The Eagles released this classic rock song in 1976. The song lends itself well to a Spanish beat as done by the Gypsy Kings in 1998 for the Big Lebowski. This work is akin to that version.

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 place)
Such a lovely place
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's 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 nineteensixtynine"
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 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 programmed to recieve
You can check out
any time you like
but you can never leave

Welcome
to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
(such a lovely place)
Such a lovely place
Plenty of room
at the Hotel California
Any time of year
(any time of year)
You can find it here

Welcome
to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place
(such a lovely place)
Such a lovely place
Plenty of room
at the Hotel California
Any time of year
(any time of year)
You can find it here
