LYRICS: Smoke on the water

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

TRANSLATION: HUMO SOBRE EL AGUA

Todos salimos hacia Montreux
En el litoral de lago Geneva
Para grabar con un celular
No teníamos mucho tiempo
Frank Zappa y The Mothers
Estaban en el mejor lugar alrededor
Pero algún estúpido con una bengala
Quemó todo el lugar
Humo sobre el agua, fuego en el cielo

Se quemaron en el casino
Murió con un ruido tremendo
Funky Claude corría hacia adentro y hacia afuera
Sacando a los niños del sitio
Cuando terminó
Tuvimos que buscar otro lugar
Pero el tiempo en Suiza terminó
Parecía que perderíamos la carrera
Humo sobre el agua, fuego en el cielo

Terminamos en el Gran Hotel
Estaba frío y vacío
Pero con el camión de los Rolling Stones afuera
Hicimos nuestra música allí
Con algunas luces rojas y algunas viejas camas
Hicimos un lugar para sudar
No importa que hayamos salido de esto
Sé que nunca lo olvidaremos
Humo sobre el agua, fuego en el cielo

TRANSLATION: PALABRAS

Cómo puedo encontrar una manera
Para hacerte ver que te amo?
Las palabras no vienen fácilmente

Las palabras no me vienen fácilmente
Ésta es la única manera para mí de decir te amo
Las palabras no vienen fácilmente

Bien, yo sólo soy un hombre de la música
La melodía es hasta ahora mi mejor amiga
Pero mis palabras están salen aquivocadas
Entonces yo, yo te declaro mi corazón a ti y
Espero que creas que es cierto porque

Las palabras no me vienen fácilmente
¿Cómo puedo encontrar una manera
Para hacerte ver que te amo?

Las palabras no vienen fácilmente

Esta es sólo una simple canción
Que yo hice para ti por mi mismo
Sabes que no hay ninguna intención oculta
Cuando, cuando digo te amo, cariño
Por favor créelo, es así porque

Las palabras no me vienen fácilmente
¿Cómo puedo encontrar una manera
Para hacerte ver que te amo?
Las palabras no vienen fácilmente

No es fácil
Las palabras no vienen fácilmente
