About Lyrics and Mustapha by Queen

The lyrics for Mustapha are defined as the words making up the song released by Queen in 1978. It also includes the verses and words used by the background chorus in the song. Like many hit songs, the lyrics to Mustapha have different meanings to different people. While it is clear in some of the lyrics what the artist is trying to really say, only Queen and those working with them know all of the meanings behind all of the lyrics to their songs.

Some folks are interested in word and phrase etymology. It is easy to understand the lyrics to Mustapha by Queen if you think through it. The word "lyric" itself derives from the Latin word lyricus, with the actual English word lyrics applied to the definition "words set to music" listed in Stainer and Barrett's 1876 Dictionary of Musical Terms. Continuing the chain, the Latin word lyricus derives from the Greek word λυρικός or lyrikós. This somewhat means "poetry accompanied by the lyre" or "words set to music." You can easily see that by looking at the background of the word lyric, that the "lyrics to Mustapha" means the words set to the music of Mustapha, or poetry accompanied by the lyre played by Queen. The singular form "lyric" is still used to mean the complete words to a song. However, the singular form lyric is also commonly used to refer to a specific line (or phrase) within a song's lyrics. Hence, by this analysis of word structure, you could say that the lyric to Mustapha and the lyrics to Mustapha are both one and the same thing. None of this talk about the word Lyrics is really relevant to fans of Queen who came here looking just for the lyrics to Mustapha, but we feel it is still fun to learn what's behind commonly used words and lyrics in songs.
