English Translation:
Two scrub fowl crying out, looking for Guwalilna
the calls like woman crying, lokking for Murrurnawu
the cries returning his mind to the jungles at Mutlwutjna
Two scrub fowl crying out, looking for Guwalilna
the calls like woman crying, lokking for Murrurnawu
the cries returning his mind to the jungles at Mutlwutjna
oh place Guwalilna, Warradika, Yumayna, m.m
Oh the old man cries, from the drink
oh dad Kamba-Djunadjuna, home Mayan-naraka bright in his mind
oh my two mums, beloved mums, hold Ruypu Milinditj
