An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day
Un cow-boy à cheval ancienne allée un jour sombre et venteux
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
Sur une crête, il se reposa comme il est allé sur son chemin
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
Quand tout à coup un troupeau immense de vaches rouges aux yeux, il a vu
A-plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw
Un plowin-'à travers le ciel en lambeaux et un tirage nuageux
Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo
Yippee-yi-ya, youpi-yi-yo
Ghost herd in the sky
Troupeau Ghost in the sky
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Leurs marques étaient encore en feu et leurs sabots étaient en acier
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
Leurs cornes sont d'un noir brillant et son souffle chaud, il pouvait sentir
A bolt of fear shot through him as he looked up in the sky
Un boulon de la peur a tiré à travers lui comme il leva les yeux au ciel
For he saw the riders comin' hard and he heard their mournful cry
Car il a vu les coureurs comin 'dur et il a entendu leur cri lugubre
Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo
Yippee-yi-ya, youpi-yi-yo
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost Riders in the sky
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat
Leurs visages décharnés, leurs yeux étaient flous, leurs chemises tout trempé de sueur
They're riding hard to catch that herd, but they ain't caught 'em yet
Ils roulent difficiles à attraper ce troupeau, mais ils ne sont pas pris 'em encore
'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
Parce qu'ils ont à rouler éternellement sur cette plage dans le ciel
On horses snortin' fire, as they ride on hear their cry
Le feu chevaux Snortin ', comme ils montent sur entend leur cri
Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo
Yippee-yi-ya, youpi-yi-yo
Ghost riders in the sky
Ghost Riders in the sky
The cowpokes loped on past him and he heard one call his name
Les cowboys loppé sur le passé de lui et il a entendu un appel de son nom
If you want to save your soul from hell a-riding on our range
Si vous voulez sauver votre âme de l'enfer d'un passager clandestin sur notre gamme
Then cowboy, change your ways today or with us you will ride
Ensuite, cow-boy, changer vos habitudes aujourd'hui ou avec nous, vous monterez
A-trying to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies
A-essayant d'attraper le troupeau du diable à travers ces interminables ciel
Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo
Yippee-yi-ya, youpi-yi-yo
