Journey from Waralungku by Arrkula Yinbayarra

Travelling across the land
With my family in my hands

Travelling across the land
With my family in my hands
Hunting along the way
Our Elders lead the way

The land is giving to us
All that we need
Sharing together
In perfect harmony

Before welfare came and took our children away

Chorus
Warbula ngarbaryar muku jilajbayarli
Long time ago, the white man came
Jarimbaryarli wawarra muku junu ngambarlangi
They took our children away somewhere
Warbula ngarbaryar muku jilajbayarli
Long time ago, the white man came
Jarimbaryarli wawarra muku junu ngambarlangi
They took our children away somewhere

Protecting our sacred land
As she shares her heart with us
She’s crying for the future
Be connected with us
Garrwa, Yanyuwa, Marra, Gudanji

Then the welfare came took our children away

Chorus
