On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
荒漠漆黑高速公路上 冷風吹亂了我的頭髮
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
空氣中飄來仙人掌溫暖的氣味
Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light
望向遠方 我看到閃爍的燈光
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
我的頭越來越昏沈,視線模糊
I had to stop for the night
我得停下來過夜
There she stood in the doorway;I heard the mission bell
她就站在門邊 我聽到了教堂的鐘聲
And I was thinking to myself,
我心裡想
'This could be Heaven or this could be Hell'
這兒可能是天堂也可能是地獄
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
然後她點燃蠟燭為我帶路
There were voices down the corridor,
走廊傳來許多聲音
I thought I heard them say...
我想它們是說---

And still those voices are calling from far away,
那些聲音依然從遠方傳來
Wake you up in the middle of the night Just to hear them say...
