Hotel California
Perez Belle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El viento me despeina
Suave aroma de colitas
Luna luna de el aries
Ella de lo lejos
Una luz se entela
La bella del mercan
Te vi por el anoche
Alli estaba en la entrada
why la campana venga sonar
why me dijo lla venimos
Que se apoderado del cielo
Ella enciende una vela
why muestra el camino
Soy vos el corriador
why yo senti que dicen
Welcome to see hotel California
Such a lovely place , such a lovely place
Welcome to see hotel California
Such a lovely place , such a lovely place
Miraba lo que brillaba
why era una Mercedes
Rodeada de chicos guapos
Que ella llama amigos
Cuando baila en el patio
Perfuma de verano
Hay que verla para recordar
why otra para olvidar
Le pide el capitan
Que sirva el vino
why me dijo no amo
Temido este alcohol
Desde el '69
Las voces que estan llamando
Hay que verla para recordar
why otra para olvidar
Welcome to see hotel California
Such a lovely place , such a lovely place
Welcome to see hotel California
Such a lovely place , such a lovely place
(parlando)
El espejo en el techo
El Champagne en el hielo
why ella dijo
Somos todos prisioneros
Por su propia voluntad
why a los cuatro principales
Hacen su fiesta
Atacan a la bestia
Pero no la logran matar
Mi ultimo recuerdo
Corri atender la puerta
Me dio un corte de camino
Por donde habia llegado
Ella se endica al portero
Pone su nombre a recibir
Puede salir cuando quiera
Pero nunca yo parti
Welcome to see hotel California
Such a lovely place , such a lovely place
Welcome to see hotel California
Such a lovely place , such a lovely place .
The opening verse of the song, "Por el camino del desierto, El viento me despeina," sets the scene of the song’s protagonist traveling through the desert. The use of descriptive language serves to transport the listener into this world. The image of “colitas” in the wind conjures up a sense of freedom and abandon. The next line, "Luna llena en el aire," further reinforces this feeling of being at one with nature. The introduction of the "bella del Mar" adds a sense of intrigue and mystery to the song.
As the singer approaches the titular hotel, they are greeted by a bell that rings out, beckoning them inside. They meet a woman who shows them the way and lights a candle. The song sets up a sense of anticipation and wonder for what is to come. The singer observes the opulence and beauty of the hotel and its inhabitants. The mention of a Mercedes surrounded by beautiful people creates a sense of exclusivity and glamour. The following verse, "Le pide el capitan que sirva el vino, y me dijo no hay," serves as a reminder that not everything is as it seems.
At its core, "Hotel California" is a tale about the perils of excess and the loss of innocence. It paints a picture of a world where appearances are deceiving, and those enamored by it are doomed to be trapped by their own desires. The repeated chorus, "Welcome to the Hotel California, such a lovely place," serves both as an invitation and a warning for those who enter. The song is a timeless classic, with a story that continues to resonate with audiences worldwide.
