Hotel California ◎Eagles
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
奔馳於黑暗的沙漠路途,冷風穿過我一頭亂髮
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
菸草的溫暖氣味瀰漫
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
就在前方,我看見遠處閃動的光
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
頭愈加沉重,視線陷入昏暗
I had to stop for the night
我得找個地方過夜
There she stood in the doorway; I heard the mission bell
她出現在門口,天命般的鐘聲響起
And I was thinking to myself,
我忖度,
"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"
這裡究竟是天堂,抑或是地獄
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
她燃起蠟燭指引我前方的路
There were voices down the corridor,
迴廊底部傳來絮語
I thought I heard them say...
我聽見他們說……
Welcome to the Hotel California
歡迎來到加州旅館
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
這誘人之地(這誘人之地)
Such a lovely face
多麼美妙的臉龐
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
這裡空餘的房間
Any time of year (Any time of year)
不論何時
You can find it here
歡迎你的到來
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
她沉溺於珠寶和名車造成的精神恍惚
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
她結識許多漂亮的男孩,並稱之為朋友
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
在庭院起舞,甜美的夏日汗水
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget
藉舞蹈以記憶,有些則藉以遺忘
So I called up the Captain,
所以我呼叫侍者
"Please bring me my wine"
給我倒些酒
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine"
他說:「自從一九六九年,我們再沒有那樣的烈酒。」
And still those voices are calling from far away,
那些聲響不斷地從遠方傳來,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
在深夜喚我醒來
Just to hear them say...
只聽見他們說……
Welcome to the Hotel California
歡迎來到加州旅館
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
奇妙的所在(奇妙的所在)
Such a lovely face
那惹人憐愛的臉龐
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
在加州旅館享受人生
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
好得令人吃驚
Bring your alibis
帶著你逃逸的理由
Mirrors on the ceiling,
天花板的懸鏡
The pink champagne on ice
浮冰上的紅粉香檳
And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
而她說:「我們在自己的監牢,做自己的囚犯。」
And in the master's chambers,
在主人的房間,
They gathered for the feast
他們聚集赴宴
They stab it with their steely knives,
他們以銳利的刀戳刺
But they just can't kill the beast
卻無法殺了那頭野獸
Last thing I remember, I was
我記得的最後一件事,是我
Running for the door
正逃向那門
I had to find the passage back
我必須找到逃出的道路
To the place I was before
回到我原先的道路
"Relax, " said the night man,
「放輕鬆,」守夜人對我說,
"We are programmed to receive.
我們照常接待旅客。
You can check-out any time you like,
你可以隨時退房,
But you can never leave! "
但你永遠不能離開!

◎小編有庠賞析
⠀
此首Hotel California發表於1960年代,同名專輯可說是老鷹樂團最音樂事業最成功,商業銷量也最好的一張專輯。回顧歷經鄉村、西部、搖滾等風格的老鷹樂團,成員上也有所變動,連帶雜揉出獨特面貌。在第五張專輯收錄了這首歌,其吉他演奏多為人所稱頌,成為各地樂迷學習、模仿的經典。淒涼的吉他聲拉出荒涼的公路軸線,隨著樂音向黑暗延伸,鏡頭拉至敘述者面前,加入鼓聲。吉他聲賦予追索回憶的進程,鼓聲則穩定敘述語調,漸次堆展至副歌精準的和聲。
評論者對於詞中的情節有多重解釋,內容主要描寫敘述者在公路上奔馳,雜以描述當時美國洛杉磯的生活切面:狂歡、毒品、舞蹈、酒精等等意象,無法退房的加州旅館象徵難以脫逃的沉溺感。第一段敘述者動用多重感官,閃動的光、陰冷的風,以及鼻腔充滿的菸草味共同建構出荒涼景象。以上種種襯托加州旅館的誘人,為了未知可能隱含的傷害性製造更大的張力。主歌以主唱一人獨唱為主,進入副歌則加上合聲,除了呼應「我聽見他們說……」的承接句,開啟旅館內紛呈的景象。第一層張力由此產生,荒涼的環境中佇立炫目奢華的旅館,本質上的衝突除了是敘述者沉溺的理由,同時是後段敘述者發覺事態詭異的理由。
畫面中不斷提及的敘事對象「她」,彷彿具象化這座加州旅館,一步步引人進入,如「她燃起蠟燭指引我前方的路」。敘述者層層陷入「她」的舞蹈與夏日汗水,也順理成章地要了酒精,得到的回應卻是:「自從一九九六年,我們再沒有那樣的烈酒。」
類似形式的副歌,自此再次出現,產生不同意義:先前感到新奇而步入,如今熱情過度的人們顯得格格不入。中後段的吉他獨奏則給予聽者空間,如同換幕的效果,詩中的空行。進一步加深情緒之外,也做為後段啟示的鋪墊:「我們在自己的監牢,做自己的囚犯。」最後一節,一句歌詞令人不安,同樣以過去式寫成:「我記得的最後一件事,是我逃向那門」,除了描寫敘述者慌亂的行為,他記得的最後一件事是自己逃向門,那令人猜想那他現今身在何處?
整體情節製造懸疑,環境景色雖已大不相同,放置到當代仍可成立。在當時,奢糜作為生命逃逸方法的年代,內部的焦慮卻未曾消失。歌詞也許僅是描寫時代切面,但的確觸及了人類思考生命的終極問題。生命如同歌曲:器樂與人聲合唱中,澎拜的聲響反而加深神秘感與不確定感。轉述旅館景象的語調如沉重的叩問,一波波的器樂經歷高潮,而逐漸散退。歌中的人聲轉印至人群心中,揭露各有自己無法逃脫的加州旅館。

candle in the wind 歌詞 在 張盛舒 Facebook 的精選貼文
Judy!Judy!Judy!今天看了電影「茱蒂」,哇噻,芮妮齊薇格演的實在夠給力,太精彩,成功地詮釋了茱蒂嘉蘭的最後人生,讓2020的奧斯卡金像獎最佳女主角獎,幾乎沒有懸念了。
看完電影,每人遮掩發紅的雙眼走出來(別笑我,該怪最後一幕實在太催淚了!),腦海中想起的,除了茱蒂的主題曲Over the rainbow,還有Elton John寫給瑪麗蓮夢露和黛安娜王妃的Candle in the wind。
Loneliness was tough寂寞難熬
The toughest role you ever played那是妳所飾演過最困難的角色
Hollywood created a superstar好萊塢創造了一位超級巨星
And the pain was the price you paid痛苦是妳所付出的代價
這4句歌詞,就是千千萬萬明星成功的代價!
電影一開始,穿西裝的魔鬼向她提出了交易:
「只要聽我的,我將讓妳功成名就!
否則妳就走出這個大門,去當個平凡人,像個小雨滴落入太平洋一樣的,無聲無息。」
在好萊塢的巨大片場裡,浮士德怎可能不出賣自己的靈魂呢?
1938年,只有16歲的嘉蘭被選為《綠野仙蹤》的女主角。電影公司為了控制她的體重,只讓嘉蘭進食黑咖啡和雞湯,每隔四小時吃控制食慾的藥,每天抽80根煙。這成功壓抑了她的體重,但對她的生理和心理健康留下很大的影響。
在電影裡,大老闆冷冷的對小姑娘說:
「妳如果發胖了,戲怎麼拍?誰都不能影響我的片子!」
是的,功成名就!但從此她也沒有了靈魂,嘉蘭一生,一直面對酗酒和濫藥的問題。
1947年,她因壓力巨大情緒崩潰,被送到療養院。她長期情緒不穩,對自己的體重和形象沒有信心,靠濫用藥物逃離現實。
這部電影聚焦在1968年,她47歲香消玉殞的最後2年,結局當然是悲劇,但最後當她用顫抖的聲音唱Over the rainbow ,情緒激動,難以自己時,
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue,
And the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true,
彩虹彼端,天際蔚藍,
那些勇於憧憬的夢想,終將會實現.....
她的鐵粉們,在台下用最溫馨的方式溫暖了她早已凋謝的靈魂,那一刻,生命又充滿了光輝....
不能再爆雷了,聖誕節假期,就是不能放過這部片啊!
對了,聖誕必唱的Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,也是她的歌喔!
先祝福各位,聖誕節快樂!

啊啊 音準還是慘兮兮啊,懶得調整了
簡單用audacity錄一下,把動態壓縮一下,然後加一點點reverb

So I called up the Captain,
