一首反諷社會的歌曲
演變成經典歌曲之一
當時七零年代所撰寫的諷刺歌詞,竟然可無縫接軌的形容當今社會。
這是一首收錄在《加州旅館》同名專輯的歌曲,
Eagles是一支成立於美國七零年代的搖滾樂團,Eagles
Hotel California是用來控訴那個年代所發生的事情。
歌詞當中,calitas這個字詞受到蠻大的爭議與注視。cal
伴奏想起,清脆響亮的吉他聲伴入耳邊,
當初所唱的社會樣貌,依舊每天發生在現今社會
若我們不願認清事實,就如同沈浸在毒品般的虛幻快樂
「當知道你的離世,有人會哭泣;也有人會對着天上的星星,
歌詞:Hotel California-Eagles
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 Benz
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
They 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!
中文歌詞:加州旅館-老鷹合唱團
荒漠漆黑高速公路上,冷風吹亂了我的頭髮
空氣中飄來仙人掌溫暖的氣味
望向遠方,我看到閃爍的燈光}
我的頭越來越昏沈,視線模糊,我得停下來過夜
她就站在門邊,我聽到了教堂的鐘聲
我心裡想,這兒可能是天堂也可能是地獄
然後她點燃蠟燭為我帶路
走廊傳來許多聲音,我想它們是說
歡迎蒞臨加州旅館
親切的態度(親切的臉龐)
美麗的房間盡在加州旅館
無論哪一天,你都能找到空房間
她總是追求名牌時尚,她擁有賓士轎車
還有她稱之為朋友的俊美男孩們
他們在庭院裡跳舞,汗水淋漓
有人跳舞是為了回憶,有人是為了遺忘
於是我請酒保過來 '帶我的酒來'
他說'我們這兒從1969年起就不再供應烈酒了'
那些聲音依然從遠方傳來
將你從午夜時分喚醒,只為了聽他們說著
歡迎蒞臨加州旅館 這麼美好的地方
人們都在加州旅館裡尋歡作樂
多麼美麗的驚喜,是你逃避的藉口
天花板上的鏡子,冰鎮的粉紅色香檳
她說'我們都是這裡自投羅網的囚犯'
主人的房裡,所有人齊赴盛宴
他們用鋼刀戳刺獵物 卻無法宰殺那隻野獸
我最後記得的是:
我奪門而出,我得回到未完的旅程,回到從前的地方
' 別緊張',值夜者說 ' 我們已接獲指示
您隨時都可以買單,但您別想離開!
