Ah, Arizona!
UDeveli wayefuna indawo emhlabeni
Hlunga ikhaya lasehlobo
Indawo yokuchitha iholide lakhe
Noma nini lapho efuna ukuhamba khona.
Ngakho wakhetha i-Arizona
Indawo ibuhlungu futhi ibuhlungu
Lapho isimo sezulu sasifisa ukuthanda kwakhe
Futhi ama-cowboys azinzima futhi anzima.
Womisa imifula emanzini
Futhi akazange ayala imvula ukuba iwa
Womisa amachibi ezigodini
Bese kubhaka futhi kushisa konke.
Khona-ke phezu kwezwe lakhe elingenalutho
Watshala izihlahla ezivela esihogweni.
I- cactus , i-thistle ne-peckly pear
Isimo sezulu sasifaneleka kahle.
Manje ikhaya laliyithanda kakhulu
Kodwa impilo yezilwane, wayengekho.
Ngakho wadala izidalwa ezinwabuzelayo
Ukuthi sonke isintu singakugwema.
Okokuqala wenza i- rattlesnake
Ngolunye ulimi olunobuthi olunobuthi.
Ufundise ukushaya futhi ukulinganisa
Futhi ukugwinya kumncane kangakanani.
Wabe esenza ama- scorpions kanye nezilonda
Futhi ugqoko olubi lwamahomoni aluhlaza.
Wabeka izinkanyezi kuzo zonke izincazelo
Ngaphansi kwamatshe eceleni komgwaqo.
Khona-ke wayala ukuba ilanga likhanye ,
Ukushisa nokushisa okwamanje.
Kuze kube ngisho ne-cactus ipholile
Futhi isilwane esidala samagundane sigula.
Wabe esebuka umbuso wakhe wasemhlabeni
Njengoba noma yimuphi umdali
Wathinta kancane kancane umkhonto wakhe
Futhi wavuma ukuthi kwakuhle.
Kwakuyihlobo manje futhi uSathane wayelele
Nge-pearly pearly ukuphumula.
Isikhukuthuku sagudluka esikhwameni sakhe se-swarthy
Ngakho wasusa ingubo yakhe nesitsha.
"NgeGolly," ekugcineni wathokoza,
"Ngenza umsebenzi wami kahle,
Ngiya emuva lapho ngivela khona,
I-Arizona iyashisa kuneGehena. "
