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 Such a lovely face Plenty of rooms at the Hotel California [13] 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 place Such a lovely face They living it up at the Hotel California What nice surprise What nice surprise Bring your alibis Mirrors on the ceiling Pink champagne on ice She said We are all just prisoners here Of our own device In the master's chambers They gathered for the feast They stabbed 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 check out any time you like But you can never leave 行驶在昏黑的沙漠公路上,凉风吹起我的头发 浓烈的大麻味道弥散在空气中 抬头遥望远方,我看到灯光闪烁 我的头越来越沉,视线也变得模糊 我不得不停下来寻找过夜的地方 她站在门口招呼我 我听到远处教堂的钟声 我在心里对自己说 这里可能是天堂也可能是地狱 这时她点起一根蜡烛,然后给我引路 沿着走廊传来阵阵说话声 我想我听到他们在说 欢迎来到加州旅馆 多么美丽的地方 多么美丽的脸庞 多么可爱的脸庞 加州旅馆有如此多的房间 无论何时你都可以在这找到地方 她的心为珠宝所扭曲 她开着一辆梅塞德斯奔驰 还带着许多漂亮迷人的小伙子 她都唤他们叫朋友 他们在庭院里翩翩起舞 夏日的香汗淋漓 有些成为回忆 有些则被忘却 于是我叫来领班 请给我来点酒 他说 自从1969年 我们再无供应 远处仍然传来他们的话语 在半夜把你吵醒 只听到他们在说 欢迎来到加州旅馆 多么美丽的地方 多么美丽的地方 多么可爱的脸庞 在加州旅馆他们纵情狂欢 这里好得令人吃惊 这里好得令人吃惊 为你带来堕落的借口 天花板上镶嵌着镜子 冰镇着的粉色香槟 她却说 我们都是这里的囚犯 为自己的欲望负债 在主厅大房间内 人们举起狂欢之火 他们用钢刀挥刺着 却杀不死心中恶魔 我所记得的最后一件事 是我拼命跑向门口 我必须找到来时的路 回到我过去的地方 放松点吧,看门人说 我们天生就受诱惑 你可以随时结束 但你永远无法挣脱
