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 dimmer
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 sweats
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 middles of the night
Just to hear them say---
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (such a lovely face)
They living it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise, bring you 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 check out any time you like
But you can never leave’
「加州旅館」是流行音樂史上的一首搖滾經典，這首歌曲於1976年推出以後，不僅很快的佔據排行榜冠軍，也使得老鷹合唱團在美國的地位更加鞏固，樂評界一致稱許該團為美國本土最偉大的搖滾樂團。
夜黑大漠路迢迢，風高冷冽客思巢，
人倦眼昏魂欲睡，聞香忽引燈火撩，
忽見靚女娉婷立，廝耳鬢磨猶嬝繞，
十方無路慌張望，渾然不曉已人間，
秉燭引路過畫廊，人聲鼎沸迎賓躍：
加州客棧待客誠，誤以虛喚遊子歸，
衣香鬢影佳人意，玉郎終始為裙釵，
放歌縱舞前廊院，香汗淋漓未盡摘：
縱管笙歌欲醉月，情未忘我妄情待？
便與雲亂索美酒，經猶未倚意闌珊，
午夜夢迴酒設莞，鶯鶯呼聲卿耳聞，
倦鳥羈留深林久，此間樂疲不思飛，
水鏡倒月燭影夢，寒沙凜凜盡匆行，
賓客齊至成盛筵，佳人美酒玉添晶，
輕啟朱唇驚四座，千杯擺箸不能拾：
柳葉飄飄手中執，心魔猶漾勿停思，
恣我孤洲成昏城，吾卻頹陪竞不知。
聞言倉皇尋舊路，四顧茫茫無著處，
明朝更欲何處續？笙宵猶然琴親樂：
縱使今生長別離，此靈有心不能棄，
前路漫漫歸渡旅，揮此長歌無詞引。
