| On the banks of the river stood Runnin' Bear, young Indian brave
| A orillas del río estaba Runnin' Bear, un 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-a her name, she’s such a lovely sight to see
| Little White Dove era su nombre, es un espectáculo tan encantador para ver
|
| But their tribes fought with each other so their love could never be
| Pero sus tribus lucharon entre sí para que su amor nunca pudiera ser
|
| Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love big as the sky
| Runnin' Bear amaba a Little White Dove con un amor tan grande como el cielo
|
| Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love that couldn’t die
| Runnin' Bear amaba a Little White Dove con un amor que no podía morir
|
| He couldn’t swim the raging river ‘cause the river was too wide
| No podía nadar en el río embravecido porque el río era demasiado ancho
|
| He couldn’t reach his Little White Dove, she was waiting on the other side
| No pudo alcanzar a su Palomita Blanca, ella estaba esperando al otro lado
|
| In the moonlight he could see her throwing kisses 'cross the waves
| A la luz de la luna, él podía verla lanzando besos a través de las olas.
|
| Her little heart was beating faster, waiting for her Indian brave
| Su corazoncito latía más rápido, esperando a su indio valiente
|
| Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love big as the sky
| Runnin' Bear amaba a Little White Dove con un amor tan grande como el cielo
|
| Yeah, Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love that couldn’t die
| Sí, Runnin' Bear amaba a Little White Dove con un amor que no podía morir
|
| Runnin' Bear jumped in the water, Little White Dove did the same
| Runnin' Bear saltó al agua, Little White Dove hizo lo mismo
|
| And they swam out to each other, through the swirling stream they came
| Y nadaron el uno hacia el otro, a través de la corriente arremolinada llegaron
|
| As their hands touched and their lips met, the ragin' river pulled them down
| Cuando sus manos se tocaron y sus labios se encontraron, el río embravecido los arrastró hacia abajo
|
| Now they’ll always be together in the happy hunting ground
| Ahora siempre estarán juntos en el coto de caza feliz
|
| Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove yeah with a love big as the sky
| Runnin' Bear amaba a Little White Dove, sí, con un amor tan grande como el cielo
|
| Well now, Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love that couldn’t die
| 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 now, Runnin' Bear loved Little White Dove with a love that couldn’t die | Oh ahora, Runnin' Bear amaba a Little White Dove con un amor que no podía morir |
