Explanation:
Izgleda da niste jedini u nedoumici. Prenosim samo jedno od mišljenja sa http://www.vocaboly.com/forums/ftopic429.html:
What are "colitas"?
It seems to translate as "little tips" or "buds" - presumably of the
marijuana plant (Cannabis sativa) - where the tetrahydrocannabinol is most concentrated.

This E-mail just in from Eagles management honcho Irving Azoff: \"In response to your [recent] memo, in 1976, during the writing of the song \'Hotel California\' by Messrs. Henley and Frey, the word `colitas\' was translated for them by their Mexican-American road manager as \'little buds.\' You have obviously already done the necessary extrapolation. Thank you for your inquiry.\"
