Gurrumul history |
| I was born blind, and I don’t know why |
| God knows why, because he love me so |
| as I grew up, my spirit knew |
| then I learnt to read the world of destruction |
| united we stand, divided we fall |
| together we’ll stand, in solidarity |
| Ŋarranydja dhuwala Batumaŋ |
| ŋarranydja dhuwala Djarrami |
| ŋarranydja dhuwala Djeŋarra' |
| ŋarranydja dhuwala Gurrumulŋa |
| m.m |
| I heard my mama, and my papa |
| crying their hearts in confusion |
| how can I walk? |
| Straight and tall |
| in society please hold my hand |
| trying to bridge and build Yolŋu culture |
| I’ve been to New York |
| I’ve been to LA |
| I’ve been to London |
| ŋarranydja Gurrumul |
| United we stand, divided we fall |
| Together we’ll stand, in solidarity |
| Ŋarranydja dhuwala Barrupa |
| ŋarranydja dhuwala Dhukuḻuḻ |
| ŋarranydja dhuwala Maralitja |
| ŋarranydja dhuwala Ŋunbuŋunbu |
| Y.e, wo wäŋawu Garrapala |
| Dhamutjpirr, Dhamuŋura |
