lyrics

Djurawalinyang by bulladiri gambi
djurawalinyang garululli

djurawalinyang djilinje
djurawalinyang djugulung marrumalga
wagamarre djibirnji
djurawalinyang garululli

Mannaguwan Gugul

nangari gudjagalali garrawangga bullawilla
we are ngabumurra, ngabu, googjagapa

Gugara kuragia.

Kookaburra Calls

We rise by dying embers
we rise allies

we rise star guided
we rise wood bowls in hand
searching for dew
we rise allies

Red Waratah (and) Bloodwood (tree)

sleeping babes (with) dreams returning
we are mother, grandmother and child

Kookaburra calls.
