Re: Lyrics to "Hotel California"

Cool, thank you, anh Thanh. Fisrt time I have seen the full text of this
song. Sounds quite interesting. No reference to sex! Very different from
the Hungarian version, which contains lines such as

S elosor eltem at
amit o sem tanult
Igy lett tanum Hotel California...

(And that was the first time I lived thru
what she herself hadn't experienced,
and so became my witness Hotel California...)

S azon az ejszakan
a gyermek a felnotte valt...

(and that night
the kid became an adult...)

hehehe...quite bizzar translation.

I tried to find Hotel California in California (where else?), and found
only one in Palo Alto, near San Francisco. Actually, it was not a hotal,
but a motel. Did I miss something?

Hai.
