Teo Torriatte (Let Us Cling Together) is a romantic rock song written by Brian May and performed by Queen and first published as track B5 on A Day at the Races on 1976-12-10. A shorter version was released as a single in Japan in 1977 with Good Old-Fashioned Lover Boy as the B-side. In 2005, Brian May created a "high definition" remix.
On the album recording, Freddie Mercury sings vocals; Brian May plays electric guitar, harmonium, acoustic piano, Vox electronic piano, and sings backing vocals; Roger Taylor – plays drums, tambourine, percussion, and sings backing vocals; and John Deacon – plays bass guitar. The chorus, which is sung both in English and Japanese, was translated by Chika Kujiraoka.
In the song's lyrics, the singer tells their lover to rest assured knowing they will constantly be thinking of them while they're apart, and to not pay attention to those who doubt their return, for they will eventually be together forever.

Personal
Because the song wasn't included on any greatest hits albums, and rarely saw any airplay in the 1990s, I didn't hear this song until I finally bought a copy of A Day at the Races in the late 1990s. I probably liked the song initially, but, over time, it has become my second favorite on the album.
