Hotel California

編曲: 梁翹柏
在漆黑的沙漠公路上
On a dark desert highway
冷風吹著我的頭髮
cool wind in my hair
克里塔斯花的氣味
Warm smell of colitas,
瀰漫在空中
rising up through the air
在前方的遠處
Up ahead in the distance,
我看到閃爍的燈光
I saw a shimmering light
我的頭開始發沉，我的視線開始模糊
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
我必須駐留過夜
I had to stop for the night
她站在門口
There she stood in the doorway
我聽到了教堂的鐘聲
I heard the mission bell
我暗自思量
And I was thinking to myself,
'這會是天堂還是地獄'
“This could be Heaven or this could be Hell”
接著她給我點起一支蠟燭，給我照路
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
沿著走廊傳來話語聲
There were voices down the corridor
我想我聽到他們在說…
I thought I heard them say…
歡迎光臨加州旅館
Welcome to the Hotel California
多麼美妙的地方，多麼美麗的面容
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
加州旅館有的是充裕的空間
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
一年四季你都可以在這裡找到
Any time of year, you can find it here
她的思想被珠光寶氣扭曲
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted,
她擁有著豪華轎車
she got the Mercedes Benz
她有著很多她稱為朋友的漂亮男孩
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, she calls friends
他們一身夏日的香汗在院子裡翩翩起舞
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
起舞或為回憶
Some dance to remember
起舞或為忘卻
some dance to forget
於是我召來旅館領班
So I called up the Captain,
“請給我來點酒”
'Please bring me my wine'
他說：
He said,
“自1969年後我們再沒有烈性酒了”
'We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine'
遠處依然傳來呼喚的聲音
And still those voices are calling from far away,
將你從午夜的睡夢中喚醒，
Wake you up in the middle of the night
聽到他們說…
Just to hear them say…
歡迎光臨加州旅館
Welcome to the Hotel California
多麼美妙的地方，多麼美麗的面容
Such a lovely place, such a lovely face
他們在加州旅館縱情歡樂
They livin ' it up at the Hotel California
多麼美妙的驚喜，找個藉口來吧
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis
天花板上鑲著鏡子
Mirrors on the ceiling
粉色香濱被冰鎮著
the pink champagne on ice
她說：
And she said,
“我們都只不過是作繭自縛的囚徒”
“We are all just prisoners here, of our own device”
在主人的會客室裡
And in the master's chambers
他們正聚享盛筵
They gathered for the feast
他們鋼刀齊下
They stab it with their steely knives
卻殺不掉那隻野獸
But they just can't kill the beast
我記得的最後一件事是
Last thing I remember,
我奔向大門
I was running for the door
我必須找到通道
I had to find the passage back
回到我原來的地方
to the place I was before
值夜班的人說：“放鬆”
“Relax”, said the night man
“我們只是按規定接待
“We are programmed to receive.
你可以隨時結帳退房
You can check-out any time you like,
但你卻永遠無法離開”
But you can never leave”
