| On the banks of the river stood Running Bear
| A orillas del río estaba Running Bear
|
| Young Indian brave
| joven indio valiente
|
| On the other side of the river stood his lovely Indian maid
| Al otro lado del río estaba su encantadora doncella india
|
| Little White Dove was her name
| Palomita Blanca era su nombre
|
| Such a lovely sight to see
| Una vista tan encantadora de ver
|
| But their tribes fought with each other
| Pero sus tribus lucharon entre sí
|
| So their love could never be
| Así que su amor nunca podría ser
|
| Running Bear, loved Little White Dove
| Oso corriendo, amada Palomita Blanca
|
| With a love as big as the sky
| Con un amor tan grande como el cielo
|
| Running Bear, loved Little White Dove
| Oso corriendo, amada Palomita Blanca
|
| With a love that wouldn’t die
| Con un amor que no moriría
|
| He couldn’t swim the ragging river
| No podía nadar en el río embravecido
|
| 'Cos the river was too wide
| Porque el río era demasiado ancho
|
| He couldn’t reach his Little White Dove
| No pudo alcanzar su Palomita Blanca
|
| Waiting on the other side
| Esperando en el otro lado
|
| In the moonlight he could see her
| A la luz de la luna podía verla
|
| Blowing kisses across the waves
| Lanzando besos a través de las olas
|
| Her little heart was beating faster
| Su pequeño corazón latía más rápido
|
| Waiting there for her brave
| Esperando allí por su valiente
|
| Running Bear, loved Little White Dove
| Oso corriendo, amada Palomita Blanca
|
| With a love as big as the sky
| Con un amor tan grande como el cielo
|
| Running Bear, loved Little White Dove
| Oso corriendo, amada Palomita Blanca
|
| With a love that wouldn’t die
| Con un amor que no moriría
|
| Running Bear dove in the water
| Oso corriendo paloma en el agua
|
| Little White Dove did the same
| La Palomita Blanca hizo lo mismo
|
| And they swam out to each other
| Y nadaron hacia el otro
|
| Through the swirling stream they came
| A través de la corriente arremolinada llegaron
|
| As their hands touched and their lips met
| Cuando sus manos se tocaron y sus labios se encontraron
|
| The ragging river pulled them down
| El río embravecido los tiró hacia abajo
|
| Now they’ll always be together in that happy hunting ground
| Ahora siempre estarán juntos en ese coto de caza feliz
