On a dark desert highway
Cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas
Rising up through the air
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
[Chorus: Don Henley]
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here
[Verse 2: Don Henley]
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted
She got the Mercedes Benz, uh
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 1969"
And still those voices are calling from far away
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say
[Chorus: Don Henley]
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They living it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (What a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis
[Verse 3: Don Henley]
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!
Na tamnoj pustinjskoj autocesti
Cool vjetar u mojoj kosi
Topli miris colitasa
Diže kroz zrak
Naprijed u daljini
Vidio sam svjetlucavo svjetlo
Glava mi je bila teška i moj vid je bio prigušen
Morao sam se zaustaviti za noć
Tamo je stajala na vratima
Čuo sam misiju zvono
I mislio sam na sebe
To može biti nebo ili to može biti pakao
Zatim je zapalila svijeću
I ona mi je pokazala put
Bilo je glasova niz hodnik
Mislio sam da sam ih čuo reći
[Chorus: Don Henley]
Dobro došli u hotel u Kaliforniji
Tako lijepo mjesto (tako lijepo mjesto)
Tako lijepo lice
Puno mjesta u hotelu Kalifornija
Bilo koje doba godine (bilo koje doba godine)
Možete ga pronaći ovdje
[Stih 2: don Henley]
Njezin um je Tiffany-upleten
Dobila je Mercedes Benz, uh
Dobila je mnogo lijepih, lijepih dječaka
Da ona zove prijatelje
Kako plešu u dvorištu
Slatki ljetni znoj
Neki ples za pamćenje
Neki ples zaboraviti
Tako sam nazvao kapetana
Molim vas, donesite mi moje vino
Rekao je: "Nismo imali taj duh ovdje od 1969"
I još uvijek oni glasovi pozivaju daleko
Probudi se usred noći
Samo da ih čujem reći
[Chorus: Don Henley]
Dobro došli u hotel u Kaliforniji
Tako lijepo mjesto (tako lijepo mjesto)
Tako lijepo lice
Oni ga žive u hotelu Kalifornija
Kakvo lijepo iznenađenje (što lijepo iznenađenje)
Donesite svoj alibis
[Stih 3: Don Henley]
Ogledala na stropu
Ružičasti šampanjac na ledu
I rekla je: "Svi smo ovdje samo zatvorenici
Našeg vlastitog uređaja "
Iu gospodarskim komorama
Okupili su se za blagdan
Oni ga ubode sa svojim kneskim noževima
Ali jednostavno ne mogu ubiti zvijer
Posljednje što se sjećam, bio sam
Trčanje za vrata
Morao sam pronaći odlomak natrag
Na mjesto gdje sam bio prije
Opustite se, rekao je noćni čovjek
Mi smo programirani za primanje
Možete provjeriti bilo koje vrijeme
Ali nikada ne možete otići!
