Les radios de la contrée
du vaste ciel
font tourner
la première position.
Le bonheur des filles
a le mouvement
de jupes au vent,
les garçons boivent
depuis la nuit des temps
leur première bière
à la porte de l'hôtel.

Un homme paisible
et sûr de son droit,
citant la bible,
impose sa loi.
Empty gunracks tonight
is the night of the kill.
Un vent âpre assèche son puits
et fait un désert
de son monde
familier et fini.

Une colère lente roule sans bruit
sur la Principale nord.
Le fusil brûle encore.
Personne
ne sait ce qui arrive,
si le sang rougit la terre
ou s'il s'en va aux archives.
Les radios de la contrée
du vaste ciel
font tourner
la première position.
