov
and.... Freddie Mercury

You Are The Only One
Before I go out
Now I can just tell you one thing: I'm so sorry,
Got my head in the clouds
Think I’m too busy with myself
But you are dear to me!
You are the only one
You are the only one
Through time and our dreams
Honey, our love can be
Please, just promise it to me!
You are the only one
You are the only one
We'll hold our hands
To feel the souls once again
'Cause I would really like to stay.
I'm living alone
And I often say: I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry,
Want to hear your voice
To feel that you are next to me,
But it's all in my dream.
You are the only one
You are the only one
Through time and our dreams
Honey, our love can be
Please, just promise it to me!
You are the only one
You are the only one
We'll hold our hands
To feel the souls once again
'Cause I would really like to stay...
(lyrics by Freddie Mercury & Larissa Girskaya)

Диво дивное. Я думал, что мою коллекцию Queen и Фредди уже ничто не пополнит. Я ошибался. Просто восторг!

[@nataliak.6699]

Неоднократно возвращаюсь к этому исполнению. Нежно, чувственно, проникновенно, душевно. Вы сотворили настоящее чудо, подарив этой песне, существовавшей лишь в зародыше, настоящую жизнь. Определённо Фредди очень понравилась бы эта версия ❤❤❤

[@Larissa_Girskaya]

Благодарю 🎶🙏🎶

[@louisimmermit4096]

I really like Freddies Demo Version. Its crazy that an unfinished song has such feelings.
Normaly I don't like duets, 'cause very often the voices don't compaire. BUT this is a very, very nice and catchy song. I really love it. I thank you for that from the deep of my heart. Freddie would like it. So many wrote this, there could be no higher compliment.
This deserves much more views.

[@Larissa_Girskaya]

Thank you very much for your opinion. And that is very nice comment.😘

Сотни раз слушала демо You are the only one. И каждый раз думала, сколько любви и красоты в этой музыке. В музыке Фредди всегда есть любовь и красота. И ЧУДО.

Yes. The idea was not to make a modern project, but exactly as this song might have sounded during the life of Freddie, if he had decided to release it. Thank you for your feedback. 😘

Hola, Larissa. Desde que escuché esta canción con tu voz (solo escuché la de Freddie y repetidas veces) no dejo de escucharla y te agradecería mucho la traduzcas porque tú prácticamente has escrito lo demás, mi inglés es muy básico pero puedo traducirlo. Soy fans de Freddie Mercury y Queen y te seguiré escuchando tus otros coves, te repito tienes una voz linda y ya me imagino la belleza que puedes escribir.
