Lyrics
Miyamala matjala, ngathiya djanngala, liyawayma marngarrngura, nurmbernydja
Buwakurru
The vision of tomorrow shines, like the mirror on the wall
Cast an image of my people dancing and survival was the law
The shadows of the clouds move on, race by as I close my eyes
Making shapes of our great ancestors, as the daylight leaves the sky
Miyamala matjala, ngathiya djanngala, liyawayma marngarrngura, nurmbernydja
Buwakurru
Sometimes I think we're poor boys here, got no money got no job
And at times when I might turn to drink, I lose my head but then I start to think
Miyamala matjala, ngathiya djanngala, liyawayma marngarrngura, nurmbernydja
Buwakurru
Miyamala matjala, ngathiya djanngala, liyawayma marngarrngura, nurmbernydja
Buwakurru
Going to pick it up – lift it up
Going to pick it up – lift it up
Lift the game a bit – pick it up
Going to lift it up – pick it up
Miyamala matjala, ngathiya djanngala,liyawayma marngarrngura, nurmbernydja
Buwakurru
Miyamala matjala, ngathiya djanngala, liyawayma marngarrngura, nurmbernydja
Buwakurru
