ngia nandhi burri burri

~ Written in Gumea Dharawal / Dharawal

ngia nandhi burri burri 

ngia buwindja gum 

mayunda gum.

This is the first burri burri 

ngia nandhi this year

ngia went and called mob 

my warruya, djadja, baabaa

we went to gadhu to nandhi

how many burri burri were coming 

up the marrang.

~ English translation

I saw the humpback Whales

and remembered the yarns 

my old man told me.

This is the first humpback whale

I saw this year

I went and called mob

my aunt, brother and pop

we went to the ocean to see

how many humpback whales were coming 

up the coast.
