[Verse 1] Old Apache Squaw how many long lean years you saw? How many bitter winter nights Shivering in a cold teepee? Shivering in a cold teepee? [Verse 2] Old Apache Squaw how many hungry kids you saw? How many bloody warriors Running to the sea? Fleeing to the sea? [Chorus] Well now they tell me that you saw Cochise When he made his last stand He said "The next white man that sees my face Is going to be a dead white man" [Verse 3] Old Apache Squaw how many broken hearts you saw? Have you had misty eyes for years? Could that mist be tears? Could that mist be tears? [Chorus] Well now they tell me that you saw Cochise When he made his last stand He said "The next white man that sees my face Is going to be a dead white man" [Verse 4] Old Apache Squaw how many broken hearts you saw? Have you had misty eyes for years? Could that mist be tears? Could that mist be tears? Old Apache Squaw

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque la vie d'une vieille femme apache, qui a été témoin de nombreuses épreuves au fil des années. Elle décrit sa souffrance face aux rigueurs de la nature, aux combats et aux pertes subis par son peuple. Les souvenirs de guerres, de cœurs brisés et des longues nuits de froid viennent hanter ses pensées, tandis qu'elle semble pleurer la mémoire des siens. Le passage sur Cochise souligne l'importance de la résistance face à l'envahisseur, illustrant la lutte et le désespoir des peuples autochtones. Ce portrait poignant suggère une vie marquée par la douleur, mais également par la dignité et la résilience.
