about

All my family and relations, listen to me. Sickness comes from squalid living. If you do the right things you will live well, have a good life. We should keep things clean; in the past times the land was clean and the places were well looked after but now we go to the store all the time. Everyone eats the food and throws the rest away. Why do this now?! We should clean it up and so respect the ancestors who kept it clean for us,

lyrics

Walytja tjuta ngayunya kulila
Nyura kuwari walytjangku kulinma
Raputjingkunta pika ungkuku
Raputjingkunta pika ungkuku
Walytja tjutangkunta nyuranya wangkanyi
Palya nyinama kunpu nyinama
Uti nganana kulira kilinanama
Uti nganana kulira kilinanama
Irititiya wirura para-ngarapayi
Irititiya wirura para-ngarapayi
Manta wiruraya kanyilpayi
Panya tjuwa iriti wiya ngarapayi
Ngananala tjuwangka kuwari tjarpapayi
Uwankarangkula ngalkula wanipayi
Nyaaku raputji palatja pulkaringanyi
Nyaaku raputji palatja pulkaringanyi
Uti nganana kulira kilinanama
Uti nganana kulira kilinanama
Iritiya wirura para-ngarapayi
Iritiya wirura para-ngarapayi
Manta wiruraya kanyilpayi
Panya tjuwa iriti wiya ngaripayi
Walytja tjutangku ngayunya kulila
Nyura kuwari wayltjangku kulinma
Raputjikunta pika ungkuku
Raputjikunta pika ungkuku
Walytja tjutangku nyuranya wangkanyi
Palya nyinama kunpu nyinama
