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, ’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 The 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
天生记不住外国名,无论人名,歌名,还是电影名。好多歌听过好多遍,忽然被问起TITLE,答:不知道。女儿笑话我N次,最后说:MOM IS HOPELESS。 熟悉的旋律,熟悉的吉它,可刚刚才知道那就是“加州旅馆”。Aha!!不能告诉我女儿我又露了一回怯! ......... Such a lovely place Such a lovely face ..........
On a dark desert highway 行驶在黑夜的沙漠高速公路上 cool wind in my hair 冷冷的风在我头发里纠缠 warm smell of Colitas 克里塔斯那温暖的气息啊 Rising up through the air 在周围的空气里飘荡
Up ahead in the distance 我向着前方的不远处眺望 I saw a shinmmering light 看见了那儿有一点微光 My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim 疲倦开始让我看不清前面的方向 I had to stop for the night! 我只好停下来度过这个夜晚
There she stood in the doorway 她就站在那儿的门畔 I heard the mission bell 还有教会的钟声在敲响 I was thinking to myself 我默默的暗自思量 "this could be heaven or this could be hell!" “ 也许这是地狱,也许这是天堂!”
Then she lit up a candle 她把一支蜡烛点燃 And she showed me the way 为我把前面的路照亮 There were voices down the corridor 我听见一些声音在走廊的深处回荡 I thought I heard them say: 它们似乎在对我说

Her mind is tiffany-twisted 她的心灵就像柔柔的丝一样 She´s got the bright red Benz 那有一张鲜红的奔驰车在她的身旁 She´s got a lot of pretty¸pretty boys 还有许多许多漂亮的男孩子 She calls friends 那些都是她的伙伴
How they danced in the courtyard 她们在院子里跳舞跳得那么疯狂 Sweet summer sweat 那夏日甜蜜的汗珠在他们的身上流淌 Some danced to remember 有些人在舞蹈里回顾以往 Some danced to forget! 有些人在舞蹈里学习遗忘

Mirror on the ceiling 镜子镶嵌在高高的天花板上 Pink champagne on ice 粉红色的香槟酒在冰块间摇晃 And she said¸"We´re all just prisoners here 她对我说:“在这里我们都是自己的主宰 Of our own devices" 都在左右着自己的主张。”
