| 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, such a lovely sight to see
| Little White Dove era su nombre, 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 Little White Dove, waiting on the other side
| No pudo llegar a Little White Dove, esperando al otro lado
|
| In the moonlight he could see her blowing 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 there for her brave
| Su pequeño corazón latía más rápido, esperando allí a su 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
|
| 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
|
| Runnin' Bear dove in the water, Little White Dove did the same
| Runnin' Bear dove en el 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 en la que 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 that happy hunting ground
| Ahora siempre estarán juntos en ese coto de caza feliz
|
| 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
|
| (With a love that couldn’t die) | (Con un amor que no podía morir) |
