LYRICS
Jandamarra Bunuba warrior, hero of the Kimberley
He fought for the rights of the Bunuba people, leading them to victory.
He learned to shoot from a galloping horse, Boss Lukin called him Pigeon.
But the station’s fences stopped his people hunting, fishing, living.
Jandamarra Bunuba warrior, hero of the Kimberley.
He fought for the rights of the Bunuba people, leading them to victory.
He charmed police with his cheeky grin and helped them catch his uncle.
But Ellamarra fixed his eye on him: “Remember who you are.”
Jandamarra Bunuba warrior, hero of the Kimberley.
He fought for the rights of the Bunuba people, leading them to victory.
Pigeon planned a mighty ambush at Windjana Gorge.
His flesh came off with a ricochet and into the cave he crawled away.
Jandamarra Bunuba warrior, hero of the Kimberley
He fought for the rights of the Bunuba people, leading them to victory.
He came out of the cave with his bullet wounds healed, as a man of magic power.
He could fly like a bird and disappear like a shadow or a ghost, and he had no fear.
Jandamarra Bunuba warrior, hero of the Kimberley
He fought for the rights of the Bunuba people, leading them to victory.
That mapurn man from the Pilbara helped the police to track him.
He was crying as he took aim. Jandamarra died in his own creation place.
Jandamarra Bunuba warrior, hero of the Kimberley
He fought for the rights of the Bunuba people, leading them to victory.
Right throughout the warrior’s life women were always there.
Mother, sisters, daughters, wives, helping him fight so the country could be theirs, again.
Jandamarra Bunuba warrior, hero of the Kimberley
He fought for the rights of the Bunuba people, leading them to victory.

LYRICS
Hello River, we’ve been driving a long way
Hello River, gonna catch a fish today
Got a net to get big mob
And we can swim in your brown water
Giliy lurru'ra nganthi yuwa
Jarrwadga-ma muoy yuwa
Thalya Thalya banda
Garawa lurru'ra, lurru'ra, lurru'ra.
If I’m bored or feeling bad
You calm down my head.
I just sit down and breathe
You will take away my stress
Ngarragi, warrijangi
Wanga ngangjangi
Ngarragi, birlirri, ringiri
Loorr, loorr, loorriri.
Loorr, loorr, loorriri.
The spring is like the heart
Pumping water to the creeks
It can heal all your sores
It’s cold and clear and very deep.
Nungu-jiliny monn jirluwala
Ngurra-man wanji inya
Ngajikurra pirlurr
Lirrulany, lirrulany, lirrulany, lirrulany.
(Instrumental Break)
Like the blood in my veins you bring life to our country
You’re gliding through the ground
And like your flowing waters my spirit flows free
Flow flow flow flow, flow flow flow flow.

LYRICS
Hey listen up – to the song about the river
Where we go when we want to get – get a barra
Cos here in the Valley, the river brings food
Fishing, hunting, swimming make a life that’s good.
When the wet season comes, the river runs fast
Nourishing the land so the animals will last
In the dry going hunting, gettin’ some roo
Cook ‘em in the fire. Yeah we’re full
But if the river stops flowing, this life stops too
All the barramundi, kakaji and kangaroo
No water no fish no feed
Respect the living water - Leave us what we need!
[Don’t stop the flow] Care for the martuwarra
[Don’t stop the flow] Like it cares for you
[Don’t stop the flow] And then you’ll be skutta (skutta)
[Don’t stop the flow] We love our river!
We like to relax under the shady trees
Just swimming and chillin in the cool of the breeze
Doing lots of backflips, swinging through the air
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Tell the serpent we’re here with our sweat on a stone
He’ll keep us safe and stop the wind from blowin’.
We listen to the song of the river flowing
Leave our troubles behind, feel our calmness growing.
But if the river stops flowing, this life stops too
All the barramundi, kakaji and kangaroo
No water no fish no feed
Respect the living water - Leave us what we need!
[Don’t stop the flow] Care for the martuwarra
[Don’t stop the flow] Like it cares for us all
[Don’t stop the flow] And then you’ll be skutta (skutta)
[Don’t stop the flow] We love our river!
Our connection to the river is a responsibility
Respect it and protect its biodiversity.
Our elders teach us all the laws that they know
The strength of our culture is connected to the flow.
So don’t dam the river, don’t mess up the flows
Nothing is wasted, every drop goes
To flushing out the system all the way to the sea
We all need to live with it in harmony.
[Don’t stop the flow] Care for the martuwarra
[Don’t stop the flow] Like it cares for us all
[Don’t stop the flow] And then you’ll be skutta (skutta)
[Don’t stop the flow] We love our river!

You Shine

LYRICS
When the sun goes down I see you shine,
And I see you shine in the light of the moon.
The moon goes down and the sun comes up
And then I will see you very soon.
In the night you’re very bright. In the daylight you’re quite shy.
I think you should face your fears and let your worries disappear.
You Shine too, you shine too, you shine too. [Like the brightest star in the Kimberley sky]
You Shine too, you shine too, you shine too. [You will shine your light, far and wide]
You Shine too, you shine too, you shine too. (And the fears you face to claim your place will not defeat you]
Shine with me and I will shine with you.
I know sometimes that you’re afraid of the light in the sky that makes you shine
Inside your head is dark and grey and you hid in the corners of your mind
But sometimes you’ve gotta be brave and take your place upon the stage.
I’ll be with you by your side, And everyone will see you shine.
You Shine too, you shine too, you shine too. [Like the brightest star in the Kiimberley sky]
You Shine too, you shine too, you shine too. [You will shine your light, far and wide]
You Shine too, you shine too, you shine too. (And the fears you face to claim your place will not defeat you]
Shine with me and I will shine with you.

LYRICS
Ngurrara people
Coming out of the desert
Climbing over jilji,
Passing by the jilas and jumus.
Travelling north way
Onto the station
Working for kartiya
But carrying the traditional ways.
They never knew they’d be gone so long
But they never forgot the way back home
They knew the track
To take them back
To their homeland Ngurrara country.
To their homeland Ngurrara country.
Ngurrara people
Split up in the desert
They didn’t know which decision was best for their people.
Some families went far away
Others stayed near the martuwarra
But one language, one wangki
Connected them over the distance.
They never knew they’d be gone so long
But they never forgot the way back home
They knew the track
To take them back
To their homeland Ngurrara country.
To their homeland Ngurrara country.
Ngurrara people
Came back to the desert
They wanted their children to know the land where they came from.
Now the door has been opened
And the families are growing
And the Ngurrara stories are told to the next generation.
They never knew they’d be gone so long
But they never forgot the way back home
They knew the track
To take them back
To their homeland Ngurrara country.
To their homeland Ngurrara country.

My Mobile Heart

LYRICS
I got you from the Telstra shop
You really made me smile
I felt like you completed me
You were the apple of my eye.
You’re the keeper of my memories
You help me find my way home
You’re my main connection to friends
Even when I’m alone
Even if reception’s not always easy
And lines are often busy
My mobile heart’s a
Pre-paid part of my life.
Some people say it’s an obsession
I guess it’s true, that’s my confession
My mobile heart’s a
Pre-paid part of my life.
There was the time I left you behind
In the seat pocket of a plane
Another time you slid face-down
Across the cobblestones of a lane.
I drain you of your power
I ask so much of you
I should try to do better ‘cause without you I’d be feelin’ blue.
Even if reception’s not always easy
And lines are often busy
My mobile heart’s a
Pre-paid part of my life.
Some people say it’s an obsession
I guess it’s true, that’s my confession
My mobile heart’s a
Pre-paid part of my life.
Every day of my life
Please Telstra please
Please Telstra please
Please Telstra keep my baby
Talkin’ to me.

LYRICS
In the world today, we love to throw stuff away
All straws and bags and plastic things
But turtles choke, it’s no joke
And Seagulls get stuck on the plastic rings
When you go fishing at the Fitzroy River
With your line and feed and blankets too
You cook up some meat, have something to eat
But don’t forget to take your rubbish home with you.
Cos this is the problem, it’s happening everywhere
People leave their rubbish and they Just. Don’t. Care
Our beautiful River should be flowing free
But if we don’t Stop The Rubbish in the future it won’t be.
Stop the rubbish
Chuck it in the bin
It’s bad for the environment
Don’t be lazy
Stop the rubbish
Pick it up, pick it up
Think about the future
Chuck it in the bin.
Don’t stop the flow
Pick up your rubbish
Don’t stop the flow
Chuck it in the bin
Don’t stop the flow
It's bad for the environment
Don’t stop the flow
STOP THE RUBBISH
Hunt the turkey, get kangaroo
Bullaman, kakaji, balga too
Bunuba, Walmajarri, Gooniyandi crew
Caring for our country like we know how to do.
We can spend less money on plastic things
And look to the land and all the food it brings.
Where do you think plastic’s going to go?
Cos it doesn’t break down, doesn’t decompose
And this is the problem, it’s happening everywhere
People leave their rubbish and they Just. Don’t. Care
Our beautiful River should be flowing free
But if we don’t Stop The Rubbish in the future it won’t be.
Stop the rubbish
Chuck it in the bin
It’s bad for the environment
Don’t be lazy
Stop the rubbish
Pick it up, pick it up
Think about the future
Chuck it in the bin.
Don’t stop the flow
Pick up your rubbish
Don’t stop the flow
Chuck it in the bin
Don’t stop the flow
It's bad for the environment
Don’t stop the flow
STOP THE RUBBISH
Think about your people, think about your land
Think about the future, how’s it gonna end?
