Running Bear (original)

On the banks of the river stood Runnin' Bear, young Indian brave
On the other side of the river stood his lovely Indian maid
Little White Dove was-a her name, she’s such a lovely sight to see
But their tribes fought with each other so their love could never be
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love big as the sky
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love that couldn’t die
He couldn’t swim the raging river ‘cause the river was too wide
He couldn’t reach his Little White Dove, she was waiting on the other side
In the moonlight he could see her throwing kisses 'cross the waves
Her little heart was beating faster, waiting for her Indian brave
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love big as the sky
Yeah, Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love that couldn’t die
Runnin' Bear jumped in the water, Little White Dove did the same
And they swam out to each other, through the swirling stream they came
As their hands touched and their lips met, the ragin' river pulled them down
Now they’ll always be together in the happy hunting ground
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove yeah with a love big as the sky
Well now, Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love that couldn’t die
Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love big as the sky
Oh now, Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love that couldn’t die

(traducción)

A orillas del río estaba Runnin' Bear, un joven indio valiente
Al otro lado del río estaba su encantadora doncella india
Little White Dove era su nombre, es un espectáculo tan encantador para ver
Pero sus tribus lucharon entre sí para que su amor nunca pudiera ser
Runnin' Bear amaba a Little White Dove con un amor tan grande como el cielo
Runnin' Bear amaba a Little White Dove con un amor que no podía morir
No podía nadar en el río embravecido porque el río era demasiado ancho
No pudo alcanzar a su Palomita Blanca, ella estaba esperando al otro lado
A la luz de la luna, él podía verla lanzando besos a través de las olas.
Su corazoncito latía más rápido, esperando a su indio valiente
Runnin' Bear amaba a Little White Dove con un amor tan grande como el cielo
Sí, Runnin' Bear amaba a Little White Dove con un amor que no podía morir
Runnin' Bear saltó al agua, Little White Dove hizo lo mismo
Y nadaron el uno hacia el otro, a través de la corriente arremolinada llegaron
Cuando sus manos se tocaron y sus labios se encontraron, el río embravecido los arrastró hacia abajo
Ahora siempre estarán juntos en el coto de caza feliz
Runnin' Bear amaba a Little White Dove, sí, con un amor tan grande como el cielo
Bueno, ahora, Runnin' Bear amaba a Little White Dove con un amor que no podía morir
Runnin' Bear amaba a Little White Dove con un amor tan grande como el cielo
Oh ahora, Runnin' Bear amaba a Little White Dove con un amor que no podía morir
