Hotel California

On the desert roadPor el camino del desierto
The wind messes up my hairEl viento me despeina
The smell of colitas risesSube el aroma de colita
Moon, nobody's moonLuna, luna de nadie
She in the distanceElla a lo lejos
A flickering lightUna luz centela
The idea of my beingLa idea de mi estar
Staying for the nightQuedar por la noche
There she was at the entranceAlli estaba a la entrada
And the bells were ringingY las campanas a sonar
And I found myself callingY me di con llamarme mismo
This is the door to heavenQue es puerta del cielo
She lights a candleElla enciende una vela
As a sign of the wayEn muestra del camino
Voices sound in the corridorSuenan voces en el corredor
And what they indicate sayingY lo que indican diciendo

She who shone besideElla al lado que brillaba
Had a MercedesTenia una Mercedes
Surrounded by handsome boysRodeada de chicos guapos
She called them friendsElla llamaba amigos
When she comes slowlyCuando viene despacio
From the summer tombDel tumba de verano
That was to rememberAquel era pa'recordar
And another to forgetY otro pa' olvidar
I asked the captainLe pedi al capitan
To serve the wineQue sirve el vino
And I asked with a loveY pedi con un amor
Tinged with this alcoholTenido este alcohol
From this sixty-nineDe este sesenta y nueve
Famous and callingFamosa y que llamando
Because it will wake me upPues me va a despertar
The night to sayLa noche para decir

The mirror on the ceilingEl espejo en el techo
Champagne on iceChampana en el hielo
And she said we are all prisonersY ella dijo somos todos prisioneros
Of our own willDe propia voluntad
And in the master roomsY en los cuartos principales
They make it dirtyHacen sucias esta
Up to here to the beastHasta aca a la bestia
But they can't kill itPero no la logra a matar

My last memoryMi ultimo recuerdo
I ran to the doorCorria hacia la puerta
Seeing a candle on the wayVer una candela en el camino
Where I had arrivedPor donde habia llegado
Relax said the gatekeeperRelax dijo el portero
For me it is an honor to receivePor mi es honor recibir
You can leave whenever you wantPuede salir cuando quiere
But I never leavePero nunca yo partir
