Words to Wantarri Tarri song
Ya purrkurlu ngurlu
Ya wantarri tarri
Ya wantari kangu
From the space in the middle into the green.
Journey under the gift road, Milky Way or life.
Journey that needs to be taken by everybody.

Yungkaju Kurdari (Milky Way Song)
This is crown land
Crowned well before the queen
Do you want to see the crown
Do you want to see an emu fly
Look above- see the Milky Way
Don’t let others do the hunting for you
Known your strengths
Know your weaknesses
Like a star
Let the law of the land be the light that can shine out in us all
Let it bind us together
Learn the laws of this land

Yanirini manu yanirri
Kumumju Ngurlu-rna
