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
Will not let you go - let me go (never)

The common translation for bismillah is “In the name of Allah”

Interesting, no?

The composer, Freddy Mercury, was raised in the Zoroastrian religion, an ancient Iranian multi-theistic religion which pre-dated Islam. The word floated downstream into Islam, apparently; but certainly Mercury's life was anything but muslim or even religious. His parents buried him in a Zoroastrian ceremony; so I wouldn't think the word indicated anything from him other than a long-held cultural artifact he remembered from childhood.
