It was a cold night in Oklahoma
Saat itu malam yang dingin di Oklahoma
The show was about to begin
Pertunjukan akan segera dimulai
The animals they were all restless
Hewan-hewan itu semua gelisah
When the star horse she broke from her pen
Saat bintang kuda dia melepaskan diri dari penanya

She was a mare of high spirit
Dia adalah seekor kuda dengan semangat tinggi
Just like a whore on Saturday night
Sama seperti pelacur pada Sabtu malam
She’s kickin’ and buckin’ past the men who were brushin’
Dia kickin ‘dan buckin’ melewati orang-orang yang sikat ‘
The elephants lyin’ on their sides
Gajah-gajah itu melayang di sisi mereka
Next to the tent sat some lanterns
Di samping tenda itu ada beberapa lentera
They were dangerously close to the hay
Mereka sangat dekat dengan jerami
That mare headed straight for those lanterns
Kuda itu langsung menuju lentera itu
Some fool had put there by mistake
Beberapa orang bodoh telah menempatkan di sana karena kesalahan

Then up stepped some Indian Cowboy
Kemudian naik beberapa Cowboy India
His lasso went whirlin’ throught the air
Laso-nya terus berputar
In the full dead middle of danger
Di tengah buntu penuh bahaya
He roped that runaway mare
Dia mengikat kuda pelarian itu

Then the elephants raised up their trumpets
Kemudian gajah mengangkat sangkakala mereka
Two of them broke from their chains
Dua dari mereka keluar dari rantai mereka
Stampeded that Indian Cowboy
Capai Indian Cowboy itu
Who had saved the big top from flames
Siapa yang telah menyelamatkan bagian atas yang besar dari api
So if you ever go out to the circus
Jadi jika Anda pernah pergi ke sirkus
Where the Wallendas walk on the wire
Dimana Wallendas berjalan di atas kawat
You just remember that Indian Cowboy
Anda hanya ingat Indian Cowboy itu
When the white horses leap rings of fire
Saat kuda putih itu lonceng cincin api
