Seorang koboi ole pergi mengusir satu hari yang gelap dan berangin
Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way
Di atas punggungan dia beristirahat saat dia melangkah pergi
When all at once a mighty herd of red-eyed steers he saw
Seketika seketika itu juga ada sekumpulan anjing bermata merah yang dilihatnya
A plowin’ through the ragged skies and up a cloudy draw
Membajak ‘melalui langit yang compang-camping dan menggambar dengan mendung
Their brands were still on fire and their hooves were made of steel
Merek mereka masih terbakar dan kuku mereka terbuat dari baja
Their horns were black and shiny and their hot breath he could feel
Tanduk mereka berwarna hitam dan mengilap dan napas panas yang bisa dirasakannya
A bolt of fear went through him as they thundered through the sky
Secercah ketakutan menembus dirinya saat mereka bergemuruh menembus langit
Saw the riders comin’ hard,
Melihat para pembalap comin ‘keras,
heard their mournful cry
mendengar tangisan mereka yang sedih
Yi-pee-yi-ay, Yi-pee-yi-oh
Yi-pee-yi-ay, Yi-pee-yi-oh
Ghost riders in
Pengendara hantu masuk
Ghost riders in the sky
Pengendara hantu di langit
Yi-pee-yi-ay (yi-pee-yi-ay) yi-pee-yi-oh (yi-pee-yi-oh)
Yi-pee-yi-ay (yi-pee-yi-ay) yi-pee-yi-oh (yi-pee-yi-oh)
Ghost riders in the sky
Pengendara hantu di langit
Their faces gaunt, their eyes were blurred and shirts all soaked with sweat
Wajah mereka kurus, mata mereka kabur dan kemeja semua basah oleh keringat
Their ridin’ hard to catch that herd, but they ain’t caught’em yet
Pengecatan mereka sulit untuk menangkap kawanan itu, tapi mereka belum tertangkap
For they got to ride forever on that range up in the sky
Karena mereka harus mengendarai mobil sepanjang rentang di langit
On horses snorting fire, as they ride on, hear their cry
Pada kuda mendengus api, saat mereka naik, mendengar teriakan mereka
Yi-pee-yi-ay, Yi-pee-yi-oh
Yi-pee-yi-ay, Yi-pee-yi-oh
Ghost riders in (Ghost riders in) the sky
Penunggang hantu masuk (pengendara hantu di) langit
Ghost riders in (in the) sky
Penunggang hantu di (dalam) langit
