Muurrbay Tree Lyrics by Emma Donovan & The Putbacks

2022

We once was mountain people
We once was so easy to please
We would all come just come together
For the fruit from the Muurrbay tree

Till one day, one mob got greedy
Leaving nothing, nothing but the leaves
This was the people, people of the mountain
Eating the fruit from the Muurrbay tree

Up came the roots and up went the people
Holding on leaves sent to the sky
Yulurdara warned them
Pеople of the mountain
Breaking thе lore from the Muurrbay tree

Now who was left, but saltwater people
Gumbaynggirr here walking the land
All because of people, people of the mountain
Eating the fruit from the Muurrbay tree
Eating the fruit of the Muurrbay tree

Gumbaynggirr ngiyaa
Ngiyaa Muurrbaygundi girrwaa
Ngiyaa biin duguulawaygu
Muurrbaygundi burrun.gu
Ngiyaa biin duguulawaygu
Muurrbaygundi burrun.gu
