Hotel California
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 dimmer
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)
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it here.

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, She got the Mercedes Benz
She's got a lot of pretty, pretty boys, that 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 face)
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
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 nightman, We are programed to recieve.
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave

Testo della canzone (traduzione italiana)

Hotel California
Su un'autostrada buia e deserta, vento freddo tra i capelli
caldo odore di colitas si libra nell'aria
In lontananza scorgo una luce scintillante
La mia testa s'era fatta pesante e la mia vista sempre più fioca
Mi dovevo fermare per la notte.

Là lei stava ritta sulla soglia
Sentii il campanello
E pensai tra me e me
'Questo potrebbe essere il paradiso ma potrebbe anche essere l'inferno'
Poi lei accese una candela e mi mostrò la strada
C'erano voci nel corridoio, credo dicessero...

Benvenuto all'Hotel California
Un tale posticino (un tale posticino)
abbondanza di stanze all'Hotel California
puoi trovare in qualsiasi stagione.

La sua mente è piena di Tiffany, ha una Mercedes Benz
Ha avuto molti ragazzi carini, che lei chiama amici
Come danzano nel cortile, dolce sudore estivo
Alcuni ballano per ricordare, altri ballano per dimenticare.

Così chiamai il Capo, 'Per favore, mi porti il mio vino'
Lui disse, 'Non abbiamo quel tipo di vino dal 1969'
E ancora quelle voci chiamavano in lontananza
Ti svegliavi nel mezzo della notte
Solo per sentirle dire...

Benvenuto all'Hotel California
Un tale posticino (dalla faccia talmente incantevole)
Si godono la vita all'Hotel California
Che bella sorpresa, procurano i tuoi alibi.

Specchi sul soffitto, champagne rosa con ghiaccio
E lei disse "Qui noi siamo tutti prigionieri, di nostro capriccio'
E nelle camere del padrone, si sono radunati per la festa
L'hanno pugnalato con i loro coltelli d'acciaio, ma non riuscirono ad uccidere la bestia.

L'ultima cosa che ricordo, stavo cercando la porta
Dovevo trovare un passaggio per tornare dov'ero prima
'Rilassati' disse l'uomo notturno, 'qui siamo programmati per accogliere.
Puoi lasciare la stanza e pagare quando vuoi, ma non potrai mai andartene realmente'

hard to say i'm sorry - chicago
Ev'rybody needs a little time away
I've heard her say
From each other
Even lovers need a holiday
Far away from each other
Hold me now
it's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to stay
After all that we've been through,
I will make it up to you
I promise to
And after all that's been said and done
you're just a part of me I can't let go
Couldn't stand to be kept away
Just for the day
From your body
Wouldn't want to be swept away
Far away from the one that I love
Hold me now
It's hard for me to say I'm sorry
I just want you to know
Hold me now
I really want to tell you I'm sorry
I could never let you go
After all that we've been through,
I will make it up to you
I promise to
And after all that's been said and done
you're just a part of me I can't let go
After all that we've been through,
I will make it up to you,
I promise to
You're gonna be the lucky one
You're gonna be the lucky one

America > A Horse With No Name And Other Hits (2004) > A Horse With No Name

On the first part of the journey
I was looking at all the life
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
There was sand and hills and rings
The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
And the sky with no clouds
The heat was hot and the ground was dry
But the air was full of sound

I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After two days in the desert sun
My skin began to turn red
After three days in the desert fun
I was looking at a river bed
And the story it told of a river that flowed
Made me sad to think it was dead

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

After nine days I let the horse run free
'Cause the desert had turned to sea
There were plants and birds and rocks and things
there was sand and hills and rings
The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
And a perfect disguise above
Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
But the humans will give no love

You see I've been through the desert on a horse with no name
It felt good to be out of the rain
In the desert you can remember your name
'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
La, la ...

Africa-Toto

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man on the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say,
"Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"
Chorus:
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serangetti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become
(Chorus)
Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Boston - More Than A Feeling Lyrics

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away
It's more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to
play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away
So many people have come and gone
Their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on
as clear as the sun in the summer sky
It's more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to
play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away
When I'm tired and thinking cold
I hide in my music, forget the day
and dream of a girl I used to know
I closed my eyes and she slipped away
She slipped awa y. She slipped away.
It's more than a feeling, when I hear that old song they used to
play (more than a feeling)
I begin dreaming (more than a feeling)
'till I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

Mike Oldfield-Moonlight Shadow




The last that ever she saw him,
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
He passed on worried and warning,
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
Lost in a riddle that Saturday night,
Far away on the other side.
He was caught in the middle of a desperate fight
And she couldn't find how to push through.

The trees that whisper in the evening,
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
Sing a song of sorrow and grieving,
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
All she saw was a silhouette of a gun,
Far away on the other side.
He was shot six times by a man on the run
And she couldn't find how to push through.

[ Chorus ]

I stay, I pray
See you in heaven far away.
I stay, I pray
See you in heaven one day.

Four a.m. in the morning,
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
I watched your vision forming,
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
Stars roll slowly in a silvery night,
Far away on the other side.
Will you come to terms with me this night,
But she couldn't find how to push through.

[ Repeat Chorus ]

Far away on the other side.

Caught in the middle of a hundred and five.
The night was heavy and the air was alive,
But she couldn't find how to push through.

Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
Carried away by a moonlight shadow.
Far away on the other side.
But she couldn't find how to push through
