Montana Song Lyrics – David Ackles

Singer: David Ackles
Title: Montana Song

I went out to Montana
With a bible on my arm
Looking for my fathers
On a long-abandoned farm

And I found what I came looking for
I drove into a churchyard
Of what used to be the town;
Walked along a cowpath

Through the fences falling down
‘Til I found what I came looking for
Through the dust of summer noons
Over grass long dying

To read the stone and lumber runes
Where my past was lying
High among hillsides and windmill bones
Soft among oak trees and chimney stones

Blew the wind that I came looking for
And the wind blew over the dry land
And dusted my city soul clean
To read in my great-grandfather’s hand

Born Jamеs McKennon, 1862
Married Leantha, 1884
Two sons born in Montana
Praisе the Lord!

The gentle wind
Of passing time
Closed the bible pages
And took my hand

And had me climb
Closer to the ages
The picket fence, the lattice frame
The garden gone to seed

Leantha with the fragile name
Defying place and need
Declares this bit of prairie “tame,”
And sees her fingers bleed;

And knows her sons won’t live the same
But she must live her creed
The fallen barn, the broken plow
The hoofprint-hardened clay;

Where is the farmer, now
Who built his dream this way?
Who felled the tree and cut the bough
And made the land obey

Who taught his sons as he knew how
But could not make them stay
Who watched until the darkness fell
To know the boys were gone

And never loved the land so well
From that day on
“Father James,” they wrote him
Each a letter once a year;

Words of change that broke him
With the new age that was here
And the new world they’d gone looking for
The clouds arose

Like phantom herds
And by the dappled lighting
I read again
The last few words

March 1st, 1921
Last night, Papa died
Left one plow, a horse, his gun
This bible, and his bride

The long grass moved beside me
In the gentle summer rain
And made a path to guide me
To a sudden mound of grain

A man and wife are buried there
Children to the land
With young green tendrils in her hair
And seedlings in his hand

I went out to Montana
With a bible on my arm
Looking for my fathers
On a long-abandoned farm

And I found what i came looking for

Montana Song – Terjemahan / Translation

Saya pergi ke Montana
Dengan Alkitab di lenganku
Mencari ayahku
Di pertanian yang sudah lama ditinggalkan

Dan saya menemukan apa yang saya cari
Saya melaju ke halaman gereja
Dari apa yang dulunya adalah kota;
Berjalan di sepanjang sebuah cowpath

Melalui pagar jatuh
‘Sampai saya menemukan apa yang saya datang mencari
Melalui debu siang hari musim panas
Lebih dari rumput yang panjang sekarat

Untuk membaca batu dan rune kayu
Di mana masa lalu saya berbohong
Tinggi di antara lereng bukit dan tulang kincir angin
Lembut di antara pohon ek dan batu cerobong asap

Meniup angin yang saya cari
Dan angin bertiup di atas tanah kering
Dan membersihkan jiwa kota saya bersih
Untuk membaca di tangan kakek buyut saya

Lahir JamuDens McKennon, 1862
Menikah Leantha, 1884
Dua putra yang lahir di Montana
Puji Tuhan!

Angin lembut
Waktu berlalu
Tutup halaman Alkitab
Dan mengambil tanganku

Dan membuat saya memanjat
Lebih dekat ke zaman
Pagar piket, bingkai kisi
Taman pergi ke benih

Leantha dengan nama rapuh
Menentang tempat dan kebutuhan
Menyatakan sedikit padang rumput ini “jinak,”
Dan melihat jari-jarinya berdarah;

Dan tahu putra-putranya tidak akan hidup sama
Tapi dia harus menjalani kredo
Gudang yang jatuh, bajak yang rusak
Tanah liat yang mengeras hoofprint;

Di mana petani, sekarang
Siapa yang membangun mimpinya dengan cara ini?
Yang menebang pohon dan memotong dahan
Dan membuat tanah taat

Yang mengajar putra-putranya saat dia tahu caranya
Tetapi tidak bisa membuat mereka tetap
Yang menyaksikan sampai kegelapan jatuh
Untuk mengetahui anak-anak itu pergi

Dan tidak pernah mencintai tanah dengan sangat baik
Sejak hari itu
“Pastor James,” mereka menulisnya
Setiap surat setahun sekali;

Kata-kata perubahan yang menghancurkannya
Dengan zaman baru yang ada di sini
Dan dunia baru yang mereka cari
Awan muncul

Seperti kawanan Phantom
Dan oleh pencahayaan yang dicelupkan
Saya membaca lagi
Beberapa kata terakhir

1 Maret 1921
Tadi malam, Papa meninggal
Meninggalkan satu bajak, seekor kuda, senjatanya
Alkitab ini, dan pengantinnya

Rumput panjang bergerak di sampingku
Dalam hujan musim panas yang lembut
Dan membuat jalan untuk membimbing saya
Tiba-tiba gundukan biji-bijian

Seorang pria dan istri dimakamkan di sana
Anak-anak ke tanah
Dengan sulur hijau muda di rambutnya
Dan bibit di tangannya

Saya pergi ke Montana
Dengan Alkitab di lenganku
Mencari ayahku
Di pertanian yang sudah lama ditinggalkan

Dan saya menemukan apa yang saya cari
