Strong Currents

Buwaarr gurruuja blowing bubbles in the deep jiling gaagal

Yugiir ngaarri right near me

Miimi tail floating past

Crabs on the gaagal floor scurrying fast

ngaya feel miimi close to ngaya

with all the colours in the gaagal

Schools of yamaarr swimming by with strong currents

rushing past ngaya eye

Massive magaray go through the gaagal

and a rush of fear goes through ngaya

Ngarranga the boat pulling it along

the net following past really strong

Miimi trying to giigan ngaya down

hoping ngaya don’t sink to the ground

Baby whale blowing bubbles in the deep blue ocean

Dolphins play right near me

Mama’s tail floating past

Crabs on the ocean floor scurrying fast

I feel Mother close to me

with all the colours in the ocean

Schools of fish swimming by with strong currents

rushing past my eye

Massive fish nets go through the ocean

and a rush of fear goes through me

I hear the boat pulling it along

the net following past really strong

Mother trying to calm me down

hoping I don’t sink to the ground
