Last night you told her, you could never hold her.
Tadi malam kamu bilang padanya, kamu takkan pernah bisa memegangnya.
'Cause a cowboy's just gotta be free.
Soalnya seorang koboi harus bebas.

Her heart was breakin', yours was achin',
Hatinya hancur, hatimu juga sakit,
But you saddled up to follow your dreams.
Tapi kamu tetap menyiapkan kuda untuk mengejar mimpimu.

Coffee on your campfire, wind through the barbed wire,
Kopi di api unggunmu, angin lewat kawat berduri,
You huddle close to the flames.
Kamu mendekat ke api yang hangat.

Though she's far behind you, the night wind reminds you.
Walaupun dia jauh di belakangmu, angin malam mengingatkanmu.
It just keeps on whisperin' her name.
Angin terus membisikkan namanya.

You can make a run for the border,
Kamu bisa lari ke perbatasan,
Try to hide up the hole in the wall.
Coba sembunyi di celah dinding.

But don't you know your arms are achin' to hold her.
Tapi kamu tahu kan, tanganmu ingin memeluknya.
And cowboy even though you're ridin' tall...
Dan koboi, meskipun kamu terlihat hebat...

Cowboy you're riding for a fall.
Koboi, kamu sedang berkendara menuju kejatuhan.

Midnight the moons up, hands around your tin cup.
Tengah malam, bulan bersinar, tanganmu memegang cangkir logam.
The frost settles in on the sage.
Embun membeku di atas sage.

The nights gettin' colder, well, man you're gettin' older.
Malam semakin dingin, wah, kamu semakin tua.
T'night you're feelin' you're age.
Malam ini kamu merasakan usia mu.

Well, why don't you turn back, just saddle up and backtrack.
Yah, kenapa kamu tidak balik saja, siapkan kuda dan kembali.
You know you'll never find a love quite like hers.
Kamu tahu, kamu takkan pernah menemukan cinta seperti dia.

And tell me, on a cold lonesome evenin', what the hell goods your freedom?
Dan katakan padaku, di malam dingin dan sepi, apa gunanya kebebasanmu?
Don't you think it's time you hung up your spurs?
Tidakkah kamu pikir sudah saatnya kamu menggantungkan sepatu lasimu?

You can make a run for the border, try to hide up the hole in the wall.
Kamu bisa lari ke perbatasan, coba sembunyi di celah dinding.
But don't you know your arms are achin' to hold her.
Tapi kamu tahu kan, tanganmu ingin memeluknya.
And cowboy even though you're ridin' tall...
Dan koboi, meskipun kamu terlihat hebat...

You're ridin' for a fall.
Kamu sedang berkendara menuju kejatuhan.
Cowboy, you're Riding For A Fall.
Koboi, kamu sedang Berkendara Menuju Kejatuhan.
