The story of one song by Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven

Song by British rock band Led Zeppelin (1971), released on the album Led Zeppelin IV. The composition was also featured on The Song Remains the Same live album. The songwriters are the band's guitarist Jimmy Page and vocalist Robert Plant. This song became one of the most famous compositions of Led Zeppelin and rock music in general, but ... suddenly people appeared on the horizon who began to accuse the authors and the group of plagiarism, and this is 43 years old. This is how it happens in the world of music.

It is interesting that the song written and performed back in 1971 by the group Led Zeppelin - Stairway To Heaven still haunts some envious people of their work. According to Law360, Randy "California" Wolfe's heirs have filed a motion with the US Supreme Court to overturn the San Francisco 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling of March 2020 in support of a 2016 judgment that found the classic LED ZEPPELIN theme "Stairway To Heaven "is not a plagiarism of" Taurus "SPIRIT.

Although the court has already re-acquitted Led Zeppelin for plagiarism in the song "Stairway to Heaven". In one year alone, more than 8,000 applications and petitions were submitted. And the trial in the case of plagiarism in the song "Stairway to Heaven" has been going on since 2014. Looking at all this - it seems that this never-ending business will never end? Some authors are no longer alive, but the court case continues. Now the plaintiffs in court are the heirs of Randy Wolfe (guitarist of the Spirit group). The defendants are Led Zeppelin members Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones.

Time, of course. will show - who is right and who is wrong? Already half a century has passed, and the claims suddenly begin to present?

So, further about the song itself...

I am writing the translation of the lyrics with my own verse additions ...

Stairway to heaven

There is a girl who is sure
But life has not been tested.
All that glitters is gold.
The glass of fate is shattered
And she buys a stairway to heaven
Not realizing how ridiculous it is.
And when she gets there she knows
That only dreams
If all shops are closed
The possibilities are definitely blurred
One word is enough to get
And repeat the question:
Why did you come
If you betrayed?

Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh ...
And she buys a stairway to heaven
Until Phoebus!

Sign on the wall
This is reality - not in a dream
But she wants to be sure
If life is entrusted
After all, our words
Stay in the passage
Often ambiguous
We don't speak meaningfully
And in a tree by the stream a songbird sings about
Her desire in gold
That all thoughts are sheer delusion
Where there is no inspiration!

Oh-oh-oh, it surprises me
And partly already annoying!

Feelings shook me
And her, and, in general, you.
When I look to the West
I understand that I have to skedaddle.
And my soul cries and wants to leave,
At least at dawn, at least at night,
In my thoughts I saw ...
As an angel kidnapped a virgin,
Puffs of smoke through the trees
And burnt feathers
I heard the exclamations of those who were standing and looking,
And in their cry of the dying!

Oh-oh-oh, it surprises me
And partly already amusing
Oh-hoh ...

And whispers that
Nobody will come.
If we knew which melody
Like a parody ...
The trumpeter will lead us to the meaning
And I will count it fortunately,
And a new day will begin
It never ends
For those who wait for it,
Then here comes the song,
And the forest will respond with laughter
With that happy echo
Ltd…

If a turmoil starts in your garden
Realizing that this is bad ...
Do not be afraid,
And don't swear
It's just spring cleaning
As our life is a reservation,
May Queen
Beautiful tunes
Yes, we are given two roads
We wander through them alone,
But on a long journey
We will not find happiness
There's always time to change your path
From the very initial threshold!

It surprises me
And even already amusing
Ltd

Your head is buzzing and it won't go away
Or maybe even kill
If you don't know
When you first meet the sun's ray
And the trumpet player calls you to join
To enjoy the song of love
Darling, can you hear the wind blowing
Life is so gray ...
And do you know
How are dreams deceived?
That your stairs lie
In the beauty that flies
In the whispering wind
In the morning!
Ltd

And when we find ourselves in the future
We will forget everything for good
Our shadows will grow bigger than our souls
But this is already worse ...
There's a girl we all know walking
We all dream about at once,
That shines with white light
Throughout the light
And wants to show -
To her that you can change the world,
Where everything still turns to gold
Although fate is split in this!

And if you listened very carefully
Then it is desirable to understand the meaning,
Then this harmony will finally reach you
Where deception agony disappears!

When everything is one in one and one in all,
We will save the world from deception ...
To be a huge stone and not roll,
Then happiness will last for years!

And she buys a stairway to heaven
Until Phoebus!
