En descendant le fleuve argent
Qui roule jusqu'au Nevada,
On voit la plaine qui s'étend
à l'est de Santa Lucia.
Les villes s'appellent Natividad,
San Miguel ou San Lorenzo,
Les filles s'appellent Soledad,
Les garçons gardent les troupeaux.
C'est là que Jim a rencontré,
Sur une route, un soir de pluie,
Kathrin, la fille du fermier,
Et qu'ils s'aimèrent toute la nuit.
C'est là que Sam a son tombeau
Et que le vieil oncle Ed est mort.
Le chardon couvre le coteau
Et les cactus font le décor.
C'est là qu'Adam le sénateur
Est venu finir ses vieux jours,
Puis il est mort d'un coup au coeur;
On dit que c'est du mal d'amour.
Et les fleurs couchées par le vent
Semblent prier pour son repos.
La lune sème une larme d'argent
Sur la croix blanche du tombeau.
Adellina, la fille de ferme,
Sera là pour me recevoir,
Belle avec ses deux seins qui germent
Sous le drap de son corsage noir.
C'est là que je vivrai heureux
Au milieu de tous mes troupeaux.
La plaine s'étend jusqu'au Bon Dieu
Qui veillera sur mes vieux os.
