歌词
On a dark desert highway,
在漆黑的沙漠公路上，
cool wind in my hair
冷风吹着我的头发。
Warm smell of colitas,
温馨的“柯利塔”气味，
rising up through the air
弥散在空气中。
Up ahead in the distance,
抬头遥望远方，
I saw a shimmering light
我看到灯光闪烁。
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。
There she stood in the doorway;
她站在门口招呼我，
I heard the mission bell
我听到远处教堂的钟声。
And I was thinking to myself,
我在心里对自己说：
"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"
“这里可能是天堂，也可能是地狱”。
Then she lit up a candle
这时她点燃一根蜡烛，
and she showed me the way
然后给我引路。
There were voices down the corridor,
沿着走廊传来阵阵说话声，
I thought I heard them say...
我想我听到他们在说…
"Welcome to the Hotel California

Such a lovely place, Such a lovely face

How they dance in the courtyard,
他们在庭院里翩翩起舞，
sweet summer sweat.

Some dance to remember,

So I called up the Captain,
于是我召来领班，
"Please bring me my wine" He said,
“请给我来点酒”，而他说：
'We haven't had that spirit here since 1969'

And still those voices are calling from far away,
远处仍然传来他们的话语，
Wake you up in the middle of the night
在半夜把你吵醒，
Just to hear them say...
只听见他们在说…
"Welcome to the Hotel California

Mirrors on the ceiling,

The pink champagne on ice, And she said

of our own device'

And in the master's chambers,
