Seorang koboi tua pergi berkendara pada suatu hari yang gelap dan berangin.
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
Di atas tebing, ia beristirahat sambil melanjutkan perjalanannya.
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw
Tiba-tiba ia melihat sekawanan besar sapi bermata merah.
A-plowing through the ragged sky and up the cloudy draw
Mereka melintasi langit yang berantakan dan menuju lembah yang berkabut.
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Merek mereka masih menyala dan kuku mereka terbuat dari baja.
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
Tanduk mereka hitam dan berkilau, dan ia bisa merasakan napas panas mereka.
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
Sebuah rasa takut menyelimuti dirinya saat mereka menggelegar di langit.
For he saw the Riders coming hard and he heard their mournful cry
Karena ia melihat para Penunggang datang dengan keras dan mendengar jeritan mereka yang menyedihkan.
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Yippie yi yaaaaay
Yippie yi yaaaaay
Ghost Riders in the sky
Penunggang Hantu di langit
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat
Wajah mereka pucat, mata mereka kabur, baju mereka basah kuyup oleh keringat.
He's riding hard to catch that herd, but he ain't caught 'em yet
Ia berkendara keras untuk mengejar kawanan itu, tapi belum berhasil menangkap mereka.
'Cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
Karena mereka harus berkendara selamanya di padang itu di langit.
On horses snorting fire
Di atas kuda yang menyemburkan api.
As they ride on hear their cry
Saat mereka berkendara, dengarkan jeritan mereka.
As the riders loped on by him he heard one call his name
Saat para penunggang melintas di sampingnya, ia mendengar salah satu dari mereka memanggil namanya.
If you want to save your soul from Hell a-riding on our range
Jika kau ingin menyelamatkan jiwamu dari Neraka saat berkendara di padang kami,
Then cowboy change your ways today or with us you will ride
Maka koboi, ubahlah cara hidupmu hari ini atau kau akan berkendara bersama kami.
Trying to catch the Devil's herd, across these endless skies
Mencoba mengejar kawanan Iblis, melintasi langit yang tak berujung ini.
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Yippie yi Ohhhhh
Yippie yi Yaaaaay
Yippie yi Yaaaaay
Ghost Riders in the sky
Penunggang Hantu di langit
Ghost Riders in the sky
Penunggang Hantu di langit
Ghost Riders in the sky
Penunggang Hantu di langit
