A few days ago, I chatted with a few friends in my mind. Some people mentioned the "Yesterday" (Yesterday) and "Hey, Zhu Di"; some people mention Simon and plus SiMon & Garfunkel's "Sound of Silence" and "Scarborough Fair". But in the end, everyone finally agreed to an almost all of the favorite: House California, an eagle band (Eagles).
However, after I turned out the lyrics of the California hotel, I found that although this song once listened countless, its lyrics were not so well understood. Even in the entire network, the California hotel refers to what is physical or symbolized? This problem is still unconpected in the eagle fan. Let us listen to this song first, take a look at the lyrics. The MP3file of the song I list two addresses, I hope that at least one can be used.

Hotel California (The 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 facepenty of room at the hotel cagifornia any time of year, you can find it here
Her Mind Is Tiffany-Twisted, She Got The Mercedes Bends She Got A Lot of Pretty, Pretty Boys, That She Calls Friends How Dance In The Courtyard, Sweet Summer Sweat. 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 The Say ... Welcome to The Hotel California Such a lovely place claim a lovely face the 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!
Here is the Chinese I found in the network:
On the dark highway, the cold air blows my hair. The strong flue-tobacco taste is exuded in the air, looking up in the distance. I look at it. I have seen a little slight light. My head is getting more and more heavy, the sight is slow, I have to stop Down overnight
She stood at the door, I heard the bell of the church. I told myself that heaven may be hello or hell. Then she ignited the candle to talk to the road in the road. I seem to hear them ... Welcome to the California hotel. What a lovely place, how cute face here, there are many rooms, you can find it.
Her heart is a knotted yarn she holds Mercedes Mercedes-Benz. She has a lot of beautiful boys. She is said to be her friend. They dance in the yard. Summer sweating is some memories. Some have forgotten me to lead the meeting. Give me some wine, but say that we have no spirits since 1969.
Those speaking are still coming from afar, listening to them in the middle of the night, listening to them ...
Welcome to how cute in the California hotel, how cute faces they are here to enjoy how surprised people bring to your degeneration
The ceiling is inlaid in the mirror champagne in ice. She said that we are only imprisoned here with the world. They are isolated in the owner's bedroom. They are dinner. They use steel knives to cut but they can't kill the beast.
I remember that I ran to the door but I had to find the way to come, and the people who guarded the night said that we only follow the procedure to receive you, you can check out but you will never leave.

You may have discovered that some Chinese translation is not accurate, I will translate the translation here, I just want to talk about some of these mistakes, some are obvious understanding errors, and some places are really original.
> ON A DARK Desert Highway, Cool Wind in My Hair> On the dark and desolate highway> cold wind blowing my hair
Desert: At the same time, there are two meanings that are unscrupulous and deserts, here should be directly translated into a desert more appropriate. This song said that the story happened in Southern California, the desert is one of the scenic characteristics of South California. The cool breeze brushed into my hair on the highway of the night desert> WARM SMELL of Colitas, Rising Up through the air> Soft Flue to Tobacco> Evil in the air
COLITAS: I didn't know that the translator got this explanation from there, but it was wrong. This word does not explain in English Dictionary, because this is not an English word. This is a Spanish, South California and Mexican neighbors, so Spanish often mixed in the spoken language. COLA is tail in Spanish, and colitas is a plurality of words, meaning small tail (Little Tails). In the 1970s, the marki of marijuana was called a small tail, so the colitas here should be naja. Cannabis called the flue-cured tobacco can also be an idea. The warm breath of the flue-cured tobacco is distributed in 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> Looking up to the distance> I saw a little weak light> My head is getting more The more heavy, the vision of the line of sight is blurred> I have to stop overnight.
Head grew Heavy is a tired state, and it is also a phenomenon that can be seen in the weapo.
I have seen a slight light in front of my head mixed out, I have to stay in this place.
> There she stood in the doorway;> i hear the mission bell> and i was thinking to myself,> / 'this could be heaven or this could beh Hell /'> THE LIT UPA CANDLE AND She Showed me the Way> Therene Voices Down The Corridor,> I Thought I Heard Theme ...> She stands there> I heard the bell of the church> I tell yourself> This may be heaven or hell> then she ignited the candle I have a road version> The corridor came to talk: I seem to hear them ...
It is that she is standing at the door, and I will tell myself that this will be hell or heaven and then she ignited a candle. I will take a look at my front corridor. I seem to hear them.
> 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> Welcome to California Hotel> What a lovely place> How cute face > There are many rooms here> Cast> You can find it
Welcome to an attractive place to California Hotel, a beautiful look, always welcome the room in the California hotel, every day, every day, free room
> Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends> 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 > Her heart is knotted gauze> She has Mercedes Mercedes-Benz> She has a lot of beautiful boys> She said it is her friend> They dance in the yard> Summer sweating> Some memories, Some have forgotten the thin green yarn although it is Tiffany's dictionary translation, it should not be translated here. Tiffany is used as uppercase and is a special name, which is a very famous French art. It has two meanings, one is Tiffany jewelry, Hong Kong translates into a new Vofini, which is a hot product collected in the world; another meaning is Tiffany's glass art, which has developed into a genre with glass. The two meaning of this term is two French named Tiffany. Here, Tiffany should be the meaning of glass products. By rotating the glass after fencing, the traces of the rotation of naturally left after cooling. Worders are obviously WordPlay (play words), because the following Me Xi Mercedes, not used the original trademark MERCEDES BENZ, change Benz to Bends, which is for Twist and Bend have a bending point, this It is very similar to Chinese in Chinese. Some Dance To Remember, here is also translated. Some is not a qualified word here. Dance is here a verb, and some is a pronoun, the subject. So this should be "Some people dance is to remember."
Her heart is twisted, she has MSI Mercedes-Benz, she has many friends, they are drifting, they dance in the backyard, sweet summer sweat, and some people ask forget, some people ask for remember
> 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 theme ...> I told me! Please give me some wine> He says that we have no spirits since 1969> Those speech still from far away It came to the place> Wake you in late night> I heard them ...
Spirit refers to a high wine precision.
I am calling over the leader "Give me a good wine." He said, we have no supply since 196.
The far away is still coming to wake you in the late night.
> Welcome to The Hotel California> Such a lovely place> Such a lovely face> The Livin / 'IT Up at The Hotel California> What a nice surprise, bring your alibis> Welcome to California Hotel> How cute place> What lovely Perside> They enjoy life here> What amazing> Bring your degeneration
Welcome to an attractive place to come to California Hotel, a beautiful scenery, everyone is happy in the California, the beautiful surprise is a quick release.
> Mirrors on the ceiling,> The Pink Champagne On Ice> and She Said / 'We Are All Just Prisoners Here, Our Own Device /'> And in The master / 's Chambers,> The Gathered for the Feast> The Stab IT with their steely knives,> But They Just Can / 'T Kill The Beast> Slice in the ceiling> Champagne in Ice> She said> We just imprison himself here> with the world isolated> Bedroom in the master > They are dinner> They cut with steel knives> But they can't kill the beast
"The mirror is immersed on the sky, the pink champagne is immersed on ice," this is a representative lens of erosion and porn in Hollywood. Of One / 'S Own Device: Of One /' S Own Wish (the meaning of someone's own wish.) is a common scene of the cult in the horror film of Halang: In a big room, people In the ceremony of carnival, many people use a knife to assassinate the beasts representing the devil.
The mirror is embedded on the ceiling, and the pink champagne is immersed in ice, but she said that we are prisoners here, which is liabors for their own desire. In the main hall, people raise the fire of the carnival, they use the knife to smash but kill the devil.
> 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!> I finally ran to the door> But I have to find the way I came to come! Don't be nervous, the people who guard against the night said> we just follow the program reception> you You can check out at any time> But you will never leave
We are programmed to receive, it should refer to the meaning of our natural and easy to succumb to (desire).
I finally remember that I am desperate to go to the gate, I have to find the loop and take the original step. Let's relax, the watchman said. We are naturally tempting you can end at any time but never get rid of

What does the California Hotel do? Where is it? Some people think that the California hotel in the song does exist, and there are three statements of hotels, drug rehabilitation, mental hospitals. Think that there is only this hotel, Todos Santos, Todos Santos, South California, is found to find everything they need. The town is next to the desert of the Southern California highway, there is a hotel like a record cover in the town. It is a church that will come in the middle of the night, and this hotel is prior to dark. Porn trading. The owner of the hotel claims that this is the "California Inn" in the song, but the hostel history is that the renaming of the hotel is only in the 1980s after the song. In the late 1990s, several newspapers began to publish this authentic "California Inn" story, and finally finally attracted the formal official denying of song creators in 2000: The members of the Eagle band never have to be over. The song itself has several times to drugs, which is the source of the California Hotel is the source of drug rehabilitation. According to this: California Inn is a voluntary drug addicts next to the South California Highway, and the eagle players have taken drugs and admitted to the hospital. The source of lyrics. The lyrics implied in the beginning of Colitas, the head felt the characteristics of the smoke. "LIT UP A Candle" is a common language of drug use, and dancing in the backyard is a phenomenon of failure after drug abuse. This voluntary drug addict is mainly open to the middle class, between the sanatorium and the drug rehabilitation, and the phenomenon of lastrophic is a normal in the 1970s. Drug addicts allow you to heal and leave the drug addiction in a certain period of time, but you can't get rid of the shadow of the old track, which is "you can check out, but you can't leave". The strange lyrics may be the source of mental hospital. The meaning of the lyrics associated with it is: constantly there is a distant audience, heaven and hell refer to mental patients, some evil spirits, such as the evil spirits, such as the angel, uninterested; in the backyard, a magical dance The thoughts of mind are the straightforward words; the prisoners of their own thoughts are also ink; want to kill the devil, but always kill the illusion of unsatisfactory psychosis. Of course, mental illness is the same as drugs, you can think you are temporary, but you can't guarantee that it will be normal, never leave the shadow. In the seventy-deccess, it was prevalent in the art of horror movies, and this lyrics were ticking such a story frame. One person on the remote desert road, the beautiful people in front of the door, the mystery of the bar, the mystery of the backyard . These always have a feeling of ghost Edison, and in terrorists, mental hospitals are often the main background place. four
Relative to the field is looking for, California Hotel is a symbol of virtuality, apparently persuasive. But what is this symbol? This also has at least three statements of music world, Los Angeles, American society. In the 1960s, it was a period of free creation in the American music industry. The popularity of rock and rolls became the symbol of freedom and rebellion ideas in the 1960s, but its grand occasions also brought business people unlimited greedy eyes. Drug abuse and lastrophies have become a new image of rock and enjoyment in the 1970s. The new image of rock music in the 1970s. The same example of the eagle orchestra of the musicians, but there is no power. The musicians have seen this subtle life as a music world, and the rock musicians are always full of beautiful faces and beautiful locations. For the external question, they always forgive me: Let's relax, we are born to be tempted. The music industry can't kill the money of money, even if some individuals can end, it will never get rid of it. In 1969 Woodstock, it is regarded as a rock peak party. Spirit also has a spiritual meaning, and the lyrics suggest that after Woodstop, no matter how beautiful it looks, the spirit of rock is no longer existed. Think that this song symbolizes the American society to understand the 1969th: 1969 is the last year of the 1960s, saying that there is no such spirit since 196, refers to the United States for the 1960s. Freedom, peace, equality spirit. However, in the 1970s, the United States encountered the Middle East oil crisis, the defeat of the Vietnam War, the Nixon's water door event, etc. On the night, the spirit of the United States turned from the youth of struggle into vulgar and decadent middle age. Two three years ago, there was a STANLEY KUBRICK to shoot a "Eye Wide Open", and the viewers who have seen this movie can find this in this movie content. Lyrics Many appetite episodes. Also the same drug abuse, the same ridiculous chaos, and the same worship, and the same shadow that cannot be gone. This movie is like an explanation of this song, telling that that is already unbearable American society. Los Angeles said that the eagle band he replied after people in question. Although the song said like a novel, he left the author to explain, Don Henley is explained in this way: " We are a group of young people from the middle and western China Middle School, California Hotel is our understanding of the upper society of Los Angeles. It can see a symbol of the United States that always pursues luxury life, not just about California And Bellan Mountains. "(" WEERE All Middle-Class Kids from the Midwest, "Henley Said of the Eagles." / 'Hotel California /' Wasor Interpretation of The High Life In Los Angeles .......... .י......... .י............. .SEtthakemi?
The "California Inn" started from the beginning, immediately attracted a lot of questioning and criticism. Although no one dares to say that their understanding is a positive solution, but the obvious drug abuse, sex, cult, etc. in the lyrics still causing the dissatisfaction of moral guards, and in the United States, there are religious groups in the United States. However, the "California Inn" songs became a classic guitar melody, the strange lyrics content, the feeling of sadness, making this "California Inn" mysterious forever, becomes the favorite.

The moon is dark, the wind is high, and the wind is home.
People are tired of sleep, sleep, smell the light,
But I saw that there was a female 娉 Tingli, and the bell in the ear is like music.
The heavenly prison forgot two times, it is not similar in the world,
Candles pass through the gallery, people with noisy welcomes visit:
Ceremathe Inn sincerity, the vital position is hou,
Yuxiang, shadow, good people, Yulang finally,
Let's sing the song, the front of the gallery, the sweating is unhappy:
Even if the song can drunk the month, I didn't forget how I forgot?
I will give you a beautiful wine to the school, and I have not ready for the year.
Midnight dreams back to the old hall, the sound calls for forever,
Tired birds stay deep away, this is a happy flight,
The treasure mirror refreshed the candle shaking, the cold ice, the wine is red,
The guests are arrogant, and the beautiful wine is exported.
Light, Zhu Lip is shocked, the cup is stopped:
Steel knife silver fork is held in hand, the heart is still unable to cons.
Self-detained into a prisoner, I didn't know anything.
Waitang Huang Looking for the old road, four gains,
Where is the Ming Dynasty? More leisurely less:
Even if I don't leave, I can't give up this life.
The front road is long, and it is endless.
