guruuja and yugirr are cousins
majestic protectors
circling birth
yugirr to the front
guruuja to the side
canoe and yamaarr
gagaln.gay
gagaln.gay and
gagaln.gay
dunggiir bulaguur
made their bridge for the people
they were trying
garra-maana buluunggal
guruuja
canoe
gaagal of jiling turquoise
throwing out the line
guruuja daalgay and
the dunggiir bulaguur dudes
the bridge
the yarning circle -
woah!
inspiration up there
and around coral giiguy eyes
“giinagay gaagal”
ngaya tap the ngaarlu wiinyjarr
but there’s mischief
with an axe
guruuja breathes giigay memories
from gaagal
from the beach
ngaya sis barefoot dreamtime daalgay
is that guruuja daalgay coming up
from ngaarlu wiinyjarr?

Whales and dolphins are cousins
majestic protectors
circling birth
dolphin to the front
whale to the side
canoe and fish
waves
waves and
waves
koala brothers
made their bridge for the people
they were trying
to catch the mullet
whale
canoe
ocean of blue turquoise
throwing out the line
whale song and
the koala brother dudes
the bridge
the yarning circle -
woah!
inspiration up there
and around coral rainbow eyes
“hello ocean”
I tap the water
but there’s mischief
with an axe
the whale breathes rainbow memories
from the ocean
from the beach
my sis barefoot dreamtime singing
is that whale song coming up
from the water?
