加州旅馆英文词及翻译
加利福尼亚旅馆是老鹰乐队的专辑,总销量超过了1500万张。同名歌曲以颓废而暧昧的方式反映了70年代人心日下的现实, 这是一种因无力而受挫的时代旨意。 这首单曲太有名了,风头甚至盖过了它的创造者"老鹰乐队"。 HOTEL CALIFORNIA 加州旅馆 在100首最经典的吉他solo中名列第一。现在听到的是94演唱会版本,这个版本的效果比76年原版本更好。
由于是老歌,大家可能都听过。之所以现在把它翻出来,是因为下面歌词的翻译译得比较好,我们可以学习一下,并自己试着翻译翻译,看看差距。
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 dim
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 face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year, you can find it here
月黑大漠路迢迢,风高凛冽客思归,
人倦眼乏昏欲睡,闻香忽见灯火碎,
但见有女娉婷立,耳畔钟声如乐起,
天堂地狱两相忘,浑然不似在人间,
秉烛引路过画廊,人声嘈杂迎客至:
加州客栈诚待客,虚位以侯游子回,
Her mind is Tiffany- twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She 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 nineteen sixty nine’
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
衣香鬓影佳人意,玉郎终始为君来,
放歌纵舞前廊院,香汗淋漓未尽欢:
纵使笙歌能醉月,情未忘我怎忘情?
便向校官索美酒,经年未备意阑珊,
午夜梦回旧馆舍,声声呼唤充耳闻,
倦鸟羁留深林久,此间乐哉不思飞,
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
The 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 ba
ck
To the place I was before
’Relax,’said the night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
but you can never leave
宝镜倒映烛影晃,寒冰装点酒色红,
宾客齐至成盛筵,佳人美酒俱添光,
轻启朱唇惊四座,投杯停箸不能食:
钢刀银叉手中持,心魔犹在不能消,
自我羁押成囚徒,吾辈颓然尚不知。
闻言仓皇寻旧路,四顾茫茫无着处,
明朝更向何处去?更者悠然言少歇:
纵然我辈长别离,此生有命不能弃,
前路漫漫归旧旅,生此回环无尽时。
Heal the world是一首呼唤世界和平的歌曲,十分优秀,歌词倡导人们保护和珍惜我们的环境,让战争远离,世界和平,我们的心中都有一个地方,那就是爱,让我们营造一个没有战争、没有荒地,生机勃勃,到处充满了温暖和关怀的世界,让孩子们可以自由的欢笑,让世界充满爱。
Sing by Michael Jackson
Think about the generations and say we want to make it a better place for our children and our children's children. So that day they know it's a better world for them. And think they can make it a better place.
There's a place in your heart
And I know that it is love
And this place could be
Much brighter than tomorrow
And if you really try
You'll find there's no need to cry
In this place you'll feel
There's no hurt or sorrow
There are ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space
Make a better place...
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
If you want to know why
There's a love that cannot lie
Love is strong
It only cares of joyful giving
If we try
We shall see
In this bliss
We cannot feel fear or dread
We stop existing
And start living
Then it feels that always
Love's enough for us growing
So make a better world
Make a better world...
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
And the dream we were conceived in
Will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in
Will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth
Crucify its soul
Though it's plain to see
This world is heavenly be God's glow
We could fly so high
Let our spirits never die
In my heart I feel you are all my brothers
Create a world with no fear
Together we'll cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords into plowshares
Heal the world
Make it a better place
For you and for me
and the entire human race
There are people dying
If you care enough for the living
Make a better place for you and for me
... ...
You and for me
You and for me
You and for me
... ...

在你心中有个地方,
我知道那里充满了爱。
这个地方会比明天更灿烂。
如果你真的努力过,
你会发觉不必哭泣。

你感觉不到伤痛或烦忧。
到那个地方的方法很多,
如果你真心关怀生者,
营造一些空间。
创造一个更美好的地方...
拯救这世界,
让它变得更好,
为你、为我,为了全人类。
不断有人死去,

如果你想知道缘由,
因为爱不会说谎。
爱是坚强的,
爱就是心甘情愿的奉献。
若我们用心去尝试,
我们就会明白,

我们心中的梦想,
让我们露出笑脸。
我们曾经信赖的世界,
会再次闪烁祥和的光芒。
那么我们为何仍在扼杀生命,
伤害地球,
扼杀它的灵魂?
虽然这很容易明白,
这世界天生就是上帝的荣光。
我们可以在高空飞翔,
让我们的精神不灭。
在我心中,你我都是兄弟,
共同创造一个没有恐惧的世界。
我们一起流下喜悦的泪水,
看到许多国家把刀剑变成了犁耙。
拯救这世界,
让它变得更好,
为你、为我,为了全人类。
不断有人死去,
如果你真心关怀生者,
为你,为我,创造一个更美好的世界。
为你为我
