They came for him one winter's night.
Arrested, he was bound.
They said there'd been a robbery,
his pistol had been found.
Mereka datang untuknya pada suatu malam musim dingin.
Ditangkap, dia terikat.
Mereka bilang ada perampokan,
pistolnya telah ditemukan.
They marched him to the station house,
he waited for the dawn.
And as they led him to the dock,
he knew that he'd been wronged.
"You stand accused of robbery,"
he heard the bailiff say.
He knew without an alibi,
tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.
Mereka membawanya ke rumah stasiun,
Dia menunggu fajar.
Dan saat mereka membawanya ke dermaga,
dia tahu bahwa dia telah dianiaya.
"Kau berdiri dituduh melakukan perampokan,"
dia mendengar juru sita mengatakan.
Dia tahu tanpa alibi,
Cahaya besok akan meratapi kebebasannya.
Over the hills and far away,
for ten long years he'll count the days.
Over the mountains and the seas,
a prisoner's life for him there'll be.
Di atas perbukitan dan jauh,
Selama sepuluh tahun yang panjang dia akan menghitung hari.
Di atas gunung dan laut,
Kehidupan seorang tahanan baginya akan ada.
He knew that it would cost him dear,
but yet he dare not say.
Where he had been that fateful night,
a secret it must stay.
He had to fight back tears of rage.
His heart beat like a drum.
For with the wife of his best friend,
he spent his final night of freedom.
Dia tahu bahwa itu akan merugikan dia,
namun dia tidak berani mengatakannya.
Di situlah malam itu,
rahasia itu harus tetap
Dia harus menahan air mata kemarahan.
Jantungnya berdetak seperti drum.
Karena dengan istri sahabatnya,
Dia menghabiskan malam kebebasannya yang terakhir.
Over the hills and far away,
he swears he will return one day.
Far from the mountains and the seas,
back in her arms he swears he'll be.
Over the hills and far away.
Di atas perbukitan dan jauh,
Dia bersumpah akan kembali suatu hari nanti.
Jauh dari gunung dan laut,
Kembali ke pelukannya dia bersumpah dia akan berada.
Di atas bukit dan jauh.
Over the hills and,
over the hills and,
over the hills and far away.
Di atas bukit dan,
di atas bukit dan,
di atas bukit dan jauh sekali.
Each night within his prison cell,
he looks out through the bars.
He reads the letters that she wrote.
One day he'll know the taste of freedom.
Setiap malam di dalam sel penjara,
Dia melihat ke luar melalui jeruji besi.
Dia membaca surat-surat yang dia tulis.
Suatu hari nanti dia akan tahu selera kebebasan.
Over the hills and far away,
she prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
back in his arms he swears she'll be.
Di atas perbukitan dan jauh,
dia berdoa dia akan kembali suatu hari nanti.
Sekuat sungai mencapai laut,
Kembali ke pelukannya dia bersumpah dia akan berada.
Over the hills and far away,
he swears he will return one day.
