Текст песни Yurala (Spinifex Gum) с переводом

Down by the Ngurin where the river runs dry

Is a story that’ll bring a teardrop

To your eye (eye-eye) where Long Mack

Used to call the Warlu up and make rain there

Song secret as the colourful sky

He could sing it make the black heavens cry

Bunggaliyarra Thalu nourished that land

He held thunder in the palm of his hand

But red dust from the iron ore train’ll

Make a white cocky all stained and rusty

And rich boys and the royal family

They needed water for their dusty money

Tharngungarli is the senior Lawman

Long Mack he’s small but he stands

Taller than a world record he’d call that

Yundu Thalu like an infinite chorus

When he heard about the dam disgrace, yelled

«Hey, I’m Ngurrara I speak for that place!»

His face frowned with a worrying mind, said

«Judge, that river’s from the Marrga times»

But red dust from the iron ore train’ll

Make a white cocky all stained and rusty

And rich boys and the royal family

They needed water for their dusty money

Going to build a dam, going to build a dam

They don’t give a damn, going to build a dam

Over my Country

Hey! I’m Yurala I know this ground

I’m Yurala don’t dam it down

And the river’s my body

Can you hear the thundering clouds?

Or the Warlu he’ll tear you up

He’s a cheeky one that one

Bad business that Harding dam

Stay away from our river man

Yurala, yurala, yurala, yurala

Yurala, yurala, yurala, yurala

Down in the city in the premier’s room

They talk mines and the boom, boom, boom, boom!

They say «Charlie you’re a capital man

And Lang Hancock’s shaken your hand

The Pilbara’s a desert and we need green lawns

So go hide those black land right forms

And who’s that who they call Long Mack?

Are you going to let a

Yindjibarndi ruin our racket?"

But red dust from the iron ore train’ll

Make a white cocky all stained and rusty

And rich boys and the royal family

They needed water for their dusty money

Going to build a dam, going to build a dam

They don’t give a damn, going to build a dam

Over my country

Hey! I’m Yurala I know this ground

I’m Yurala don’t dam it down

And the river’s my body

Can you hear the thundering clouds?

Or the Warlu he’ll tear you up

He’s a cheeky one that one

Bad business that Harding dam

Stay away from our river man

Yurala, yurala, yurala, yurala

Yurala, yurala, yurala, yurala

Garndaangarra, Garndaangarra

Thalu, thalu, thalu, thalu is gone

Garndaangarra, Garndaangarra

Bunggaliyarra munggu and the sisters of

Marndirrinha, Marndirrinha

Tree in the moon of Mayalarri gone

Yundu Thalu, Yundu Thalu

Drowned down below

Proud Yindjibarndi know far and wide

They can tell you how Long Mack he died

He fought hard in the city and the town

His heart broke when his Thalu got drowned

They could have listened

Could have found a new site, but

Since when does the Government shine?

Different business and a different Law

One means money and the other much more

Going to build a dam, going to build a dam

Going to build a dam, going to build a dam

Going to build a dam, going to build a dam

They don’t give a damn, going to build a dam

Over my country

Hey! I’m Yurala I know this ground

I’m Yurala don’t dam it down

And the river’s my body

Can you hear the thundering clouds?

Or the Warlu he’ll tear you up

He’s a cheeky one that one

Bad business that Harding dam

Stay away from our river man…

Hey! I’m Yurala I know this ground

I’m Yurala don’t dam it down

And the river’s my body

Can you hear the thundering clouds?

Or the Warlu he’ll tear you up

He’s a cheeky one that one

Bad business that Harding dam

Stay away from our river man

Yurala, yurala, yurala, yurala

Yurala, yurala, yurala, yurala

Yurala, yurala, yurala, yurala

Yurala, yurala, yurala, yurala
