Half Breed

Half Breed
My father married a pure Cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me
The Indians said 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
Esta emotiva canción de Cher, titulada 'Half Breed', explora la dolorosa experiencia de crecer como un ser de dos culturas, que enfrenta la discriminación y el rechazo por no encajar en ninguno de los dos mundos...
