"Stairway to Heaven" é uma canção da banda
britânica de rock Led Zeppelin,
composta pelo guitarrista Jimmy Page e pelo
vocalista Robert Plant para
o quarto álbum de estúdio da banda, Led Zeppelin IV, de 1971. Muitas vezes, é considerada
uma das maiores canções de rock de todos os tempos.
A música percorre uma duração de oito minutos e dois
segundos, e é composta por várias seções que, aumentam o volume e o ritmo da
canção. A música começa com um dedilhado de violão baseado na música popular, e
é acompanhado por flautas antes da introdução da instrumentação elétrica. A
seção final é uma elevada secção de ritmo hard rock realçada por um solo de
guitarra intrincada por Page.
There's
a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold
And
she's buying the stairway to heaven
And
when she gets there she knows
If
the stores are all closed
With
a word she can get what she came for
Oh,
and she's buying the stairway to heaven
There's
a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure
'Cause
you know sometimes
Words
have two meanings
In
the tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings
Sometimes
all of our thoughts are misgiving
Oh,
it makes me wonder
Oh,
it makes me wonder
There's a feeling I get when I look to
the west
And
my spirit is crying for leaving
In
my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke
Through
the trees
And
the voices of those who stand looking
Oh,
it makes me wonder
Oh,
and it makes me wonder
And
it's whispered that soon
If
we all called the tune
Then
the piper will lead us to reason
And
a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And
the forest will echo with laughter
Woe,
oh
If
there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Don't
be alarmed now
It's
just a spring clean for the May Queen
Yes
there are two paths you can go by
But
in the long run
There's
still time to change the road you're on
And
it makes me wonder
Oh
Your
head is humming and it won't go
In
case you don't know
The
piper's calling you to join him
Dear
lady can you hear the wind blow and did you know
Your
stairway lies on the whispering wind
And
as we wind on down the road
Our
shadows taller than our souls
There
walks a lady we all know
Who
shines white light and wants to show
How
everything still turns to gold
And
if you listen very hard
The
tune will come to you at last
When
all are one and one is all, yeah
To
be a rock and not to roll
Oh
And
she's buying the stairway to heaven
