Hotel California：加州旅馆 Eagles

（单词翻译）

Hotel California
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 shimmering¹ light
My head grew heavy, and my sight grew dim: I had to stop for the night

There she stood in the doorway² when 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
There's 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's 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 1969"
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 live it up at the Hotel California. What a nice surprise, bring your alibis³

Mirrors on the ceiling, the pink champagne⁴ on ice
And she said "We are all just prisoners here of our own device"
And in the master's chambers⁵, 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 nightman, We are programed to receive.
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave
