Hotel California...

You can checkout any time you like, but you can never leave!
Ya tenía yo ganas de hincarle el diente a esta canción... mítica... que para muchos melómanos es "la mejor canción del mundo"... aunque a decir verdad, la letra es algo enrevesada, al menos al traducirla... pero musicalmente es una pasada... Por eso rompo las costumbres y te zampo ya el vídeo... en una de las versiones que más me gusta de esta maravilla... un acústico IMPRESIONANTE... lo que más me gusta deél son los dos minutos instrumentales del principio y otros casi dos del final... Dale volumen a tus altavoces... disfruta de ella y luego sigue leyendo... si la emoción te deja... claro... Ah!! detallazo al ponerte la letra subtitulada en español... para que veas lo que decía de la letra enrevesada...

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

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes Benz
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

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 night man,
We are programmed to receive.
You can checkout any time you like,
but you can never leave!

¿De qué podemos hablar ahora...? si me he quedado sin palabras!!!

Me limito a recordar lo injusto que es el mundo... cuando para algunos de nosotros es una "odisea" elegir hotel para unas vacaciones o una escapada de puente... y cuanta gente sin techo o en precarias condiciones vive una "odiosa odisea"...

Me limito a dar gracias a la Vida y a Dios por tener la suerte de tan sólo tener que preocuparme de cosas tan poco preocupantes como elegir un hotel... céntrico, bien situado, a buen precio y con vistas al mar... como el de la foto...

Buenas noches... hasta mañana...
