Ghost Riders In The Sky
An old cowpoke went riding out one dark and windy day,
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way,
When all at once a mighty herd of red eyed cows he saw,
A-plowin' through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw.
Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo,
Ghost herd in the sky.
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel,
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel,
A bolt of fear shot through him as he looked up in the sky,
For he saw the riders comin' hard and he heard their mournful cry.
Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo,
Ghost riders in the sky.
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred, their shirts all soaked with sweat,
They're riding hard to catch that herd, but they ain't caught 'em yet,
'cause they've got to ride forever on that range up in the sky,
On horses snortin' fire, as they ride on hear their cry.
Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo,
Ghost riders in the sky.
The cowpokes loped on past him and he heard one call his name,
If you want to save your soul from hell a-riding on our range,
Then cowboy, change your ways today, or with us you will ride,
A-trying to catch the devil's herd across these endless skies.
Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo,
Ghost riders in the sky...
Jinetes Fantasmas en el Cielo
Un viejo vaquero salió a cabalgar en un día oscuro y ventoso,
En una cresta descansó mientras seguía su camino,
Cuando de repente vio una manada poderosa de vacas de ojos rojos,
Arando a través de los cielos desgarrados y subiendo por un barranco nublado.
¡Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo,
Manada fantasma en el cielo!
Sus marcas aún estaban en llamas y sus cascos eran de acero,
Sus cuernos eran negros y brillantes y podía sentir su aliento caliente,
Un rayo de miedo lo atravesó al mirar hacia arriba en el cielo,
Pues vio a los jinetes acercándose con fuerza y escuchó su llanto lastimero.
¡Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo,
Jinetes fantasmas en el cielo!
Sus rostros demacrados, sus ojos borrosos, sus camisas empapadas de sudor,
Cabalgan con fuerza para atrapar esa manada, pero aún no los han atrapado,
Porque tienen que cabalgar eternamente en ese rango en el cielo,
En caballos resoplando fuego, mientras cabalgan escuchan su llanto.
¡Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo,
Jinetes fantasmas en el cielo!
Los vaqueros pasaron trotando junto a él y escuchó a uno llamar su nombre,
Si quieres salvar tu alma del infierno cabalgando en nuestro rango,
Entonces vaquero, cambia tus formas hoy, o con nosotros cabalgarás,
Intentando atrapar la manada del diablo a través de estos cielos interminables.
¡Yippee-yi-ya, yippee-yi-yo,
Jinetes fantasmas en el cielo...
