滬江英樂?歌曲Hotel California 在1977年連續(xù)8周獲得排行榜冠軍的位置,歌曲特殊之處在于Don Felder與Joe Walsh所的雙吉他效果。喜歡它的優(yōu)雅和純凈,喜歡木吉他所彈出如此清澈婉轉(zhuǎn)的音符和鼓手所打出那樣自信坦然的節(jié)奏,喜歡那種很純粹的低吟淺唱,還有那神話般神秘深邃、夢幻般絢麗別致的意境……《Hotel California》有一種令人無法拒絕抵抗的魅力,一旦你靜下心去傾聽、去感受,你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)自己已經(jīng)無意之中成為它的俘虜,沒有辦法逃脫的靈魂,也始終不愿意離去……也許,這就是真正的音樂吧。

歌曲:Hotel California
演唱:The Eagles

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair   
在漆黑荒涼的高速公路上,涼風(fēng)吹散了我的頭發(fā)   
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air   
科里塔斯溫?zé)岬臍庀?,在空中裊裊上升   
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light   
抬頭極目遠(yuǎn)方,看見微微閃爍的燈光   
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim   
我的頭腦變得沉重,我的視線越發(fā)模糊   
I had to stop for the night   
必須停下來了,尋找過夜的地方  
There she stood in the doorway;   
她就站在門廊   
I heard the mission bell   
布道的鐘聲在我耳邊回響   
And I was thinking to myself, "This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"   
我心中暗念,"還不知道這里是地獄還是天堂"   
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way   
這時(shí)她點(diǎn)起一根蠟燭,給我前面引路   
There were voices down the corridor,   
走廊深處一陣陣歌聲回蕩   
I thought I heard them say...   
我想我聽見他們在唱。。。
"Welcome to the Hotel California   
"歡迎來到加州旅館   
Such a lovely place, Such a lovely face   
多么可愛的地方, 多么可愛的臉龐   
Plenty of rooms at the Hotel California   
加州旅館如此多的客房   
Any time of year, you can find it here "   
一年四季無論何時(shí)何候,你都可以在這找到地方" 
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends   
帶著仿佛如紗般纏繞的心思,她開著一輛梅塞德斯·奔馳   
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that she calls friends   
還帶著許多漂亮迷人的小伙子,她都喚他們叫朋友   
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.   
在庭院里他們舞的多歡,揮灑著夏日甜味的香汗   
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget   
有人狂舞中喚起回憶,而有人狂舞著是為了忘記   
So I called up the Captain, "Please bring me my wine"   
于是我把主人召喚,"請給我來點(diǎn)酒"
He said, 'We haven't had that spirit here since 1969'   
他說,"自1969年我們這就再?zèng)]那東西了"   
And still those voices are calling from far away,   
而那些聲音依然遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)傳來,   
Wake you up in the middle of the night   
令人在午夜也會(huì)驚醒   
Just to hear them say...   
只聽得他們在唱。。。  
"Welcome to the Hotel California   
"歡迎來到加州旅館   
Such a lovely place, Such a lovely face   
多么可愛的地方,多么可愛的臉龐   
They livin' it up at the Hotel California   
在加州旅館他們縱情狂歡   
What a nice surprise, bring your alibis"   
多么美妙的驚奇呀,為你帶來想要的借口!"  
Mirrors on the ceiling, The pink champagne on ice   
天花板上的鏡子,冰上粉紅色的香檳   
And she said 'We are all just prisoners here, of our own device'   
這時(shí)她說,"我們其實(shí)不過是這里的囚徒,甘心被自己所驅(qū)使"   
And in the master's chambers, They gathered for the feast   
然后在主人房間里,他們聚集在盛宴前   
They stab it with their steely knives,   
揮舞著鋼制的刀叉   
But they just can't kill the beast   
但卻就是不能刺死野獸  
Last thing I remember, I was running for the door   
我記得我做的最后一件事是跑向大門   
I had to find the passage back to the place I was before   
我必須尋找來時(shí)的路回到從前的地方   
'Relax,' said the night-man," We are programmed to receive.   
"放松點(diǎn),"值夜的說到,"我們安排好了接收,   
You can checkout any time you like,   
你可以在喜歡的時(shí)候結(jié)帳,   
but you can never leave!"   
但你卻永遠(yuǎn)無法離開!"?
