《加州旅馆》（Hotel California）是美国著名乡村摇滚乐队老鹰乐队的歌曲，单曲发行于1977年2月，收录在乐队第五张录音室同名专辑《加州旅馆》中。创作背景60年代是美国音乐界的自由创作时期，摇滚乐的流行成为60年代自由与反叛思想的象征，然而其盛况也逐渐造成了乐手日益糜烂的生活态度。吸毒和淫乱几乎成了每个美国摇滚乐手在70年代走的同一条堕落之路，金钱与享乐成为了摇滚音乐在70年代的新形象。同为音乐人的老鹰乐队看到这样的事实，却无能为力。乐手们已经将这种沉迷的生活看成了是音乐界的常态，摇滚乐手们周围总充满了漂亮的姑娘和糜烂的生活。于是，乐队创作了这首《加州旅馆》。歌曲歌词英文歌词On a dark desert highwaycool wind in my hairWarm smell of colitasrising up through the airUp ahead in the distanceI saw a shimmering lightMy head grew heavy and my sight grew dimI had to stop for the nightThere she stood in the doorwayI heard the mission bellI was thinking to myselfThis could be Heaven or this could be HellThen she lit up a candle and she showed me intowayThere were voices down the corridorI thought I heard them sayWelcome to the Hotel CaliforniaSuch a lovely placeSuch a lovely placeSuch a lovely facePlenty of room at the Hotel CaliforniaAny time of yearAny time of yearYou can find it hereHer mind is Tiffany-twistedshe got the Mercedes benzeShe got a lot of pretty pretty boysshe calls friendsHow they dance in the courtyard sweet summer sweatSome dance to remember some dance to forgetSo I called up the CaptainPlease bring me my wineHe saidWe haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nineAnd still those voices are calling from far awayWake you up in the middle of the nightJust to hear them sayWelcome to the Hotel CaliforniaSuch a lovely placeSuch a lovely placeSuch a lovely faceLivin' it up at the Hotel CaliforniaWhat a nice surpriseWhat a nice surpriseBring your alibisMirrors on the ceilingPink champagne on iceAnd she saidWe are all just prisoners here of our own deviceIn the master's chambersThey gathered for the feastStab it with their steely knivesBut they just can't kill the beastLast thing I remember I wasRunning for the doorI had to find the passage backTo the place I was beforeRelax said the night manWe are programmed to receiveYou can check-out any time you likeBut you can never leave[2] 中文歌词行驶在昏黑的沙漠公路上凉风吹过我的头发浓烈的大麻味道散发在空气中抬头遥望远方我看到微弱的灯光我的头越来越沉视线也变得模糊我不得不停下来寻找过夜的地方她站在门口那儿招呼我我听到远处教堂的钟声在心里对自己说还不知道这里是地狱还是天堂这时她点起一根蜡烛给我引路沿着走廊传来阵阵说话声听到他们在说欢迎来到加州旅馆多么美丽的地方多么可爱的脸庞加州旅馆有如此多的房间一年四季无论何时你都可以在这找到地方带着仿佛如纱般缠绕的心思她开着一辆梅塞德斯奔驰还带着许多漂亮迷人的小伙子她都唤他们叫朋友在庭院里他们舞的多欢挥洒着夏日甜味的香汗有人狂舞中唤起回忆有人狂舞是为了忘记于是我把主人召唤请给我来点酒他说自1969年我们这就再没那东西了远处仍然传来他们的话语在半夜把你吵醒只听到他们在说欢迎到加州旅馆来多么美丽的地方多么可爱的脸庞在加州旅馆他们纵情狂欢多么美妙的惊奇呀为你带来堕落的借口天花板上镶嵌着镜子粉红香槟和冰块浸在一起这时她说我们都是自己欲望的囚徒然后在主人房间里人们举起狂欢之火他们挥舞着钢刀却不能杀死心中的恶魔我只记得我拼命奔向大门我必须寻找来时的路回到我来的地方放松点吧值夜的说道我们天生受诱惑你可以随时结束但你永远无法摆脱（这欲望）
