The Eagles - Hotel California - Original

The Eagles - Hotel California - Original

1969

この歌にはなにやら、深いメッセージがあると何年か前に友が教えてくれた。

当時この曲はラジオから流れていて、聞き取れないまま（いまだによく意味はわからないのですが）、繰り返し聴いていたので、美しいメロディーが記憶の中に残っていたので・・・。

昨日、連れに頼まれ、韓流ドラマ「ラストスキャンダル」を借りにツタヤまで。案の定レンタル中、ぶらぶらしていたら

イーグルスのこの曲の入ったアルバム発見、早速かりました。

ただ今、おばのデジブック作成中。人の生涯をデジブックにする、というのもおこがましい気がするのですが、・・・。

その過程で一枚一枚の写真をよく見ると、その人の生きざまが見え隠れするような気がします。

このデジブックは公表する予定はないのですが、DVD にはしてみようと思います。

完成を急がねばという気持ちと完成したくないとい気持ちが半々な今日この頃です。

 

 

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 place (background)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year
Any time of year (background)
You can find it here
You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany twisted
She's got the Mercedes bends
She's 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...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely Place
Such a lovely Place (background)
Such a lovely face
They're livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise
What a nice surprise (background)
Bring your alibies

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 nightman,
We are programed to recieve.
You can check out any time you like,
But you can never leave!
