Hotel California《加州旅馆》老鹰乐队颠峰之作

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 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 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

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

暗夜荒漠中的高速公路上，孤寂与疲倦让人沉沦。加州旅馆的灯火通明、尽情狂欢则囊括了全部欲望与奢华：天花板上的镜子，加冰的粉红色香槟，翩翩起舞的俊男靓女——“我们是自带枷锁的囚徒”，“有些人舞蹈为了回忆，有些人舞蹈为了遗忘”，“你想什么时候结帐都可以，但你永远无法离去”。——迷幻一样的隐喻，就着悸动的双木吉他，就该一个人细细地听——生活中，你也想过逃离吗？你也想过挣扎么？
