Smoke on The Water

http://www.pesenki.ru/authors/deep-purple/smoke-on-the-water-lyrics.shtml

We all came out to Montreux
On the Lake Geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didn't have much time
Frank Zappa and the Mothers
Were at the best place around
But some stupid with a flare gun
Burned the place to the ground
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky

They burned down the gambling house
It died with an awful sound
Funky & Claude was running in and out
Pulling kids out the ground
When it all was over
We had to find another place
But Swiss time was running out
It seemed that we would lose the race
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky

We ended up at the Grand Hotel
It was empty cold and bare
But with the Rolling truck Stones thing just outside
Making our music there
With a few red lights and a few old beds
We make a place to sweat
No matter what we get out of this
I know we'll never forget
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky

Дым над водой
Перевод Артема Базеева

В Монтре приехав утром,
Чтоб времени не тратить зря,
Решили записать пластинку,
Музыку страстно любя.
В маленькой студии, лучшей,
Все было готово давно,
Но вдруг глупец с ракетой,
Дотла все сжег как в кино.
Дым над водой и пламя в небесах.

Все звучно полыхало,
Игорный дом «погиб» в огне.
Хозяева студии быстро,
Метались в горящей стене.
Когда уже все свершилось,
И все сгорело дотла,
Другое пришлось искать место,
Но времени жизнь не дала
Дым над водой и пламя в небесах.

Осели мы в Гранд Отеле,
Он был холоден, беден и пуст,
Но «Роллинги» очень любезно,
Победы открыли нам вкус.
Неважно, что получилось,
Важно лишь только одно
Что мы никогда не забудем,
Тот выстрел, словно в кино.
Дым над водой и пламя в небесах.

Child in Time (lyrics)
http://megalyrics.ru/lyric/deep-purple/child-in-time.htm

Sweet child in time you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between the good and the bad
See the blind man shooting at the world
Bullets flying taking toll
If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have
And you've been hit by flying lead
You'd better close your eyes and bow your head
And wait for the ricochet

Deep Purple
Don't Make Me Happy (lyrics)
http://megalyrics.ru/lyric/deep-purple/don-t-make-me-happy.htm

You stare into the room, nothing there but space
No sign of any message gone without a trace
But I don't want your pity, if that's what you think
I'll take my comfort from this hole I'm sinking in
Waste my time, drink my wine, take my money
That's alright, I don't mind but don't try to be funny

Don't make me good
Don't make me mad
Don't make me fly
Don't make me happy

It's nice here in this room, you would like it, yes you would
It's got a bed, two chairs and a table, I'd leave here if I could
There's a man standing up who's down on his knees
Outside the cold wind sends a shiver through the trees
On the line, left behind, under pressure
It's so bad, leave me be, I don't want to get better

Don't make me good
Don't make me mad
Don't make me fly
Don't make me happy

I don't care what you think but think about this
It could have been somebody else, beware of what you wish
Now the door is closed, locked and sealed
And now you think you know how rejection feels
Waste my time, drink my wine, take my money
That's alright, I don't mind but don't try to be funny

Don't make me good
Don't make me mad
Don't make me fly
Don't make me happy

Pictures of Home — Deep Purple
(lyrics)
http://music-facts.ru/song/Deep_Purple/Pictures_of_Home/
За основу риффа этой песни Ричи Блекмор взял мелодию из рекламы, которую он услышал по какому-то коротковолновому болгарскому радио.
Somebody's shouting
Up at a mountain
Only my own words return
Nobody's up there
It's a deception

I'm alone here
With emptiness eagles and snow
Unfriendliness chilling my body
And whispering pictures of home

Wondering blindly
How can they found me
Maybe they don't even know
My body is shaking
Anticipating
The call of the black hooded crow

I'm ...

Here in this prison
Of my own making
Year after day I have grown

В начале 2008 года «Газпром» пригласил Deep Purple выступить на специальном концерте, посвящённом 15-летию компании — в качестве благодарности Дмитрию Медведеву, давнему поклоннику коллектива (имеющему в своей личной коллекции все его альбомы), который в то время занимал пост председателя совета директоров. Концерт состоялся 11 февраля 2008 года в КДС: группа исполнила 7 песен и была тепло принята 6 тысячами зрителей, что явилось свидетельством (по выражению лондонской «Таймс») «демонстрации редкой в наши дни гармонии в англо-российских отношениях».

Black Night (lyrics)
http://megalyrics.ru/lyric/deep-purple/black-night.htm

Black night is not right,
I don't feel so bright,
I don't care to sit tight.
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
that I'm free, free to be me.
Black night is a long way from home.
I don't need a dark tree,
I don't want a rough sea,
I can't feel, I can't see.
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
that I'm free, free to be me.
Black night is a long way from home.

Black night, black night,
I don't need black night,
I can't see dark night.
Maybe I'll find on the way down the line
that I'm free, free to be me.

Woman From Tokyo (lyrics)

Fly into the rising sun,
Faces, smiling everyone
Yeah, she is a whole new tradition
I feel it in my heart
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me
Talk about her like a Queen
Dancing in a Eastern Dream
Yeah, she makes me feel like a river
That carries me away
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me
But I'm at home and I just don't belong ...
So far away from the garden we love
She is what moves in the soul of a dove
Soon I shall see just how black was my night
When we're alone in Her City of light
Rising from the neon gloom
Shining like a crazy moon
Yeah, she turns me on like a fire
I get high
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
She's so good to me

Bird Has Flown
(lyrics)
http://megalyrics.ru/lyric/deep-purple/bird-has-flown.htm
Oh the beggar on his cornerstone
Catches pity in his wrinkled hand
But the lover whose bird has flown
Catches nothing only grains of sand

All the children in the distant house
They have feelings only children know
But the lover whose bird has flown
Catches nothing only flakes of snow

The sensation is not new to you
It's something we all have known
You get it - it goes right through you
Yes it's something we all have known

And the bird it has flown
To a place on it's own
Somewhere all alone

Now the hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep him company
But the lover whose bird has flown
He has heartaches same as you and me

The sensation's not new to you
It's something we all have known
You get it - it goes right through you
Yes it's something we all have known

And the bird it has flown

Now the hermit in his lonely cave
Has himself to keep him company
But the lover whose bird has flown
He has heartaches same as you and me

Oh it's started snowing

Deep Purple
Blind (lyrics)
http://megalyrics.ru/lyric/deep-purple/blind.htm

I see reflections in the water
Autumn colours, summer's daughter
And as as the year is growing older
I see winter on my shoulder
I stand in the haze
Watching stormy ripples grow on my own
Never knew your needed
Till I found myself standing here alone

And in the water, such a sad face
Slowly drowning, such a sad face
If only I could change the seasons
Like a poet, I've my reasons
It started to snow in the middle of July
Wonder why
Never did understand you
My sorrow is hanging in the grey sky

In the summer days we flew to the sun
On melting wings
But the seasons changed to fast
Leave us all behind
Blind

But then the stone fell on the water
Putting end to summer's daughter
And me, I turn away remembering
All the seasons, such a sad thing
It started to rain in the middle of the sun
Winter's begun

Never did understand you
My sorrow is hanging in the grey sky

In the summer days we flew to the sun
On melting wings
But the seasons changed to fast
Leave us all behind
Blind

Deep Purple
Chasing Shadows (lyrics)
http://megalyrics.ru/lyric/deep-purple/chasing-shadows.htm

Chasing shadows, over my walls
with myself hardly sleeping
Dwarfs and giants, twenty feet tall
fill the room with their creeping

Sounds of breathing sharpen my ears
then they fade into nothing
Someone's laughter out in the street
fills the night with their loving

I feel the ice in my head
Running its hands through my bed
Not even dreaming I seem to be dead
Colours of yellow and colours of red

All I'm asking some secret voice
is to lead me to darkness

Jon forgot the two last lines:

I'm so tired, dawn never comes
I just hide in the shadows

Bananas (lyrics)
Gillan/Glover/Paice/Morse/Airey
http://megalyrics.ru/lyric/deep-purple/bananas.htm

I've got nothing to say today
I used my words up yesterday

I'm just lying here in the sun
Watching you guys having fun

Seven days and seven nights
Working till you got it right

Don't help me I'll help myself
I'll pull some crackers off the shelf

She had her hair done yesterday
Now she's coming out to play

First you pull and then you push
Two in the hand and one in the bush

Oh, my love is
So excited
When I say we've
Been invited
Now we're going
To the palace
Dressing up for
Tea with Alice

Some will rise and some will fall
Some will come to nothing at all

The strangest people have the power
To lead me to my darkest hour

How can you be sure it's me
When it's payment on delivery

Oh, my love is
So excited
When I say we've
Been invited
Now we're going
To the palace
Dressing up for
Tea with Alice
Now my love is
Richer than rich
'Cause I studied
Mathematics
Graduated
Without honours
Everyone has
Gone Bananas

April (lyrics)
http://megalyrics.ru/lyric/deep-purple/april.htm#ixzz1ssMeR6pS

April is a cruel time
Even though the sun may shine
And world looks in the shade as it slowly comes away
Still falls the April rain
And the valley's filled with pain
And you can't tell me quite why
As i look up to the grey sky
Where it should be blue
Grey sky where I should see you
Ask why, why it should be so
I'll cry, say that I don't know

Maybe once in a while I'll forget and I'll smile
But then the feeling comes again of an April without end
Of an April lonely as they come
In the dark of my mind I can see all too fine
But there is nothing to be done when I just can't feel the sun
And the springtime's the season of the night

Grey sky where it should be blue
Grey sky where I should see you
Ask why, why it should be so
I'll cry, say that I don't know
I don't know

A Castle Full Of Rascals (lyrics)
http://lyrics-keeper.com/en/deep-purple/a-castle-full-of-rascals.html
Nothing here for me today
Garbaggio from the men in grey
Don't do this
You can't do that
What's the point
What's the matter, anyway
Fat cat's licking cream
Dirty business
hard and mean
Narrow eyes and hungry days
There's got to be
a better way

Something here about my face
Somehing make you think
I got time to waste
What you doing
standing here
Why don't you call
someone who cares
Fat cats all the same
Easy answers just a game
Another day nothing changes
There's got to be a better way

A glistening of questioners
Prepared the inquisition
While jackals in the shadows
manoeuvre for position

A fundament of righteous men
A barrow ideals
The carriage of misjustice
Crushes all beneath it's wheels
Conspiracies of silence
Within the temple walls
Graveyards full of promises
Tha no one can recall

A castle full of rascals
A fortress full of thieves
A parliament of silver tongues
That latter to deceive

Oh my darling Carolina
If you get the chance
to walk behind here
She's so clean
you see no splash
Just the Texas chainsaw massacre
Fat cat's got to go
I'm Rockin' and rollin'
from my headache to my toes
She's trying to set the world on fire
Up there in her Ivory tower
Deep Purple
Almost Human (lyrics)
http://lyrics-keeper.com/en/deep-purple/almost-human.html
I know you're the only one who understands
Afore ye go, before you leave
You always shake my hand
Even when I'm crazy, on fire and naked
Just as Nature intended
No style but easily blended

You always know where I'll be found
Hanging somewhere near the ground
Help me up or help me down

Don't want to lose those days
When everything is just a haze
I'm dreaming

I believe I could walk before I learned to crawl
When I look up, the Devil's looking back
From the mirror on the wall
You can open the door
Got my feet stuck to the floor
I may have lost my way
But I didn't get where I am today

Don't want to lose those days
When everything is just a haze
I'm dreaming

You spin into my empty room
And once again I'm almost human
Almost human

A Touch Away (lyrics)
http://lyrics-keeper.com/en/deep-purple/a-touch-away.html
Mother nature's been good to me
That's why I'm sittin in this cherry tree
But it's alright, it's alright
It's not so bad
I'm just a touch away

The shady lady
from shady lane
is lying in my bed again
and it's alright
it feels good
It's not so bad
When she's just a touch away

Nothing much
is all I ask
and it's alright, ok yes
Light as a feather, oh yes

Like a rosebud
when the sun is high
She opens up
before my eyes
and the light falls
on her wet skin
It's alright
I'm just a touch away

Nothing much
is all I know
and it's alright, oh yes
Light as a feather,
and just a touch away

Put a finger to her lips again
She cries with pleasure
cries with pain
and it's alright
It feels good
It's not so bad
We're just a touch away

Nothing much
is all I know
Not too fast
Not too slow
and it's alright
Soft as a feather
and just a touch away
Deep Purple
Anthem (lyrics)
http://lyrics-keeper.com/en/deep-purple/anthem.html
When the night wind softly blows through my open window
Then I start to remember the girl that brought me joy
Now the night wind softly blows sadness to tomorrow
Bringing tears to eyes so tired
Eyes I thought could cry no more

If the day would only come
Then you might just appear
even though you'd soon be gone
When I reached out my hand

If I could see you
If only I could see you
To see if you are laughing or crying
When the night winds softly blow

In my dark and whispering room
Memories still bring me a numbness to my feelings
Take my hand and brush my brow
In the warm and fevered dark
Heart is madly beating
My crazy thoughts are burning
When the night winds softly blow

If the day would only come
Then you might just appear
even though you'd soon be gone
When I reached out my hand

If I could see you
If only I could see you
To see if you are laughing or crying
When the night winds softly blow

If the day would only come
Then you might just appear
even though you'd soon be gone
When I reached out my hand

If I could see you
If only I could see you
To see if you are laughing or crying
When the night winds softly blow

Hush (lyrics)
http://megalyrics.ru/lyric/deep-purple/hush.htm
I got a certain little girl she's on my mind
No doubt about it she looks so fine
She's the best girl that I ever had
Sometimes she's gonna make me feel so bad

Hush, hush
I thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and I'm not to blame now

(Love, love)
They got it early in the morning
(Love, love)
They got it late in the evening
(Love, love)
Well, I want that, need it
(Love, love)
Oh, I gotta gotta have it

She's got loving like quicksand
Only took one touch of her hand
To blow my mind and I'm in so deep
That I can't eat and I can't sleep

Listen
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
She broke my heart but I love her just the same now
Hush, hush
Thought I heard her calling my name now
Hush, hush
I need her loving and I'm not to blame now

(Love, love)
They got it early in the morning
(Love, love)
They got it late in the evening
(Love, love)
Well, I want that, need it
(Love, love)
Oh, I gotta gotta have it

Soldier of Fortune
http://www.amalgama-lab.com/songs/d/deep_purple/soldier_of_fortune.html
I have often told you stories
About the way
I lived the life of a drifter
Waiting for the day
When I'd take your hand and sing you songs
Then maybe you would say
Come lay with me love me
And I would surely stay

But I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune

Many times I've been a traveller
I looked for something new
In days of old when nights were cold
I wandered without you
But those days I thougt my eyes
Had seen you standing near
Though blindness is confusing
It shows that you're not here

Now I feel I'm growing older
And the songs that I have sung
Echo in the distance
Like the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune
Yes, I can hear the sound
Of a windmill goin' 'round
I guess I'll always be
A soldier of fortune

Перевод Базеева Артема
Солдат удачи
Дорог и тайн
Тебе открыл немало.
В сомнении ожидая час,
Бродягой жил,
Все спеть тебе желая.
А ты сказала:
«Милый, этот миг для нас»

Ведь знаю я,
Года мои уходят,
И песни, что я пел,
Уже не те.
Звук мельницы разлук
Ко мне приходит.
Солдат удачи я,
И дни не те.

Мне не хватает новых ощущений.
Объехал я в их поисках
Весь свет.
Скитания, морозы и метели,
Мне принесли события тех лет.
Но я могу мираж заметить сразу,
Он не восполнил
Тех былых побед.

Ведь знаю я,
Года мои уходят.
И песни, что я пел,
Уже не те.
Звук мельницы разлук
Ко мне приходит.
Солдат удачи я,
И дни не те.

When A Blind Man Cries

http://b-track.ru/song/649/
If you're leaving close the door
I'm not expecting people anymore.
Hear me grieving, I'm lying on the floor
Whether I'm drunk or dead I really ain't too sure.

I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man
And my world is pale.
When a blind man cries,
Lord, you know there ain't no sadder tale.

Had a friend once in a room,
Had a good time but it ended much too soon.
In a cold month in that room
We found a reason for the things we had to do.

I'm a blind man, I'm a blind man
Now my room is cold.
When a blind man cries
Lord, you know he feels it from his soul.

Когда слепой плачет

Дверь закрой, если уходишь прочь -
Я больше никого не жду, тьма и ночь.
Плачу, вою - звук пустой, на полу лежу,
Пьяный или мертвый, точно не скажу.

Я слепой, я слепой,
Мой мир сплошная боль.
Когда плачет слепой,
Ты знаешь, Боже, какая это скорбь

Друзья однажды ушли,
Хорошие времена быстро прошли.
Холодной зимой мы смогли
Безжалостно разрушить грезы свои.

Я слепой, я слепой
Холоден дом мой
Когда слепой плачет
Ты знаешь, Боже, что это значит.

The Gypsy
http://megalyrics.ru/lyric/deep-purple/the-gypsy.htm
(Blackmore/Coverdale/Hughes/Lord/Paice)
Tell me gypsy can you see me
In your crystal ball
I'm asking you what can I do
My back's against the wall
And I can't hold on much longer
So I've come to you my friend
For now my life seems at an end

I came to see you once before
One hundred years ago
You took my hand and broke the spell
That should have let me go
But my years have gone so slowly
So I'm here again my friend
For now my life is at an end

Скажи мне, цыганка, ты видишь меня
В своем кристальном шаре?
Я спрашиваю, что мне делать?
Я снова прижат к стене.
Больше я так не могу,
Поэтому я пришел к тебе.
Кажется, что сейчас моя жизнь подошла к концу

Однажды я уже приходил к тебе
Лет сто назад.
Ты взяла мою руку и сняла заклинание,
Это должно было освободить меня.
Но годы прошли так медленно,
Поэтому я вновь пришел к тебе…
Кажется, что сейчас моя жизнь подошла к концу

The history of the song "Smoke On The Water"

The song describes real events. In December, 1971 the group gathered together in a small Swiss town Montreux to record a new album at the mobile studio rented at Rolling Stones and known as Rolling Stones Mobile.
Before Deep Purple started recording the album one of spectators (it was possible to find him) shot from a flare gun ("some stupid with a flare gun"). The theatre was covered with flame.
Deep Purple desided to find another place to live and give concerts. It was the Grand Hotel, empty, cold and bare. The musicians couldn't forget smoke on the water the world received a remarkable song.
