is there a translation of that available? It was very beautiful.
From what I can find online the lyrics are...
Warwuyu ŋarranha mulkana
ŋaraku bapawu
ŋurununa gunipunharayu
ya..a, bäpa marrkapmirri
ŋathina wilawilayurruna
ŋuruŋuna djarrawalyurruna
liya-wayma Bekulŋura
ya..a bäpa marrkapmirri
ŋäthina Djotarra manda
garray Dhuwandjika Daylulu
ŋuruŋuna djarrapalwuyu
liya-wayma wäŋaŋura GunyaŋarriWhich translate as...
Grief has taken hold of me
For my father
When the sun sets
Oh, beloved father
Crying and crying
When the sun goes down
My mind there at Bekulnura
Oh, beloved father
Two Gumatj ladies crying
Ancestor boss ladies Dhuwandjika and Daylulu
When the sun sets
My mind there at the place Gunyanara
