CLÁSSICOS PARA A VIDA ETERNA

TAKE IT TO THE LIMIT (1977) EAGLES

Sérgio Luiz Gallina

All alone at the end of the of the evening

And the bright lights have faded to blue

I was thinking 'bout a woman who might have

Loved me and I never knew

You know I've always been a dreamer

Spent my life running 'round

And it's so hard to change

Can't seem to settle down

But the dreams I've seen lately

Keep on turning out and burning out

And turning out the same

So put me on a highway

And show me a sign

And take it to the limit one more time

You can spend all your time making money

You can spend all your love making time

If it all fell to pieces tomorrow

Would you still be mine?

And when you're looking for your freedom

Nobody seems to care

And you can't find the door

Can't find it anywhere

When there's nothing to believe in

Still you're coming back, you're running back

for more

So put me on a highway

So put me on a highway

And show me a sign

And take it to the limit one more time

Take it to the limit

Take it to the limit

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 Califórnia

Such a lovely place

Such a lovely place

Such a lovely face

Plenty of room at the Hotel Califórnia

Any time of year

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 Califórnia

Such a lovely place

Such a lovely place

Such a lovely face

We're livin' it up at the Hotel Califórnia

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

The 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 check out any time you like

But you can never leave!"
