(capo II en Am ou sans capo en Bm) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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) Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel California Any time of year (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 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) Such a lovely face They living it up at the Hotel California What a nice surprise (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 check out any time you like But you can never leave!"

Cette chanson raconte l'histoire d'un voyageur qui, sur une route désertique, est attiré par une lumière scintillante et décide de s'arrêter pour la nuit. À son arrivée, il découvre un endroit qui semble enchanteur, accueillant des gens aux vies luxueuses mais aussi chargées de mystère. Il ressent une ambivalence entre l’attrait et le danger, réalisant que les apparences peuvent être trompeuses. Les convives dansent et semblent profiter du moment, mais il réalise aussi que cet endroit a quelque chose d'inquiétant, comme une prison dont il est difficile de s’échapper. Le contexte évoqué est celui d’un monde où les plaisirs matériels peuvent masquer un sentiment d'aliénation, un thème qui mérite réflexion sur la nature de nos désirs et sur ce que nous croyons attendre de la vie. C'est une exploration de la dualité entre l'utopie et l’enfermement, à la recherche d'un sens plus profond derrière les illusions.
