Calling To You
Robert Plant Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Beyond the river, over the sea,
Oh Somewhere past last farewell That ever will be
It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you-ou
It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you-ou-ou

Out in the blue now, just waiting to feed,
Oh A little breath of selflessness Adrift in all the greed, mmm
It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you-ou
It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you ...

Long before the mountains cry for Adam and Eve, oh
All the world we knew was fire, and still was the seed
Ah, just the seed Oh, you can hear it now,
It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you-ou
It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you-ou-ou

Where you gonna go, when you gonna stop?
Who stole the keys to the gates of the castle of love?
Ooh, yeah, mmm What's goin' down now, what's goin' on, what's goin' down,
Ooh yes Ohh, yes, oh yes, oh Ooh, yeah, ooh yeah

It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you
It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you-ou-ou
Who you gonna call, what you gonna say?
Standin' in the shadows as the world's just fadin' away

It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you-ou
It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you-ou-ou
Who you gonna call, what you gonna stop
Who stole the keys to the gates of the castle of love?

It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you-ou
It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you-ou-ou
Who you gonna call, what you wanna say?
Standin' in the shadows as the world's just fadin' away Oh, just fadin' away




Ooh yeah, ooh yeah, ooh, yeah
Just fadin' away, just fadin' away, just fadin' away Just fadin' away, ooh yeah Aah Oh Jimmy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Robert Plant's "Calling To You" describe a call to adventure, urging the listener to explore unknown territories, both physical and emotional. The lines "Beyond the river, over the sea, Oh Somewhere past last farewell that ever will be" evoke a sense of longing for a place yet undiscovered. The repetition of "It's callin' to you" reinforces the idea that there is something out there that the listener must heed.


The second verse contrasts the idea of selflessness with the greed of the world. The phrase "Adrift in all the greed" suggests that there is a struggle between these two forces, and the call to adventure can offer a path towards selflessness. The third verse references the story of Adam and Eve and the world before their creation, suggesting that there is a primal urge within all of us to explore the unknown. The question "Who stole the keys to the gates of the castle of love?" implies that there are forces working against this urge, and the call to adventure is a way to break free from them.


Overall, the song is an anthem for exploration, urging the listener to break free from the past and embrace the unknown.


Line by Line Meaning

Beyond the river, over the sea, Oh Somewhere past last farewell That ever will be It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you-ou It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you-ou-ou
The call is coming from a distant and unknown place, beyond what we can see and understand. It's a call that will never stop, and it's reaching out to the listener.


Out in the blue now, just waiting to feed, Oh A little breath of selflessness Adrift in all the greed, mmm It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you-ou It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you ...
Amidst all the selfishness and greed in the world, there is still a glimpse of selflessness waiting to be discovered. It's a call to be more empathetic and compassionate towards others.


Long before the mountains cry for Adam and Eve, oh All the world we knew was fire, and still was the seed Ah, just the seed Oh, you can hear it now, It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you-ou It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you-ou-ou
The world was once in a state of chaos and stillness, before humans existed. But even in that chaos, there was the potential for growth and renewal. The call is a reminder of that potential and a beckoning to embrace it.


Where you gonna go, when you gonna stop? Who stole the keys to the gates of the castle of love? Ooh, yeah, mmm What's goin' down now, what's goin' on, what's goin' down, Ooh yes Ohh, yes, oh yes, oh Ooh, yeah, ooh yeah
The questions are rhetorical, asking listeners to reflect on their actions in life and how they have contributed to lost opportunities for love and happiness. It's a call to reassess priorities and take responsibility for a better future.


It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you It's callin' to you, callin' to you, callin' to you-ou-ou Who you gonna call, what you gonna say? Standin' in the shadows as the world's just fadin' away
The call is still reaching out to the listener, urging them to take action and make a change in their life. The lyrics suggest a feeling of helplessness and doubt, but the call persists as a reminder to keep trying.


Just fadin' away, just fadin' away, just fadin' away Just fadin' away, ooh yeah Aah Oh Jimmy
The repetition of 'just fadin' away' suggests a resignation to the gradual decline of the world, but the call remains. The mention of Jimmy at the end is a reference to a friend or loved one who has passed, emphasizing the fleeting nature of life and the importance of answering the call.

"Calling To You"

Beyond the river - over the sea
Somewhere's last last farewell that ever will be
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you

Out in the blue now, just waiting to be
A little breath of selflessness, adrift in all the greed
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you

Look for the match - cover Adam and Eve
All the world when new was fire - it still was the scene
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you

So you're gonna - it's for your honour - it's gonna be done

Where you gonna go? when you gonna stop?
Who stole the keys to the gates of the castle of love?
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you

Who you gonna call? what you gonna say?
Standin' in the shadows as the world's just fadin' away
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you

Who you gonna call? when you gonna stop?
Who stole the keys to the gates of the castle of love?
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you
It's calling to you, calling to you, calling to you

Who you gonna call? what you gonna say?
Standin' in the shadows as the world's just fadin' away
Just fadin' away, just fadin' away --

Normu pipita

Más allá del río, sobre el mar,
Oh, en algún lugar, último adiós que te llamará,
llamándote, llamándote a ti.
Te está llamando, llamándote, llamándote a ti, ou-ou
Ahora en el azul, solo esperando para alimentar,
Un aliento de desinterés A la deriva en toda la codicia
Te está llamando, llamándote, llamándote a ti-ou
Te está llamando, llamándote, llamándote, llamándote ...
Mucho antes de que las montañas lloren por Adán y Eva,
Todo el mundo que sabíamos era fuego, y todavía era la semilla
solo la semilla Oh, puedes escucharlo ahora,
Te está llamando, llamándote, llamándote a ti
Te está llamando, llamándote, llamándote a ti,
¿A dónde vas a ir, cuándo vas a parar?
¿Quién robó las llaves de las puertas del castillo del amor?
Lo que está pasando ahora, lo que está pasando,

ooh sí Ohh, sí, oh sí, oh oh, sí, ooh sí
Te está llamando, llamándote, llamándote
Te está llamando, llamándote, llamándote a ti,
¿A quién vas a llamar, qué vas a decir?
Permanecer en las sombras ya que el mundo se está desvaneciendo
Te está llamando, llamándote, llamándote a ti
Te está llamando, llamándote, llamándote a ti,
A quién llamarás, qué vas a parar
¿Quién robó las llaves de las puertas del castillo del amor?
Te está llamando, llamándote, llamándote a ti
Te está llamando, llamándote, llamándote a ti,
¿A quién vas a llamar, qué quieres decir?
Estar parado en las sombras mientras el mundo se está yendo de un lado a otro Oh
solo desapareciendo
Ooh, sí, ooh sí, ooh, sí
Simplemente alejándome, solo desvaneciéndome, solo dejándome fingir lejos,
ooh si Aah Oh Jimmy!

Михаил Сергопольцев

"ЗОВУ ТЕБЯ "

За рекой, на краю моря,
Где-то последнее прощание, которое вообще возможно.
Это я зову тебя, это я зову тебя, это зову тебя
Это я зову тебя, это я зову тебя, это зову тебя
В синеве теперь, только жду, чтобы стать.
Небольшим дыханием самоотверженности, по течению во всей жадности.

Это я зову тебя, это я зову тебя, это зову тебя
Это я зову тебя, это я зову тебя, это зову тебя

Ищите состязание – там скрываются Адам и Ева
Весь юный мир был в огне – это было местом действия.
Это я зову тебя, это я зову тебя, это зову тебя
Это я зову тебя, это я зову тебя, это зову тебя

Так ты решился? - это для твоей славы - это должно быть сделано
Куда ты отправишься? Когда ты остановишься?
Кто украл ключи к воротам замка любви?

Это я зову тебя, это я зову тебя, это зову тебя
Это я зову тебя, это я зову тебя, это зову тебя

Кого ты позовешь? Что ты скажешь?
Стоишь в тени, пока мир увядает
Это я зову тебя, это я зову тебя, это зову тебя
Это я зову тебя, это я зову тебя, это зову тебя
Кого ты позовешь? Что ты скажешь?
Кто украл ключи к воротам замка любви?
Это я зову тебя, это я зову тебя, это зову тебя
Это я зову тебя, это я зову тебя, это зову тебя

Кого ты позовешь? Что ты скажешь?
Стоишь в тени, пока мир увядает
Мир просто катиться в пропасть, просто катиться к кончине…

Nina louVe

Hi, Robert Plant, please can you tell me were can i get the promo code for the cd and the tee-shirt ? merci déjà. from a girl that discouvered John Bonham and Led Zeppelin at the age of 12 in 1980, here in Québec, Canada. Maintenow, i will not go here in sycophancy. one day soon, i will write a song and send it to your manager. This one will happily be a married testimony of folk blues, perhaps also with Cajun sounds, a little violin, and mandolin, to say to you, how John's death, this sweet ghost haunting the bottle, your music now, before and after Led Zep, with Now & Zen etc .; how strong i got with the drums, to sing how all those sacred moments of music changed the course of my life. the choice of going to sow joy, rather than marrying bitterness and sunless shade, that is to say the death of the soul. thank you already for all that. Now give me the promo code, if you please 😉

Fate of nations is the most beautiful album. until today, this album has been a safe haven in the repertoire of my good hopes. I thank Robert and all those who were involved with this masterpiece. God bless you all.

David Rayborn

Agreed

Peter Karabin

Is it me, or did this album seem to be, well, extensively long. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see him on this tour, (I did see him on Now and Zen and Manic Nirvana, great memories). I remember when it came out, it seemed to be quite extensive, not that I'm complaining!

Steve Hodson

How on earth is this song already 27 years old???? A masterpiece from that Album, though I love them all...this is the best.
