Listen all you fathers and mothers! You must look after your children well and be strong about it so they can grow well, without sickness. Teach your children well, speak well and don’t smoke close to the children, that’s bad.
Ila wiya! Not Close!
lyrics
Mama ngunytjungku kulila
Iti wirura kanyinma
Munu kunpu kanyinma
Pika wiya nyinantjaku
Tjitji wirura nintinma
Munu wiya wangkama
Puyu palatjaya wantima
Kura palatja
Chorus:
Puyu palatjaya wantima tjitjingka
Ila wiya, ila wiya
Puyu palatjaya wantima tjitjingka
Ila wiya, ila wiya
Oooooooo ooooooo
Puyu palatjaya wantima tjitjingka
Ila wiya, (ila wiya)
Puyu palatjaya wantima tjitjingka
Ila wiya, (ila wiya)
Puyu palatjaya wantima tjitjingka
Ila wiya
