Marrandil Songtext

von Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu

Dhuwala ?arranha, mulkana warwuyun, ?äthinana ?arra, Gu?ipunharayu
Miny'tji ?arraku gorru?alana, Garrumara Ba?garrari, Gala?garri Galathi
Ma?an ?arraku ?urryurrunana, Wu?punduganawirra Gumba?karra, mali-yol?uyinana
Nhenydja ?arraku gunbilk ?orrana, ?akuna marra-wu?wu?
Yäpinanydhu djarrawalwuyu

Yä ?arra dhuwala yä, yä yol?u Loli
Yä ?arra dhuwala yä, yä Galparra yol?u Gurrumul?a

Watayu ?arranha djirripu?ala, wa?ayu ?u?gurrmayu yiwarryu ?irrmalayu
Ga märi'mirrinydja ?arraku wä?a, Bangul?a Randulku?a Wu?utja?a Gimiyala

Yä ?arra dhuwala yä, yä yol?u Loli
Yä ?arra dhuwala yä, yä galparra yol?u Gurrumul?a

?irrpunydja ?arraku ro?iyinana, Beku?lili Galupayu dhärri?lili Maya?-?arakayu ?äthinana djotarra ma??a
Dela Daylulu Dhuwanydjika warguyurrunana

Yä ?arra dhuwala yä, yä yol?u Loli
Yä ?arra dhuwala yä, yä Galparra yol?u Gurrumul?a m.m

(english)
Here I am, grieving, I'm crying, because of this sunset
My colours across the afternoon sky, Garrumara Ba?garrari, Gala?garri Galathi
My clouds are rising, Wu?punduganawirra Gumba?karra, shapes like people
Reflections on the calm water for me, shimmering on the water
With this sunset

O.h I am, oh I am Loli (ancestors)
O.h I am Galparra, Gurrumul?a (ancestors)

The wind caresses me, the arms of the northern winds
An my grandmother country, Bangul?a Randulku?a Wu?utjana Gimiyala

O.h I am, oh I am Loli
O.h I am Galparra, Gurrumul?a

My mind has gone back, to Beku?, Galupayu, dhärrin and Maya?-?araka
Those two Gumatj women are crying
Dela Daylulu Dhuwanydjika grieving

O.h I am, oh I am Loli
O.h I am Galparra, Gurrumul?a
