Half Breed - Blue Swede, Björn Skifs

My father married a pure Cherokee

My mother's people were ashamed of me

The Indians said that I was white by law

The white man always called me "Indian squaw"

Half-breed, that's all I ever heard

Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word

Half-breed, she's no good, they warned

Both sides were against me since the day I was born

We never settled, went from town to town

When you're not welcome you don't hang around

The other children always laughed at me

"Give her a feather, she's a Cherokee"

Half-breed, that's all I ever heard

Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word

Half-breed, she's no good, they warned

Both sides were against me since the day I was born

We weren't accepted and I felt ashamed

Nineteen I left them, tell me who's to blame

My life since then has been from man to man

But I can't run away from what I am

Half-breed, that's all I ever heard

Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word

Half-breed, she's no good, they warned

Both sides were against me since the day I was born

Half-breed, that's all I ever heard

Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word

Half-breed, she's no good, they warned

Both sides were against me since the day I was born

Mi padre se casó con un Cherokee puro

La gente de mi madre se avergonzaba de mí

Los indios decían que yo era blanco por ley

El hombre blanco siempre me llamó "squaw india"

Mestizo, eso es todo lo que he oído

Mestizo, como aprendí a odiar la palabra

Mestizo, ella no es buena, advirtieron

Ambos bandos estaban en mi contra desde el día que nací

Nunca nos instalamos, fuimos de pueblo en pueblo

Cuando no eres bienvenido, no te quedas

Los otros niños siempre se reían de mí.

"Dale una pluma, es una Cherokee"

Mestizo, eso es todo lo que he oído

Mestizo, como aprendí a odiar la palabra

Mestizo, ella no es buena, advirtieron

Ambos bandos estaban en mi contra desde el día que nací

No fuimos aceptados y me sentí avergonzado.

Diecinueve los dejé, dime quién tiene la culpa

Mi vida desde entonces ha sido de hombre a hombre

Pero no puedo huir de lo que soy

Mestizo, eso es todo lo que he oído

Mestizo, como aprendí a odiar la palabra

Mestizo, ella no es buena, advirtieron

Ambos bandos estaban en mi contra desde el día que nací

Mestizo, eso es todo lo que he oído

Mestizo, como aprendí a odiar la palabra

Mestizo, ella no es buena, advirtieron

Ambos bandos estaban en mi contra desde el día que nací
