Half Breed (original)

My father married a pure Cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me
The Indians said that I was white by law
The white man always called me "Indian squaw"
Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, she's no good, they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
We never settled, went from town to town
When you're not welcome you don't hang around
The other children always laughed at me
"Give her a feather, she's a Cherokee"
Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, she's no good, they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
We weren't accepted and I felt ashamed
Nineteen I left them, tell me who's to blame
My life since then has been from man to man
But I can't run away from what I am
Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, she's no good, they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, she's no good, they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born

(traducción)

Mi padre se casó con un Cherokee puro
La gente de mi madre se avergonzaba de mí
Los indios decían que yo era blanco por ley
El hombre blanco siempre me llamó "squaw india"
Mestizo, eso es todo lo que he oído
Mestizo, como aprendí a odiar la palabra
Mestizo, ella no es buena, advirtieron
Ambos bandos estaban en mi contra desde el día que nací
Nunca nos instalamos, fuimos de pueblo en pueblo
Cuando no eres bienvenido, no te quedas
Los otros niños siempre se reían de mí.
"Dale una pluma, es una Cherokee"
Mestizo, eso es todo lo que he oído
Mestizo, como aprendí a odiar la palabra
Mestizo, ella no es buena, advirtieron
Ambos bandos estaban en mi contra desde el día que nací
No fuimos aceptados y me sentí avergonzado.
Diecinueve los dejé, dime quién tiene la culpa
Mi vida desde entonces ha sido de hombre a hombre
Pero no puedo huir de lo que soy
Mestizo, eso es todo lo que he oído
Mestizo, como aprendí a odiar la palabra
Mestizo, ella no es buena, advirtieron
Ambos bandos estaban en mi contra desde el día que nací
Mestizo, eso es todo lo que he oído
Mestizo, como aprendí a odiar la palabra
Mestizo, ella no es buena, advirtieron
Ambos bandos estaban en mi contra desde el día que nací
