Hotel California Songtext
von Sambô

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 Califórnia
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel Califórnia
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 Califórnia
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
We're livin′ it up at the Hotel California
Any time of year
You can find it here

Welcome to the Hotel Califórnia
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely face
We're livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
Bring your alibis
