Translated lyrics
(Literal, not poetic) Desert, desert without end The cowboys' eyes survey it No juniper, no thistle, no tree Wind coming from the wilderness The cowboys' song rises and falls Over an empty, endless expanse The sun rises and sets And the song continues to flow Desert, desert without end Arisen over thousands of years The cowboy astride his Arabian [aboriginal horse] Over roads that breathe
