They were from two warring tribes 他们分别来自两个敌对部落

So their love could never be 所以，他们的爱绝不可能

He was a painted Apache 他是一个画阿帕奇

And she was a Cherokee 她是一个切诺基

He was stealing her father's horses 他偷了她父亲的马

When he saw her standing there 当他看见她站在那里

Moon braided bits of silver 月亮编织银位

All through her long black hair 所有通过她的黑色长发

   

War paint and soft feathers 战痕和柔软的羽毛

Love was meant to be 爱情本来是

Even though he was Apache 尽管他的Apache

She was a blue-eyed Cherokee 她是个蓝眼睛的切诺基

War paint and soft feathers 战痕和柔软的羽毛

Under the pale moon light 在苍白的月光

Doing what tribal laws forbid 做什么部落的法律禁止

As drums brought the silence of the night 随着鼓声带来了夜的寂静

   

His strong arms circled round her waist 他强壮的手臂圈搂住她的腰

His headband touched her brow 他头带摸了摸她的额头

They were of two different tongues 他们是两个不同的方言

But their lips met anyhow 但是，他们的嘴唇无论如何会面

Next to a small oak tree 旁边的小橡树

Crossed spears forbid their love 交叉的矛禁止他们的爱情

There'd been no peace between their tribes 有好多是他们部落之间没有和平

Long as eagles soar above 只要鹰翱翔

   

War paint and soft feathers 战痕和柔软的羽毛

Love was meant to be 爱情本来是

Even though he was Apache 尽管他的Apache

She was a blue-eyed Cherokee 她是个蓝眼睛的切诺基

War paint and soft feathers 战痕和柔软的羽毛

Under the pale moon light 在苍白的月光

Doing what tribal laws forbid 做什么部落的法律禁止

As drums brought the silence of the night 随着鼓声带来了夜的寂静

   

Now the leaves have fallen to the ground 现在的叶子已经下降到地面

Over and over again 一遍又一遍

From the small oak tree grown taller 由小橡树长高

Where once crossed spears had been 即一旦越过长矛已经

A young man rides his pinto horse 一名年轻男子骑着他的马平

And he stands there tall and free 他站在那里又高又免费

The son of a wild Apache 野生阿帕奇的儿子

And a blue-eyed Cherokee 和一个蓝眼睛的切诺基

   

War paint and soft feathers 战痕和柔软的羽毛

Love was meant to be 爱情本来是
