Hotel California - Eagles


Et celle-ci, en termes de paroles obscures... Bon courage!

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 receive.
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave

Mr Brownstone, Guns 'n Roses

Allez, c'est parti avec la proposition de Petit Tout Mimi:

I get up around seven
Get outta bed around nine
And I don't worry about nothin' no
'Cause worrin's a waste of my... time

The show usually starts around seven
We go on stage around nine
Get on the bus about eleven
Sippin' a drink and feelin' fine

Chorus:
We been dancin' with Mr. Brownstone
He's been knockin'
He won't leave me alone
No, no ,no, he won't leave me alone
I used ta do a little but a little wouldn't do
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' ta get a little better
Said the little better than before
I used ta do a little but a little wouldn't do
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' ta get a little better
Said the little better than before

Chorus

Now I get up around whenever
I used ta get up on time
But that old man he's a real muthafucker
Gonna kick him on down the line

I used ta do a little but a little wouldn't do
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' ta get a little better
Said the little better than before
I used ta do a little but a little wouldn't do
So the little got more and more
I just keep tryin' ta get a little better
Said the little better than before

Chorus
Shoved it in the bindle and I shot it in the middle
And it, it drove outta my mind
I should've known better, said I wish I never met her Said I,
I leave it all behind Yowsa!

 

Sachant que Mr Brownstone n'est pas un personnage réel, que peut bien signifier cette chanson?

Pour savoir ce que vous écoutez...

Devant le nombre de personnes qui désirent trouver des explications concernant les chansons en anglais qu'elles écoutent, je vous propose de laisser en commentaire sur ce post les titres de chansons (avec les noms des artistes) que vous aimeriez que l'on vous explique. Ca aura au moins l'avantage de vous éviter de chanter des obscénités sans savoir que c'en sont (et ensuite soit vous vous abstiendrez, soit vous assumerez) ou alors de vous faire réfléchir à deux fois avant d'avouer que vous écoutez Atomic Kitten ou pire, the Pussycat Dolls. Je ferai ensuite une sélection de ces chansons (interdit de soumettre tout un album...), et avant de tout vous mâcher, je verrai ce que chacun a à en dire pour qu'ensemble on arrive à un résultat correct. Partants? Alors c'est parti...
