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 bends
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,
\'lease 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!
〉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
〉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
head grew heavy 是疲累的状态,同时也是吸食大麻会出现的一个现象。
前面的远处
我见到一丝灯光
我的头混沉视线迷糊
我得过夜在这地方

〉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……
spirit,是指高酒精度的烈酒。
我叫过来领班
“给我来点好酒。”
他说,我们再无供应自从一九六九。
遥远处依然传来那些声响
在深夜将你唤醒
听见他们在讲
〉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
〉欢迎来加州旅馆
〉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

“镜子在天花顶,粉红香槟浸在冰块上,”这是好莱坞中糜烂与色情的代表镜头。

(“We were all middle-class kids from the Midwest,”Henley said of the Eagles. \'Hotel California\' was our interpretation of the high life in Los Angeles. It was meant
to be a metaphor for the United States, for the excesses this country has always been known for. It wasn\'t meant to be just about California or Beverly Hills.”)
