When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only light we’ll see
No I won’t be afraid, no I won’t be afraid
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin’, darlin’, stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me

If the sky that we look upon
Should tumble and fall
And the mountains should crumble to the sea
I won’t cry, I won’t cry, no I won’t shed a tear
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin’, darlin’, stand by me, oh stand by me
Stand by me, stand by me, stand by me-e, yeah

Whenever you’re in trouble won’t you stand by me, oh now now stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Darlin’, darlin’, stand by me-e, stand by me
Oh stand by me, stand by me, stand by me

Stand by me és una canço de Ben E King adaptació d’un tema gospel de 1955. Ha estat interpretada i versionada per molts musics al llarg de tots aquests anys. Al youtube podeu trobar moltes d’aquestes versions, la versió original de Ben E King, la de John Lennon, potser la més famosa i també una versió on toquen junts U2 i Bruce Springsteen, the Boss, i també una versió amb dibuixos animats.

La cançó explica un fet real del 4 de desembre de 1971. Deep Purple va anar a gravar un disc a Montreux (Switzerland). Abans que ells gravava un altre grup de l’època (Frank Zappa and the Mothers of Invention). En aquesta gravació algú va llançar una bengala que va provocar un incendi. Ells estaven en un hotel proper a l’altra banda del llac Geneva i des d’allà van veure tot el que va passar (“Smoke on the water, fire in the sky). L’edifici va quedar totalment destruït i van tenir que esperar alguns dies a gravar. Això ho explica en el vídeo avans de començar a tocar el tema.

Aquí teniu també la lletra en anglès:

We all came out to montreux
On the lake geneva shoreline
To make records with a mobile
We didnt 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 well never forget
Smoke on the water, fire in the sky
