Hotel California(加州旅館)
The eagles(老鷹樂隊)
老鷹樂隊(Eagles)是崛起在70年代初期具有廣泛影響力的搖滾樂隊
1976年是Eagles最為輝煌的一年，年底推出的第五張專輯《Hotel California》
並被譽為70年代美國最重要的專輯。
在這張專輯裡，"Eagles“以一種極為頹廢曖昧的方式反映了70年代美國世風日下、
混沌與散漫的社會風氣”。這首同名單曲《Hotel California》
更是Eagles的一部完美之作，其詭異莫名的歌詞、感人心絃的旋律，
幾乎把上世紀70年代所有的憂傷與迷惘卷攜殆盡。
《Hotel California》自面世開始，立即就引來很多的質疑與批評。
許多人都不能理解歌詞後段撲朔迷離的場面在昭示什麼。
這部歌曲的內容如同小說一樣，離開了作者後要由聽者來解釋.....
On a dark desert highway.行駛在昏黑的荒漠公路上
Cool wind in my hair.涼風吹過我的頭髮
Warm smell of colitas 溫馨的colitas香
Rising Up through the air 瀰漫在空氣中
Up ahead in the distance.抬頭遙望遠方
I saw a shimmering light 我看到一絲微弱的燈光 。(從這一句開始往下可理解為吸毒後的感覺)
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim 我的頭越來越沉,視線也變得模糊。
I had to stop for the night 我不得不停下來過夜
There she stood in the doorway 她站在門那兒等候我 (這裡的她指的是不是 毒品)
I heard the mission bell 我聽到遠處教堂的鐘聲 。(可理解為警鐘，心底的良知在呼喊。)
And I was thinking to myself 我在心裡對自己說
This could be heaven or this could be hell 這裡也許是天堂也可能是地獄
Then she lit up a candle 她點燃了蠟燭 (點燃大麻)
And she showed me the way 並給我引路 (引向幻境)
There were voices down in corridor 走廊深處傳來陣陣說話聲
I thought I heard them say... ...我想我聽到他們在說……
Such a lovely place 多麼美麗的地方！
Such a lovely face 多麼可愛的面容
There"s plenty of rooms at the Hotel California 加州旅館有充足的房間!
Any time of year 一年的任何時候
you can find it here 你都能在這找到房間
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted 帶著彷彿如紗般纏繞的心思
She got the Mercedes-Benz 她開著一輛梅塞德斯·賓士
She got a lot of pretty,pretty boys 還帶著許多漂亮迷人的小夥子
She calls friends 她都喚他們叫朋友
How they dance in the courtyard 他們在庭院裡翩翩起舞
Sweet summer sweat 甜蜜夏日,香汗伶俐。
Some dance to remember 有人狂舞中喚起回憶！
Some dance to forget 而有人狂舞著是為了忘記！
So I called up the captain 於是我叫來領班。
Please bring me my wine 請給我來些美酒。
He said we haven"t had that spirit here 他說:我們這再不供應烈酒
Since nineteen sixty nine 自從1969年起
And still those voices are calling from far away 遠處依然傳來那些話語
Wake you up in the middle of the night 在半夜將你驚醒 (對這種放縱生活的惶恐)
Just to hear them say... ...只聽到他們在說……
Such a loveely face 多麼可愛的面容！
They livin"it up at the Hotel California 他們在加州旅館盡情狂歡
What a nice surprise 一切都美好得令人吃驚！
Bring your alibis .為你帶來想要的藉口
Mirrors on the ceilling 天花板上的鏡子
The pink champagne on ice 冰上粉紅色的香檳
And she said 這時她說,
We are all just prisoners here "我們其實不過是這裡的囚徒,
Of our own device 甘心被自己所驅使".
And in the master"s chambers 在主人的房間裡
They gathered for the feast 他們聚集在盛宴前
They stab it with their steely knives .揮舞著鋼製的刀 (內心的掙扎)
But they just can"t kill the beast 但卻殺不死心中的惡魔
Last thing I remember, 我所記得的最後一件事就是
I was running for the door 我拼命跑向大門口
I had to find the passage back 我必須找到來時的路
To the place I was before 回到我過去的地方
Relax said the night man “放鬆點",守夜人說到,
We are programmed to receive 我們只是照常接待
You can check out any time you like 你什麼時候結帳都可以
But you can never leave 但你永遠都無法擺脫！
