Wuri Rising
By Nicole Smede
~ Dharawal interpretation provided by Jodi Edwards
Maying quiet mist
Ngulangang silently gathered
by dying ganbi
Leaving Nanggaa Gudjaga-wulawala
Gami-wulali open, yiraman chests filled
with the breath of garuwangga-wulali
Bunbal in maramal,
Mudji-wulali, burara guided
through manda wayagadi-na djibir for
the unweaned and the weary.
Warra mana guwaan
Gulgul
Returning to Ngura
Ngaba, Ngabu, boori
Gugara dja dja,
Wuri rising
