Gurrumul History Songtext

von Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu

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

?arranydja dhuwala Batuma?
?arranydja dhuwala Djarrami
?arranydja dhuwala Dje?arra'
?arranydja dhuwala Gurrumul?a
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 Yol?u culture
I've been to New York
I've been to LA
I've been to London
?arranydja Gurrumul

United we stand, divided we fall
Together we'll stand, in solidarity

?arranydja dhuwala Barrupa
?arranydja dhuwala Dhuku?u?
?arranydja dhuwala Maralitja
?arranydja dhuwala ?unbu?unbu

Dhamutjpirr, Dhamu?ura
