Las Palabras de Amor (The Words of Love) is a song by English rock band Queen. It is the fourth track on the second side of the album Hot Space and it was written by Brian May. The single was released on June 1st, 1982.
The song was inspired by the band's close relationship with their Ibero American fans. It marked the band's fourth appearance on Top of the Pops (the first, second and third being for "Seven Seas of Rhye", "Killer Queen" and "Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy"). For this mimed performance May is seen playing a grand piano though, on the recording, there are only synths (played by May). May also sang lead vocals for the harmonized line "this time and evermore". At one point Mercury is seen miming incorrect words.
During the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert at Wembley Stadium in 1992, this was the third song of the second half, performed by Zucchero and Queen.
This song also made onto 1999 Queen's Greatest Hits III after Made in Heaven song "Heaven for Everyone" and before Brian May's smash hit "Driven by You".
