Tjamu Ngurra (Grandfathers' Land)

As our grandfathers' sit us down to tell their stories of past experiences, we realise what has happened, that many thousands of years ago our ancestor’s were moved on. So as grandsons our future lies with us to take care of our "Grandfathers' Land"…

Lyrics

Ali-lu Tji-Tjiku Wangka-nyi,
Tjukurrpa Wiru Mularrpa
Tji-Tji-tjurta-ku Guling-tjaku Tjamu-nu
Wangka-nyi thu-puku wiru

When I was a little boy my Grandfather spoke to me
About ’Time stories, I can’t forget, you see
So when I grow up to be a man
I will take care for my Father’s land,

Ali-lu Tji-Tjiku Wangka-nyi,
Tjukurrpa Wiru Mularrpa
Tji-Tji-tjurta-ku Guling-tjaku Tjamu-nu
Wangka-nyi thu-puku wiru

When I was a little boy my Grandfather spoke to me
About ’Time stories, I can’t forget, you see
So when I grow up to be a man
I will take care for my Father’s land,
