Stairway To Heaven (Live At Towson Center, Towson, MD 3/23/88) - Frank Zappa

There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven When she gets there she knows if the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for And she's buying a 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 a tree by the brook there's a songbird who sings Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven It makes me wonder 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 It makes me wonder It really makes me wonder And it's whispered that soon if we all call the tune Then the piper will lead us to reason And a new day will dawn for those who stand long And the forests will echo with laughter 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 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 soul 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 To be a rock and not to roll And she's buying a stairway to heaven

Estás soñando cosas que no son de este mundo No sabés si son algo bueno o un mal augurio Él pensaba que la luna era el único lugar solitario Pero en los sueños, ¿con quién estamos? ¿De dónde viene ese escenario a recordarte lo que no querés olvidar? A recordar lo que alguna vez pudiste sentir ¿Es un envío divino como en la Grecia Antigua? No, no es el porvenir real Sino... Nuestros deseos, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh Nuestros deseos, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh ¿De dónde viene ese escenario a recordarte lo que no querés olvidar? A recordar lo que alguna vez pudiste sentir ¿Es un envío divino simulando una profecía? No, no es el porvenir real Sino... Nuestros deseos, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh Nuestros deseos, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh Y a veces no son deseos Son simplemente cenizas De algún ansia que quiere volver Te pueden asustar o te pueden estimular Nuestros deseos, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh Nuestros deseos, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh Nuestros deseos, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh Nuestros deseos, oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh, oh oh oh oh
