加州旅馆

老鹰乐队

专辑封面

《Hotel California》老鹰乐队的之作,漫长的前奏就让人沉醉,但是如果你看懂了歌词,你就会发现,好颠覆的感觉,就是昆丁《杀出个黎明》的节奏。

Hotel California 加利福尼亚旅馆

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair 行使在沙漠公路上,夜风吹拂起我的头发,

Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air 飞叶子后的甜香,萦绕在我身旁,

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light 抬头眺望,远方有微光,

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim 头昏沉,眼迷离

I had to stop for the night 让我不得不,寻找过夜的地方。

There she stood in the doorway; 一个妹子倚在门旁,

I heard the mission bell 我仿佛听见了教堂的钟声鸣响,

And I was thinking to myself, 我琢磨着,

“This could be Heaven or this could be Hell” 这个地方,也许是地狱,也许是天堂,

Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way 妹子举着蜡烛给我引路,

There were voices down the corridor, 走廊里传来纷乱的人声,

I thought I heard them say… 我想他们应该是在说:

“Welcome to the Hotel California “欢迎来到加利福尼亚旅馆,

Such a lovely place, Such a lovely face 这里,地儿美,人儿浪,

Plenty of rooms at the Hotel California 房间也多,

Any time of year, you can find it here ” 啥时候来都有地方!”

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, 妹子珠光宝气,

she got the Mercedes benz 妹子奔驰奥迪,

She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, 妹子撩着小鲜肉,

that she calls friends 妹子呼朋唤友,

How they dance in the courtyard, 他们在院子里热舞,

sweet summer sweat. 香汗淋漓,

Some dance to remember, 有人是为了怀念,

some dance to forget 有人是为了忘记。

So I called up the Captain, 所以我对着领班喊叫:

“Please bring me my wine” “请给我上点儿来劲的酒,伙计!”

He said, 他却说,

‘We haven’t had that spirit here since 1969’ “我们从69年就不卖了,亲。”

And still those voices are calling from far away, 远处的声音飘渺而来,

Wake you up in the middle of the night 惊醒了沉醉在深夜中的我,

Just to hear them say… 他们还是在说:

“Welcome to the Hotel California “欢迎来到加利福尼亚旅馆,

Such a lovely place, Such a lovely face 这里,地儿美,人儿浪,

They living it up at the Hotel California 你可以在这里纸醉金迷,

What a nice surprise, bring your alibis” 堕落放纵,连连惊喜“

Mirrors on the ceiling, 望着镶在天花板上的镜子,

The pink champagne on ice 还有桌上加冰的粉色香槟,

And she said 领路的妹子在呢喃:

‘We are all just prisoners here, of our own device’ ”我们都是欲望的囚徒。“

And in the master’s chambers, 眼前旅馆的主大厅里,

They gathered for the feast 欲望的盛宴正在聚集,

They stab it with their steely knives, 挥舞的利刃寒光凌厉,

But they just can’t kill the beast 却斩不去心中如野兽般的执意。

Last thing I remember, 迷失前我记起,

I was running for the door 我往着大门逃去,

I had to find the passage back to the place I was before 我必须找到来路,出去,出去!

‘Relax,’ said the night-man, ”别在意“守夜人在低语:

”We are programmed to receive. “诱惑只是例行公事,

You can checkout any time you like, 你随时可以埋单离去,

but you can never leave!” 但你的心却无法逃离。”
