歌词
We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
我們來到了位於蒙特婁的日內瓦湖畔
To make records with a mobile
要在行動錄音車裡錄製新的專輯(譯註: 也就是Machine Head)
We didn't have much time
時間所剩不多
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
Frank Zappa 跟他的The Mothers of Invention樂團在附近最棒的地方錄製live專輯
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
但有個傻蛋拿著火焰槍, 將整個場地燒個精光
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
湖面上煙霧迷漫, 火光照亮著天空
They burned down the gambling house
整個賭場被燒的只剩灰燼
It died with an awful sound
發出恐怖的聲響
Funky Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
Montreux Jazz Festival的總監Funky Claude跑進跑出的救人
When it all was over
當事情告一段落之後
We had to find another place
我們得另外找個地方住
But Swiss time was running out
但在瑞士停留的時間已經不夠了
It seemed that we would lose the race
這樣我們會來不及完成專輯的錄製
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
湖面上煙霧迷漫, 火光照亮著天空
We ended up at the grand hotel
最後終於找到一間旅館
It was empty cold and bare
真是有夠簡陋又冷清的
But with the Rolling Stones truck thing just outside
不過有了向Rolling Stones樂團租用的行動錄音車在外面
Making our music there
就可以錄製專輯了
With a few red lights and a few old beds
操作著少許的設備, 睡個幾晚
We make a place to sweat
在錄音車上盡力的完成了專輯
No matter what we get out of this
不管最後專輯受不受歡迎
I know we'll never forget
我都不會忘記這件事的
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
湖面上煙霧迷漫, 火光照亮著天空
