English Translation:

Two scrub fowl crying out, looking for Guwalilna

the calls like woman crying, lokking for Murrurnawu

the cries returning his mind to the jungles at Mutlwutjna

oh place Guwalilna, Warradika, Yumayna, m.m

Oh the old man cries, from the drink

oh dad Kamba-Djunadjuna, home Mayan-naraka bright in his mind

oh my two mums, beloved mums, hold Ruypu Milinditj

oh my two mums, beloved mums, cry for the sacred spring Burarrapu

oh the place Guwalilna, Warradika, Yumayna, m.m

*Djilawurr, the orange footed scrub fowl are family and relatives to the Gumatj Nation.
