Gallileo, Bismillah?

Im not sure how many times this has been asked but i need to ask the question.

I love Bohemian Rhapsody, but some of the lyrics dont make sense to me like:

Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo, Gallileo,
Gallileo Figaro - magnifico

Who/what is Gallileo? Was it like just something that Queen made up or something from another language like Latin or something?

As well as:

Bismillah! No - we will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let him go
Bismillah! We will not let you go - let me go

Who is Bismillah?

Thanks everybody,
Pauley

Bismillah is at the beginning of the Kuran meaning 'in the name of Allah/God'

Galileo on the other hand was an Italian astronomer, philosopher, and physicist who did many a great thing in his life time.

Take a look there.

Figaro..well I'm not sure..I think it's from a musical/play but I'm not sure.

Does it matter what it means??????

Hey chill,

It's not that i needed to know what it meant its just that i was wondering because i would listen and not know wat it meant. I was just wondering if ppls knew.

Figaro is Italian for hairdresser. The figaro is the main character of the opera "Le Nozze di Figaro" (The Marriage of figaro) by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. Figaro is also a character of the Commedia dell'arte.

Sorry, my dearest, but I don't think that Figaro is hairdresser in Italian. At least, not for me.

Yes, I mixed that up, sorry - dear:)

I was right about something.

I read that bismillah was a ceremony in the muslim religion when a boy made his first reading out of the Qu'ran. Everyone would gather around to hear him utter the words from the holy book.

NO we don't do that !!

Bismillah simply means in the name of God
B= In , ism= The name of , Allah= God

It also is translated like this:
In the name of The Father, Son and Holy Spirit. A doctor of linguistics told me that quite some time ago. It was one of the areas he studied. The language any way. :)

I thought Figaro was an Ice Cream :-?

if you understand the whole song but 2 words, please explain us the rest!
