Riders In The Sky (A Cowboy Legend)

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 ploughin′ through the ragged skies
And up a cloudy draw
Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o
Ghost Riders 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 went through him
As they thundered in the sky
He saw the riders comin' hard
And he heard their mournful cry
Yippee-yi-yay, yippee-yi-o
Ghost Riders in the sky
As the riders loped on by him
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-tryin′ to catch that devil's herd
Across these endless skies."
Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o
Ghost Riders in the sky
Yippee-yi-o, ki-yo, ki-yay, yippee-yi-yo, ki-yay
Yippee-yi-o, ki-yo, ki-yay, yippee-yi-yo, ki-yay
Yippee-yi-o, ki-yo, ki-yay, yippee-yi-yo, ki-yay
Yippee-yi-o, ki-yo, ki-yay, yippee-yi-yo, ki-yay
Yippee-yi-o, ki-yo, ki-yay, yippee-yi-yo, ki-yay

Les Cavaliers du Ciel (Une légende de Cowboy)

Un vieux cow-boy est parti à cheval
Un jour sombre et venteux
Sur une crête, il s'est reposé
En continuant son chemin
Quand soudain un immense troupeau
De vaches aux yeux rouges il a vu
Labourer le ciel déchiqueté
Et monter un nuage de poussière
Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o
Les Cavaliers Fantômes dans le ciel
Leurs marques étaient encore en feu
Et leurs sabots étaient en acier
Leurs cornes étaient noires et brillantes
Et leur souffle chaud, il pouvait le sentir
Un éclair de peur l'a traversé
Alors qu'ils tonnaient dans le ciel
Il a vu les cavaliers venir fort
Et il a entendu leur cri plaintif
Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o
Les Cavaliers Fantômes dans le ciel
Alors que les cavaliers passaient à côté de lui
Il a entendu l'un d'eux appeler son nom
« Si tu veux sauver ton âme de l'enfer
En chevauchant sur notre territoire
Alors cowboy change tes habitudes aujourd'hui
Ou avec nous, tu chevaucheras
En essayant d'attraper le troupeau du diable
À travers ces cieux sans fin. »
Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o
Les Cavaliers Fantômes dans le ciel
Yippee-yi-o, ki-yo, ki-yay, yippee-yi-yo, ki-yay

Yippee-yi-o, ki-yo, ki-yay, yippee-yi-yo, ki-yay
Yippee-yi-o, ki-yo, ki-yay, yippee-yi-yo, ki-yay
Yippee-yi-o, ki-yo, ki-yay, yippee-yi-yo, ki-yay
