On the bank of the river
Stood Running Bear (stand / stood / stood)
Young Indian brave
- la rive
- se tenait / l’Ours Qui Court
- un guerrier indien
On the other side of the river
Stood his lovely Indian maid
- jeune fille (maiden name = nom de jeune fille)
Little White Dove was her name
Such a lovely sight to see
-Colombe Blanche
- une si jolie vue (= personne)
But their tribes fought with each other
(fight / fought / fought)
So their love could never be
- leurs tribus se battaient
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love (as) big as the sky
Running 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 Little White Dove
Waiting on the other side
- la rivière déchainée
-because / trop large
- atteindre
In the moonlight he could see her
Throwing kisses'cross the waves (throw / threw / thrown) -envoyer des baisers par dessus les vagues
Her little heart was beating faster
- battait
Waiting there for her brave
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die
Running Bear dove in the water (dive / dove / dove)
Little White Dove did the same
And they swam out to each other (swim / swam / swam)
Through the swirling stream they came
- plongea
- fit la même chose / pareil
- ils nagèrent l’un vers l’autre
- à travers le ruisseau tourbillonnant
As their hands touched and their lips met
The raging river pulled them down
Now they'll always be together
In their happy hunting ground
- leurs lèvres se touchèrent
- déchainée / les tirèrent vers le bas
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love big as the sky
Running Bear loved Little White Dove
With a love that couldn't die
- dans le grand terrain de chasse (le paradis
indien)
