歌词
Hotel California (The Eagles)
On a dark desert highway,cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas,rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes-Benz
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
So I called up the Captain,
'Please bring me my wine'
He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty-nine'
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast
Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
'Relax,' said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
but you can never leave!
下面是我在网络中找到的中文译文：
在黑暗荒凉的高速公路上
冷风吹着我的头发
浓烈的烤烟味道
散发在空气中
抬头向远处眺望
我看到一点微弱的灯火
我的头越来越沉重,视线慢慢变的模糊
我必须停下来过夜了
她站在门口那里
我听到了教堂的钟声
我告诉自己
这里可能是天堂也可能是地狱
然后她点燃蜡烛给我带路
走廊深处传来说话声
我好像听到他们说……
欢迎来加州旅馆
多么可爱的地方
多么可爱的面容
这里有许多的房间
任何时候
你都能找到它
她的心像打结的纱
她拥有梅赛德斯奔驰车
她拥有很多漂亮的男孩
她说是她的朋友们
他们在院子里跳舞
夏日大汗淋漓
有些让人回忆，有些已经忘记
我吩咐领班
请给我一些酒
他却说
我们从1969年以后就没有烈酒了
那些说话声仍然从远处传来
在深夜把你吵醒
模糊地听到他们说……
欢迎来加州旅店
多么可爱的地方
多么可爱的面容
他们在这里享受人生
让人多么惊奇
带给你的堕落的托辞
天花板上镶嵌着镜子
香槟酒在冰中
她说
我们只不过是把自己囚禁在这里
与世隔绝
在主人的卧室
他们正在聚餐
他们用钢刀切着
但他们却杀不掉野兽
我记得最后
我向门口跑去
但是我必须
找到我来时的路
别紧张，守夜的人说
我们只是按照程序接待
你任何时候都可以结帐
但你永远也无法离开
