Hotel California

On the desert road
The wind messes up my hair
The smell of colitas rises
Moon, nobody's moon
She in the distance
A flickering light
The idea of my being
Staying for the night
There she was at the entrance
And the bells were ringing
And I found myself calling
This is the door to heaven
She lights a candle
As a sign of the way
Voices sound in the corridor
And what they indicate saying

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place

She who shone beside
Had a Mercedes
Surrounded by handsome boys
She called them friends
When she comes slowly
From the summer tomb
That was to remember
And another to forget
I asked the captain
To serve the wine
And I asked with a love
Tinged with this alcohol
From this sixty-nine
Famous and calling
Because it will wake me up
The night to say

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place
Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
Such a lovely place

The mirror on the ceiling
Champagne on ice
And she said we are all prisoners
Of our own will
And in the master rooms
They make it dirty
Up to here to the beast
But they can't kill it

My last memory
I ran to the door
Seeing a candle on the way
Where I had arrived
Relax said the gatekeeper
For me it is an honor to receive
You can leave whenever you want
But I never leave
