And when he turned to go
Dan saat dia berbalik untuk pergi
The beautiful maiden knelt down
Gadis cantik itu berlutut
Where her dead sweetheart lay
Dimana kekasihnya yang meninggal terbaring
And on his breast placed a rose
Dan di dadanya diletakkan mawar
While the townspeople stared in dismay
Sementara warga kota menatap dengan cemas
And old tougher than leather
Dan lebih tua dari pada kulit
Should've known better
Seharusnya sudah tahu lebih baik
But he picked up the rose in his hand
Tapi dia mengangkat mawar itu di tangannya
And the townspeople froze
Dan penduduk kota membeku
When his hands crushed the rose
Saat tangannya menumbuk bunga mawar
And the rose petals fell in the sand
Dan kelopak mawar jatuh di pasir

And old tougher than leather
Dan lebih tua dari pada kulit
Was a full-time go-getter
Apakah full-time go-getter
The grass never grew beneath his feet
Rerumputan tidak pernah tumbuh di bawah kakinya
From one town to another
Dari satu kota ke kota yang lain
He would ride like the wind
Dia akan naik seperti angin
But his mind kept going back to the street
Tapi pikirannya terus kembali ke jalan
Where a young cowboy died
Dimana koboi muda meninggal
And a young maiden cried
Dan seorang gadis muda menangis
And rose petals fell in the sand
Dan kelopak mawar jatuh di pasir
And his heart had been softened
Dan hatinya dilunakkan
By the beautiful maid
Oleh pembantu cantik
And he knew he must see her again
Dan dia tahu dia harus bertemu dengannya lagi

Well he went back to the town
Yah dia kembali ke kota
Where it all had come down
Dimana semuanya telah turun
And he searched but his search was in vain
Dan dia mencari tapi pencariannya sia-sia belaka
He had wanted to find her
Dia ingin menemukannya
And say he was sorry
Dan katakan dia menyesal
For causing her heart so much pain
Karena menyebabkan jantungnya sangat sakit
But one night he died from a poison inside
Tapi suatu malam dia meninggal karena racun di dalamnya
Brought on by the wrong he had done
Dibawa oleh kesalahan yang telah dia lakukan
And old tougher than leather
Dan lebih tua dari pada kulit
Had carved his last notch on his gun
Telah mengukir takik terakhirnya di senjatanya

Well he was burried in Cow Town
Nah dia dimakamkan di Kota Sapi
Along about sundown
Sepanjang tentang matahari terbenam
Lookin' good in his new store-bought clothes
Terlihat bagus dalam membeli pakaian barunya
When the young maiden came over
Saat gadis muda itu datang
And knelt down beside him
Dan berlutut di sampingnya
And on his lapel placed a rose
Dan di atas kerahnya ada sebuah mawar
There's a bird in the sky
Ada seekor burung di langit
Flying high, flying high
Terbang tinggi, terbang tinggi
To a place from a place
Ke suatu tempat dari suatu tempat
Changing skies, changing skies
Mengubah langit, mengubah langit
