Djapana (Original Version) Lyrics by Yothu Yindi

Homeland Movement

0

[Verse 1]
Look at the sun sinking like a ship
And the sunset takes my mind
Back to my homeland, far away
It's a story (It's a story)
Planted in my mind
It's so clear (It's so clear)
I remember (I remember)
Oh my (Oh my), oh my (Oh my), sunset dreaming
[Chorus]
Wo-o-o djäpana
Wo-o-o warwu
Wo-o-o rramani
Wo-o-o galanggarri
[Verse 2]
Hey, you people (Hey you people), out there (Out there)
How come (How come) you ain't fair (You ain't fair)
To the people (To the people) of the land (Of the land)
Try my (Try my), try my (Try my) sunset dreaming
[Chorus]
Wo Djapana
Wo Warwu
Wo rramani
Wo Galanggarri
Wo Djapana
Wo Warwu
Wo rramani
Wo Galanggarri
[Verse 3]
Hey, you children (Hey, you children)
Of the land (Of the land)
Don't be fooled (Don't be fooled)
By the Balanda ways (By the Balanda way)
'Cause it will cause (It will cause)
Sorrow and woe (Sorrow and woe)
On our people (On our people)
And our land (And our land)
[Chorus]
Wo Djapana
Wo warwu
Wo rramani
Wo galanggarri
[Outro]
So live it up (Live it up)
Live it up (Live it up)
Live it up (Live it up)
Live it up (Live it up)
With sunset dreaming
