Eagles - Hotel California Live. At The Capital Centre, 1977.

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair

在昏暗的沙漠公路上，冷風灌進我 的頭髮

Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air

溫熱的colitas香味在空氣中飄過來。 註1:Colatis是西班牙文，指「花蕾」，老鷹樂團用這個字暗指大麻，以避免招來麻煩

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering

 light

前面不遠的地方，我看見了微亮的燈光

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim

我的頭開始變的沉重且視線開始模糊

I had to stop for the night

為了夜晚我必需停下來過夜

There she stood in the doorway;

有個女孩站在門邊

I heard the mission bell

我聽見了教堂的鐘聲

And I was thinking to myself,

而此刻我自己在想

this could be heaven or this could be hell

這裡可能是天堂或可能是地獄

Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way

於是她點起的蠟燭替我帶路

There were voices down the corridor,

有些聲音從走廊傳來

I thought I heard them say...

我想我聽到是他們說著...

Her mind is tiffany-twisted, she got the mercedes bends

How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.

Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the captain,

我找來了旅館領班

please bring me my wine

請他幫我拿酒來

He said, �we haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine�

他說:我們從1969年就已不提供烈酒了。 註2:spirit一般做"精神"、"靈魂"解釋，亦可解釋為：烈酒。

And still those voices are calling from far

 away,

而有些聲音不斷從遠處傳來

Wake you up in the middle of the night

在夜深時刻把你吵醒

Just to hear them say...

只能聽到他們說著...

And in the master's chambers,
