luku*w*ngawuy manikay (1788) lyrics
my boys at the [?] the tale to relate
now balanda said we lost the land in 1788
it seems like in that year of grace
one captain phillip landed
in a place in the east called sydney cove
but they didn’t come empty handed
for they put up a flag and they said this land
now belongs to george iii
and if anybody wants to challange this then let his voice be heard

oh heaven i told you often my boy
that the land was all created
by [?] and by [?] and then it was populated
by the yirritja
and the dhuwa
of the yolngu [?]
[?]

but there was no fight when the white man came
we welcomed him as a friend
but we never said he could have our land, because that would be the end
for if captain phillip would have landed here
and tried to take [?]
it wouldn’t have taken us very long to fix that english fellow

the murrgin(?) system can only work if we own the land today
the older people passes on to the
[…]
the [?] and the manikay goes hand in hand as one
as tomorrow calls we will decide a better destiny

perhaps we should have known better boy
instead of the songs we sing
to pledge allegiance to
a white aristrocracy
