An old cowboy went ridin' out
Seorang koboi tua pergi menunggang keluar

On a dark and windy day,
Di hari yang gelap dan berangin,

Upon a ridge he rested as
Di atas tebing ia beristirahat saat

He went along his way,
Ia melanjutkan perjalanannya,

When all at once a mighty herd
Tiba-tiba ia melihat sekawanan besar

Of red-eyed cows he saw,
Sapi-sapi bermata merah,

Plowing through the ragged skies
Meluncur melalui langit yang berantakan

And up the cloudy draw.
Dan menuju lembah berkabut.


Their brands were still on fire and
Merek mereka masih menyala dan

Their hooves were made of steel,
Kuku mereka terbuat dari baja,

Their horns were black and shining and
Tanduk mereka hitam dan berkilau dan

Their hot breath he could feel,
Napas panas mereka bisa ia rasakan,

A bolt of fear went through him as
Sebuah rasa takut menyergapnya saat

They thundered through the sky,
Mereka menggelegar di langit,

For he saw the riders coming hard
Karena ia melihat para penunggang datang dengan cepat

And he heard their mournful cry:
Dan ia mendengar jeritan mereka yang menyedihkan:


Yippee-yi-yo, yippee-yi-ya,
Yippee-yi-yo, yippee-yi-ya,

Ghost riders in the sky
Pengendara hantu di langit


Their faces gaunt their eyes were blurred
Wajah mereka pucat dan mata mereka kabur

Their shirts all soaked with sweat,
Baju mereka semua basah oleh keringat,

They're riding hard to catch that herd
Mereka berusaha keras mengejar kawanan itu

But they ain't caught 'em yet,
Tapi mereka belum berhasil menangkapnya,

'cause they've got to ride forever on
Karena mereka harus terus menunggang selamanya

That range up in the sky,
Di padang yang tinggi di langit,

On horses snortin' fire
Di atas kuda yang mengeluarkan api

As they ride on hear their cry:
Saat mereka melanjutkan perjalanan, dengarkan jeritan mereka:


As the riders loped on by him
Saat para penunggang melintas di depannya

He heard one call his name,
Ia mendengar salah satu memanggil namanya,

If you want to save your soul from hell
Jika kau ingin menyelamatkan jiwamu dari neraka

Ridin' on our range,
Menunggang di padang kami,

Then cowboy change your ways today,
Maka koboi, ubahlah jalanmu hari ini,

Or with us you will ride
Atau kau akan menunggang bersama kami

Trying to catch the devil's herd
Mencoba menangkap kawanan iblis

Across these endless skies.
Di atas langit yang tak berujung ini.


Yippee-yi-yo, yippee-yi-ya,
Yippee-yi-yo, yippee-yi-ya,

Ghost riders in the sky
Pengendara hantu di langit
