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

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

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!

Na mracnom pustinjskom autoputu, hladan vetar u mojoj kosi
Topili miris colitas, se dizao kroz vazduh
Malo dalje ispred, vieo sam trepcuce svetlo
Glava mi je postala teska i http://lyricstranslate.com vid mi je postao nejasan
Morao sam se zaustaviti na noć Ona je stajala tamo na ulazu;
Čuo sam misionarsko zvono
I mislio sam u sebi:
„Ovo može biti raj, a može biti i pakao”
Onda je osvetlila svecom i pokaza nam put
Čuo sam zvukove dole niz hodnik,
Mislim da sam čuo da kažu...
Dobro dosao u „Hotel Kalifornia”
Tako divno mesto
Tako divno lice
Ima mnogo soba u „Hotelu Kalifornia”
U svako doba godine
Možeš ih naći ovde
Njen um je svileno uvrnut, imala je Mercedes Benz
Imala je dosta lepih, leph momaka, koje je zvala prijateljima
Kako plesu u dvoristu, slatki letnji znoj.
Neki plesu da pamte, neki plesu da zaborave
Pa sam pozvao glavnog konobara,
„Molim vas donesite mi vino” On je rekao:
„ Nismo imali to pice ovde od '968”.
I još uvek su glasovi zvali iz daleka
Probude te u sred noći
Samo da ih cujes kako kažu
Dobro dosao u „Hotel Kalifornia”
tako divno mesto,
tako divno lice
oni to prezivljavaju u „Hotelu Kalifornia”
kakvo lepo iznenadjenje, ponesi svoje alibie
Ogledalo na plafonu.
Roze sampanjac u leduđu
I ona je rekla
„Mi smo svi samo zatocenici ovde, sopstveni uredjaji”
I u glavnoj dvorani
Okupili su se za gozbu
Ubadali su sa celičnim nozevima
Ali jednostavno nisu mogli ubiti zver
Poslednje čega se secam
Bezao sam prema vratima
I morao sam da nađemprolaz nazad
Do mesta gde sam bio pre
„Opusti se” rekao je noćnicovek
„ Mi smo ovde da te primimo
Možeš se odjaviti kada god želiš
Ali ne možeš nikada otici”

Ne bih zeleo da ulazim u dublju analizu i sve ono sto je pripisano ovoj pesmi, ali zeleo bih da postavim pitanje, zar nema svako od nas svoj Hotel Kaliforniju...
Ko razume, shvatice...
