《加州旅馆》的歌词如下:
英文歌词:
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 place."
I had the keys to the kingdom,
But I didn't have the courage to go in.
Something told me, "Don't try,"
"Don't let it be."
I thought I heard a voice saying,
"You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave!"
中文歌词:
在昏暗的沙漠公路上,凉风吹拂着我的头发,
温馨的大麻香,弥漫在空气中。
抬头望向远方,我看见一丝微弱的灯光,
我的头越来越沉,视线也变得模糊。
我不得不停下来过夜。
她站在门口,
我听到远处教堂的钟声,
我心想,
"这里可能是天堂,也可能是地狱。"
然后她点燃了蜡烛,给我指了路,
走廊里传来声音,
我好像听到他们在说,
"欢迎来到加州旅馆,
多么美丽的地方,
多么美丽的地方。"
我有进入王国的钥匙,
但我没有勇气进去。
有东西告诉我,"别尝试,"
"别让它发生。"
我好像听到一个声音在说,
"你可以随时离开,
但你永远无法摆脱!"
