Riders in the Sky - Kay Starr перевод на немецкий

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 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

Geisterreiter am Himmel

Ein alter Cowboy ritt hinaus
an einem dunklen und windigen Tag.
Auf einem Bergrücken ruhte er sich aus,
während er seines Weges zog.
Als er plötzlich eine mächtige Herde
von rotäugigen Kühen sah,
die durch den zerklüfteten Himmel pflügten
und eine wolkige Schlucht hinauf.

Yippee-yi-ay, yippee-yi-o
Geisterreiter am Himmel

Ihre Brandzeichen standen noch in Flammen
und ihre Hufe waren aus Stahl,
ihre Hörner waren schwarz und glänzend
und ihren heißen Atem konnte er spüren.
Ein Schauer der Angst durchfuhr ihn,
als sie am Himmel donnerten.
Er sah die Reiter hart herankommen
und er hörte ihren klagenden Ruf.

Yippee-yi-yay, yippee-yi-o
Geisterreiter am Himmel

Als die Reiter an ihm vorbeigaloppierten,
hörte er einen seinen Namen rufen.
"Wenn du deine Seele vor der Hölle retten willst,
in der du auf unserer Weide reitest,
dann, mein Lieber, ändere deine Wege heute noch,
oder du wirst mit uns reiten
und versuchen, die Teufelsherde
über diesen endlosen Himmel zu fangen."
