The wind comes across the land
Bringing the words and the language
Carrying the spirits of our ancestors
As we look out over the land
Translation Chorus:
Even though you, me, we all call out in our own different languages
We sit down on this land here together
Translation Verse 2
We can hear Ndjébbana, Na-kara, Kun-barlang, Burarra, Gun-nartpa, Gurr-goni, Kuningku, Rembarrnga, Kune, Djinang, Dalabon**
As we look out over the land
** These are languages of the Maningrida region

Such a beautiful reimagining of a lovely MBV track. Makes me feel like I'm sitting alone in a small empty room on a grey cold morning during lockdown. Oh wait... that's what I'm doing! Ricardo Potoroo
