If the sky that we look upon Should tumble and fall Or the mountain Should crumble to the sea I won't cry, I won't cry No, I won't shed a tear Just as long as you stand stand by me
この言葉に集約されている心こそがこの曲なのだ。
When the night has come And the land is dark And the moon is the only light we see No, I won't be afraid
Oh, I won't be afraid Just as long as you stand stand by me, So, darling darling Stand by me Oh stand by me Oh stand Stand by me Stand by me
If the sky that we look upon Should tumble and fall Or the mountain Should crumble to the sea I won't cry, I won't cry No, I won't shed a tear Just as long as you stand stand by me
Darling darling Stand by me Oh stand by me Oh stand now Stand by me Stand by me..
Darling darling Stand by me Oh stand by me Oh stand now Stand by me Stand by me
Whenever you're in trouble Won't you stand by me, Oh stand by me Oh stand now Oh stand
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 thinkin’ to myself : “This could be heaven and 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) Such a lovely face Plenty of room at the Hotel California, Any time of year, (Any time of year) You can find it here
Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, She got the Mercedes Bends, She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys 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 place) Such a lovely face They’re livin’ it up at the Hotel California, What a nice surprise, (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 stabbed 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 check out anytime you like… but you can never leave”
