I was standing on the garabang

~ poem written in Gumea Dharawal / Dharawal

I was standing on the garabang

watching the wuri go down 

with my warruga, when in the distance

she spotted a burri burri 

burri burri gali with warruga burri burri

burri burri were travelling from yuin 

coming up to give their body

for world peace

burri burri

bugi to give up his body 

to feed all the mobs

from surrounding ngura.

~ English translation

I was standing on the rocks

watching the sun go down 

with my aunty, when in the distance 

she spotted a whale 

whale did a dance with its baby whale 

the whales were travelling from yuin 

coming up to give up their body 

for world peace

whale

swim to give up his body 

to feed all the mobs

from surrounding Country.
