Kashmir
Page Plant Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face

Stars to fill my dreams

I am a traveler of both time and space

To be where I have been
Sit with elders of a gentle race

This world is seldom seen

Talk of days for which they sit and wait

But, all will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace

Whose sounds caress my ear

Though, by a word I heard could I relate

The story was quite clear

Whoa-hoh, whoa-oh, yeah

Yes, yes

Oooh, oh baby, baby, I been cryin'

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh, there's no denyin', there's no denyin'

Oooh yes, baby baby, I've been flyin', oh yeah

Lord, mama, ain't no denyin', no denyin', no denyin'

Here's another one to ya

All I see turns to brown

As the sun burns the ground

And my eyes fill with sand

As I scan this wasted land

Tryin' to find now, where I been, yeah

Pilot of the storm who leaves no trace

Like thoughts inside a dream

Who heed the path that led me to that place

Yellow desert screen

My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon

I will return again

Sure as the dust that floats high in June

When movin' through Kashmir

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails

Across the sea of years

With no provision but an open face

'Long the straits of fear

Wha-oh, wha-oh, yeah

Whoa-hoh, whoa-hoh, ohh-oh-oh-hooooh

Well, when I want, baby, when I'm on my way, yeah

When I see, baby, when I see the way you stay, yeah

Well I'm down, when I'm near

Please, please, tell me where I've been

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Whooooooo, yeah-ee yeah

Whoo, yeah, I can take you there, take you there

Oh, my baby, ooh my baby, let me take you there, oh-oh

Ooh darlin', yeah, darlin', yeah

Tuadon, tuadid, oh yeah

Suanon, suadid

Suanon, suadid

Suanon, oh-oh-oh

Yeah, yeah

Hey baby, pretty baby, oh baby

Hey baby, pretty baby, oh baby

Hey baby, pretty baby, oh baby

Feel, feel, feel, feel, feel, feel,

Feel, feel, feel, feel, feel, feel

Suanon, suadid

Suanon, suadid

Suanon, yeahhh





Thanks a lot, see ya later

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Page Plant's song "Kashmir" are mysterious and abstract, yet they convey a sense of exploration, adventure, and spiritual enlightenment. The opening lines suggest a desire for self-discovery: "Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face, stars to fill my dreams, I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been." These lines imply that the singer is seeking new experiences and knowledge wherever they may be found.


The second verse is a vivid description of the desert landscape, through which the singer is traveling: "All I see turns to brown, as the sun burns the ground, and my eyes fill with sand, as I scan this wasted land." The contrast between the harshness of the environment and the singer's own inner journey makes for a potent symbol of the human quest for meaning and purpose.


The song's refrain, with its lilting melody and repeated "whoa-hoh" and "yeah" prompts a feeling of wild abandon and freedom, as if the singer is soaring through skies and over seas, propelled by the winds of fate. The final verse invokes the "father of the four winds" and frames the singer's journey as a spiritual one: "With no provision but an open face, 'long the straits of fear, wha-oh, wha-oh, yeah, whoa-hoh, whoa-hoh, ohh-oh-oh-hooooh."


Overall, "Kashmir" is a powerful song about the human desire for adventure, self-discovery, and spiritual transcendence, conveyed through imaginative imagery and poetic language.

I agree classic

@Shekeba79

I didn't think Kashmir could get any better... An Egyptian orchestra, an aged Robert Plant just flowing freely. Best version in my opinion 💜💜

@Camisaverde1942

Ficou do caralho realmente

@ririmimi3622

Absolutely 👏👍😍

@DXBAdam

don't forget JIM PAGE The God of Rock Guitar , and John Bonham's son on the drums

@drummerchappell

@@DXBAdam I don’t think that’s Jason. I’m curious now though.

@jamilamalluf7160

Props must be given to Hossam Ramzy, who arranged the Middle Eastern parts of this performance. He passed away last year, but he’s left quite a legacy of bringing Eastern touches to several Western artists.
