Sur une route noire du désert
'Y avait du vent dans mes cheveux
L'odeur des colitas s'est levée comme l'enfer
Et puis loin devant moi
J'ai vu une lumière toute petite
Ma tête est bien lourde
Mes yeux se sont foncés
Il fallait m'arrêter pour la nuit
Elle était là, devant la porte
L'heure se sonnait tout précis
Et je me pensais
Ce devrait être l'enfer ou le paradis
Puis elle a frappé du feu une bougie
Et l'intérieur s'est illuminé
J'ai entendu des voix dans la nuit
Qu'est-ce qu'elles disaient?
Elles disaient...
Bienvenue à l'Hôtel de Californie
C'est tellement beau
C'est tellement beau
'Y a plein de chambres à l'Hôtel de Californie
N'importe quand, on y trouvera certain monde
'Y a des miroirs sur le plafond
Et la champagne arrosée
Elle a dit: "on est tous que des prisonniers
Qu'est-ce qu'on a fait
Dans les chambres du maître
Ils se sont rassemblés pour la fête
Ils attaquent avec des couteaux de fer
Mais ils peuvent pas tuer la bête
Je me souviens d'une chose encore
Je me suis rué vers la porte
Il me faillait trouver la route
La route qui se finit dehors
Mais calme-toi, les sécurités
Nous sommes programmés pour dire « bonjour, allez »
Vous pouvez dire au revoir quand vous voulez
Mais vous ne partirez jamais
Bienvenue à l'Hôtel de Californie
C'est tellement beau
C'est tellement beau
'Y a plein de chambres à l'Hôtel de Californie
N'importe quand, on y trouvera certain monde
Lalalala
Lalalala
Ah oui, c'est ça
Ah oui, monsieur
