"Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen, performed in sign language by Stephen Torrence. Gloss/lyrics below and captions by yours truly. Thanks to all who voted and chose this song from among hundreds of requests!

Note: I guessed the name signs for Galileo and Figaro based on the qualities "telescope" and "happy," respectively.

Is this the real life?

[LOOK-AROUND] THIS LIFE REAL?

Is this just fantasy?

DREAM? WHICH?

Caught in a landslide

HERE STUCK,

No escape from reality

WHY? HAPPEN+++ OVERWHELM

Open your eyes

EYES-OPEN

Look up to the skies and see

LOOK [UPWARD], UNDERSTAND

I'm just a poor boy (Poor boy)

ME? POOR

I need no sympathy

PITY [PUSH-AWAY]

Because I'm easy come, easy go

HAPPEN++ WHATEVER

Little high, little low

SOMETIMES HAPPY, SOMETIMES SAD

Any way the wind blows

HAPPEN WHATEVER

Doesn't really matter to me, to me

DON'T-MATTER FOR-ME

Mama just killed a man

MOTHER, MAN KILL-HIM

Put a gun against his head

[CL-L: GUN-AGAINST-MAN-HEAD]

Pulled my trigger, now he's dead

[CL-L: FIRE, MAN-DIE]

Mama, life has just begun

MOTHER, MY LIFE BEGIN

But now I've gone and thrown it all away

BUT MY LIFE RUIN

Mama, ooh

MOTHER, [CL:O]

Didn't mean to make you cry

YOU CRY, I FAIL, SORRY

If I'm not back again this time tomorrow

IF TOMORROW I NOT RETURN

Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters

YOU CONTINUE++. PRETEND NOT-MATTER

Too late, my time has come

LATE, MY DEATH APPROACH

Sends shivers down my spine

FEAR [SHIVERING]

Body's aching all the time

PAIN [ALL-OVER]

Goodbye, everybody

GOODBYE

I've got to go

NOW I MUST LEAVE

Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth

MUST LEAVE, TRUTH ACCEPT

Mama, oooooooh (Anyway the wind blows)

MOTHER

I don't want to die

DIE, I NOT-WANT

Sometimes wish I'd never been born at all

SOMETIMES I WISH PAST I NOT BORN

[Guitar Solo]

I see a little silhouetto of a man

I SEE-MYSELF, I BECOME WEAK

Scaramouch, Scaramouch, will you do the Fandango

WEAK-MAN, YOU DANCE FOR-US?

Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me

THUNDER, LIGHTNING, I AFRAID

(Galileo) Galileo (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro

[G-TELESCOPE+++++], [F-HAPPY]

Magnifico-o-o-o-o

AWESOME

I'm just a poor boy nobody loves me

I POOR, LOVE-ME? NONE

He's just a poor boy from a poor family

HE BOY, POOR, FROM FAMILY, POOR

Spare him his life from this monstrosity

PLEASE, HIS LIFE PRESERVE

Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?

HAPPEN++ WHATEVER, YOU ALLOW LEAVE?

Bismillah! No, we will not let you go

GOD NO, LEAVE FORBID

Let him go

ALLOW LEAVE

Bismillah! We will not let you go

GOD NO, LEAVE FORBID

Let him go

ALLOW

Bismillah! We will not let you go

GOD NO, FORBID

Let me go (Will not let you go)

ALLOW, FORBID

Let me go (Will not let you go) (Never, never, never, never)

ALLOW LEAVE, LEAVE FORBID

Let me go, o, o, o, o

ALLOW LEAVE

No, no, no, no, no, no, no

NO+++++++

(Oh mama mia, mama mia) Mama Mia, let me go

[BEGGIN] ALLOW LEAVE

Beelzebub has the devil put aside for me, for me, for me!

DEVIL HE WAIT FOR ME+++

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye

YOU ABUSE-ME YOU THINK CAN?

So you think you can love me and leave me to die

YOU LOVE-ME, FINISH, DON'T-CARE YOU?

Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby

SWEETHEART, BEG, HURT-ME++ NO

Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here

MUST ESCAPE, MUST RUN-AWAY

[Guitar Solo]

(Oooh yeah, Oooh yeah)

[Noodling] YES, YES

Nothing really matters

HAPPEN++ NOT-MATTER

Anyone can see

ALL UNDERSTAND

Nothing really matters

HAPPEN++ NOT-MATTER

Nothing really matters to me

HAPPEN++ NOT-MATTER FOR-ME

Or any followers using other countries sign language?*I'm more curious of how his interpretation is received. Very interested in your thoughts..#FNS #fridaynightsessions #ASL #queen #bohemianrhapsody *Sean*

I am neither an american native speaker nor do I speak ASL, but I have to say I am incredibly impressed how much passion one can put into a a song without actually singing it. The way you move your hands, your body, your face expression is so accurate, persuasive and touching. Good job! I love watching it:)
