歌词与中文翻译
On a dark desert highway
行驶在昏黑的荒漠公路上
Cool wind in my hair
凉风吹过我的头发
Warm smell of colitas
温馨的大麻香
Rising up through the air
弥漫在空气中
Up ahead in the distance
抬头遥望远方
I saw a shimmering light
我看到微弱的灯光
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
我的头越来越沉 视线也变得模糊
I had to stop for the night
我不得不停下来过夜
她站在门口那儿招呼我
There she stood in the doorway
我听到远处教堂的钟声
I heard the mission bell
我在心里对自己说
And I was thinking to myself
这里可能是天堂 也可能是地狱
“This could be Heaven or this could be Hell”
然后她点燃了蜡烛
Then she lit up a candle
给我引路
And she showed me the way
沿着走廊传来阵阵说话声
There were voices down the corridor
我想我听到他们在说
I thought I heard them say
欢迎来到加州旅馆
“Welcome to the Hotel California”
如此美丽的地方 如此美丽的地方
Such a lovely place such a lovely place
多么可爱的的面容
Such a lovely face such a lovely face
加州旅馆有充足的房间
一年的任何时候
Plenty of rooms at the Hotel California
你都能在这找到房间
Any time of year
她的心为珠宝所扭曲
You can find it here
她拥有豪华奔驰车
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
她有许多漂亮的小伙子
She got the Mercedes Benz
她称之为朋友
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys
他们在庭院里翩翩起舞
That she calls friends
夏日的香汗淋漓
有些舞是为了回忆
How they dance in the courtyard
而有些舞是为了忘却
Sweet summer sweat
于是我叫来领班
Some dance to remember
请给我来些酒
Some dance to forget
他说
So I called up the Captain
我们这供应1969年后的酒
“Please bring me my wine”
远处仍然传来他们的话语
He said,
在半夜把你吵醒
“We haven’t had that spirit here since 1969”
只听到他们在说
欢迎来到加州旅馆
And still those voices are calling from far away
如此美丽的地方
Wake you up in the middle of the night
多么可爱的的面容
Just to hear them say
他们在加州旅馆尽情狂欢
”Welcome to the Hotel California “
好得令人吃惊
Such a lovely place
使你有来到这的借口
Such a lovely face
天花板上镶嵌着的镜子
冰镇着的粉色香槟
They living it up at the Hotel California
她说我们都是这的囚徒
What a nice surprise
但是是我们自愿的
Bring your alibis”
在主人的卧房里
Mirrors on the ceiling
他们为宴会聚在一起
The pink champagne on ice
他们彼此间用钢刀相互砍杀
And she said, “We are all just prisoners here
但他们甚至不能杀死野兽
Of our own device”
我所记得的最后一件事
And in the master’s chambers
是我跑向门口
They gathered for the feast
我必须找到来时的路
They stab it with their steely knives
回到我过去的地方
But they just can’t kill the beast
守夜人说放宽心
我们只是照常接待
Last thing I remember
你想什么时候结帐都可以
I was running for the door
但你永远无法离去
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!”
