Going to California - Led Zeppelin
Spent my days with a woman unkind,
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine.
Made up my mind to make a new start,
Going to california with an aching in my heart.
Someone told me theres a girl out there
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair.
Took my chances on a big jet plane,
Never let them tell you that theyre all the same.
The sea was red and the sky was grey,
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today.
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake
As the children of the sun began to awake.
Seems that the wrath of the gods
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow;
I think I might be sinking.
Throw me a line if I reach it in time
Ill meet you up there where the path
Runs straight and high.
To find a queen without a king;
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings.
La la la la
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn
Tryin to find a woman whos never, never, never been born.
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams,
Telling myself its not as hard, hard, hard as it seems.

Going to California - Led Zeppelin
是比較輕的搖滾,不含重金屬的振撼,民歌色彩濃烈,有點受 Joni Mitchell 的影響。
Going to California 前往加州
- Jimmy Page/ Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin), 1971
Spent my days with a woman unkind, 曾經的日子和一個刻薄的女人一起
Smoked my stuff and drank all my wine. 抽我的菸和喝掉我所有的酒
Made up my mind to make a new start, 打定了主意重頭來過
Going to california with an aching in my heart. 帶著疼痛在內心往加州去
Someone told me there’s a girl out there 有人告訴我那兒有個女的
With love in her eyes and flowers in her hair. 花兒載在她秀髮上和愛藏於她雙目中
Took my chances on a big jet plane, 登上一架大噴射機去闖一闖
Never let them tell you that they’re all the same. 別讓他們告訴你她們都一樣
The sea was red and the sky was grey, 海可以是紅的和天可以是灰的
Wondered how tomorrow could ever follow today. 納悶明天怎能跟著今天
The mountains and the canyons started to tremble and shake 山巒和峽谷開始搖動
As the children of the sun began to awake. 使太陽的子民開始驚醒
(Watch out.) (當心)
Seems that the wrath of the gods 似諸神盛怒
Got a punch on the nose and it started to flow; 鼻子被打了一拳並開始流血
I think I might be sinking. 我想我或會陷於沉淪
Throw me a line if I reach it in time 寫封信給我如果我如期到得了(加州)的話
I’ll meet you up there where the path 我會與你相見於那條
Runs straight and high. 直插雲霄的路上
To find a queen without a king; 去尋覓一位沒有皇帝的皇后
They say she plays guitar and cries and sings. 他們說她奏著結他、喊著和唱著
La la la la 啦啦啦啦
Ride a white mare in the footsteps of dawn 騎著白馬踏在拂曉的足跡上
Tryin to find a woman whos never, never, never been born. 試圖尋覓一個從沒從沒從沒出生過的女的
Standing on a hill in my mountain of dreams, 站在我諸多個夢兒的高崗上
Telling myself it’s not as hard, hard, hard as it seems. 告訴自己那未必是那麼那麼那麼難

前往美國,既為了事業,也夢想與夢中情人各自成名,日後攜手於星光大道。
「I’ll meet you up there where the path 我會與你相見於那條
Runs straight and high. 直插雲霄的路上」
有點是男生不想輸給女生的心情。
外國音樂人要打入美國音樂市場的主流,談何容易,其時他們惶恐之甚可想而知。
「I think I might be sinking. 我想我或會陷於沉淪
Throw me a line if I reach it in time 寫封信給我如果我如期到得了(加州)的話」
先借地震的經歷喻前途未卜,再借述若如期到得了喻是否能如願的順利踏上美國的星光大道。
「To find a queen without a king; 去尋覓一位沒有皇帝的皇后」
好句!皇后指夢中人,既是夢中人,當仰慕和追求者眾,而自己在努力攀升條件時,恐怕已有皇帝在她身旁,她心有所屬了。
「Tryin to find a woman whos never, never, never been born. 試圖尋覓一個從沒從沒從沒出生過的女的」
又一好句!但在現實中,那對象又是否如夢中理想呢?
這首歌詞難得的是出自二十多歲人的手筆!

還有,詞中大致上是每兩句押韻,讀起上來很上口。

Free like the river
Flowing freely through infinity
Free to be sure of
What I am and who I need not be
Free from all worries
Worries prey on oneself\'s troubled mind
Freer than the clock\'s hands
Tickin\' way the times
Freer than the meaning of free that man defines
Life running through me
Till I feel my father God has called
Me having nothin\'
But possessing riches more than all
And I\'m free
To be nowhere
But in every place I need to be
Freer than a sunbeam
Shining through my soul
Free from feelin\' heat or knowing bitter cold
Free from conceiving the beginning
For that\'s the infinite start
I\'m gone - gone but still living
Life goes on without a beating heart
Free like a vision
That the mind of only you can see
Freer than a raindrop
Falling from the sky
Freer than a smile in a baby\'s sleepin\' eyes
I\'m free like a river
Flowin\' freely through infinity
I\'m free to be sure of what
I am and who I need not to be
I\'m much freer - like the meaning of the word free that crazy man defines
Free - free like the vision that
The mind of only you are ever gonna see
Free like the river my life
Goes on and on through infinity
