Hotel California

  

  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 face

  Plenty of room at the Hotel California

  Any time of year, you can find it here

  月黑大漠路迢迢,风高凛冽客思归,

  人倦眼乏昏欲睡,闻香忽见灯火碎,

  但见有女娉婷立,耳畔钟声如乐起,

  天堂地狱两相忘,浑然不似在人间,

  秉烛引路过画廊,人声嘈杂迎客至:

  加州客栈诚待客,虚位以侯游子回,

  

  Her mind is Tiffany- twisted, she got the Mercedes bends

  She 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 nineteen sixty nine'

  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 livin' it up at the Hotel California

  What a nice surprise, bring your alibis

  衣香鬓影佳人意,玉郎终始为君来,

  放歌纵舞前廊院,香汗淋漓未尽欢:

  纵使笙歌能醉月,情未忘我怎忘情?

  便向校官索美酒,经年未备意阑珊,

  午夜梦回旧馆舍,声声呼唤充耳闻,

  倦鸟羁留深林久,此间乐哉不思飞,

  

  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

  The 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 night man,

  We are programmed to receive.

  You can checkout any time you like,

  but you can never leave

  宝镜倒映烛影晃,寒冰装点酒色红,

  宾客齐至成盛筵,佳人美酒俱添光,

  轻启朱唇惊四座,投杯停箸不能食:

  钢刀银叉手中持,心魔犹在不能消,

  自我羁押成囚徒,吾辈颓然尚不知。

  闻言惊觉寻旧路,四顾茫茫无着处,

  明朝更向何处去?更者悠然言少歇:

  纵然我辈长别离,此生有命不能弃,

  前路漫漫归旧旅,生此回环无尽时。

問爾所之,是否如適 Are you going to Scarborough Fair

    蕙蘭芫荽,郁郁香芷 Parsely sage rosemary and thyme

    彼方淑女,憑君寄辭 Remember me to one who lives there

    伊人曾在,與我相知 She once was a true love of mine

    

    囑彼佳人,備我衣緇 Tell her to make me a cambric shirt

    蕙蘭芫荽,郁郁香芷 Parsely sage rosemary and thyme

    勿用針剪,無隙無疵 Without no seams nor needle work

    伊人何在,慰我相思 Then she will be a true love of mine

    

    伴唱:

    彼山之陰,深林荒址 On the side of hill in the deep forest green

    冬尋氈毯,老雀燕子 Tracing of sparrow on snow crested brown

    雪覆四野,高山遲滯 Blankets and bed clothers the child of maintain

    眠而不覺,寒笳清嘶 Sleeps unaware of the clarion call

    

    囑彼佳人,營我家室 Tell her to find me an acre of land

    蕙蘭芫荽,郁郁香芷 Parsely sage rosemary and thyme

    良田所修,大海之坻 Between the salt water and the sea strand

    伊人應在,任我相視 Then she will be a true love of mine

    

    伴唱:

    彼山之陰,葉疏苔蝕 On the side of hill a sprinkling of leaves

    滌彼孤塚,珠淚漸漬 Washes the grave with slivery tears

    昔我長劍,日日拂拭 A soldier cleans and polishes a gun

    寂而不覺,寒笳長嘶 Sleeps unaware of the clarion call

    

    囑彼佳人,收我秋實 Tell her to reap it with a sickle of leather

    蕙蘭芫荽,郁郁香芷 Parsely sage rosemary and thyme

    斂之集之,勿棄勿失 And gather it all in a bunch of heather

    伊人猶在,唯我相誓 Then she will be a ture love of mine

    

    伴唱:

    烽火印嘯,浴血之師 War bellows blazing in scarlet battalions

    將帥有令,勤王之事 Generals order their soldiers to kill and to fight

  for a cause

    爭斗緣何,久忘其旨 They have long ago forgoten

    痴而不覺,寒笳悲嘶 Sleeps unaware of the clarion call
