Written by:Joe Babcock
While drivin' a herd of cattle out in old Nebraska way
在内布拉斯加州的老路上赶着一群牛
Headin' east at Broken Bow one hot September day
在炎热的九月一天在BrokenBow往东行驶
Tryin' to get to Omaha we hoped to find a buyer
想要去奥马哈我们希望能找到买家
We never counted in the odds of a western prairie fire
我们从未考虑过西部燎原的可能性
A hot south wind was blowin' and the air was gettin' dry
炎热的南风呼啸空气变得干燥
Somethin' far away was spellin' trouble in the sky
远处的某个地方在制造麻烦
Comin' closer was a sound that topped the devil's choir
靠近一点恶魔唱诗班的歌声响起
Then we knew we had to race a raging prairie fire
那时我们知道我们必须与熊熊的燎原之势赛跑
When all at once a flame is seen a lickin' at the sky
突然之间一团火光划破夜空
And every heart is quicker and there's fear in every eye
每一个人的心跳都越来越快每个人的眼中都充满恐惧
We'd just one chance to get away for there's no place to hide
我们只有一次逃跑的机会因为我们无处可藏
Gotta reach the river Platte one inch deep and one mile wide
必须到达一英寸深一英里宽的普拉特河
The herd is gettin' tired but we've got no time to rest
大家筋疲力尽可我们没时间休息
I try to clear the red dust that is gatherin' in my chest
我试着清理堆积在我心底的红色尘埃
From ridin' tail on a thousand head with the weather gettin' dry
因为天气越来越干燥我和一千个人在一起
The black cloud in the west is warning ride ride ride
西边的乌云在警告我
The roarin' heat is closer ashes fallin' by our side
熊熊烈焰渐渐逼近灰烬落在我们身边
And every breeze is burnin' singin' with its warnin' cry
每一丝微风都在引吭高歌
We've got to reach the river but it's still ten miles or more
我们必须到达河边但还有十英里或更远
And close behind us we can hear that wind infernal roar
就在我们身后我们可以听到那可怕的呼啸风声
But fate had other plans for we lost that fatal race
但命运另有安排我们输掉了那场致命的比赛
We lost for neither man nor beast could long keep up the pace
我们迷失了因为无论是人类还是野兽都无法长久跟上步伐
The mighty Platte subdued its rage but none were there to rest
强大的普拉特虽然平息了怒火但谁都无法平息
We did our best to get away but only I am left
我们拼尽全力逃之夭夭可只剩下我一个人
Now on the blackened prairie far as the eye can see
现在在漆黑的大草原上极目远眺
The grim remains are there to show that God rules you and me
残酷的遗迹表明上帝统治着你我
Just one he left to tell the tale just one was his desire
他只留下一个人来讲述这个故事他的愿望只有一个
We lost our herd and thirty men to a raging prairie fire
在一场熊熊的燎原大火中我们失去了牛群和三十个人
