Macassan Crew Lyrics by Yothu Yindi

Healing Stone - The Best of Yothu Yindi

0

[Intro]
Yendharama birrapirra
[Verse 1]
Tradewinds blow
The southern cross
Taking their prau
Across the sea
They came in peace
Through the Ashmore Reef
Smoke and steel
And the Tamarind seed
[Chorus]
Steer it up right
Steer it up true
Navigate the Morning Star
Brave Macassan crew
[Verse 2]
Sailed on through
The hole in the wall
The place we call Rarrakala
To the shores of the far North East
Smoke, steel and the Tamarind tree
[Chorus]
Gapala Mangatjay
Gapala Gurrumulnga
Navigate the morning star
Brave Macassan crew
[Bridge]
Miyaman Matjala
Miyaman Gurrumulnga
Daynggatjing Garrnhdalu
Daymulung Wila'wila'yun
Miyaman Mangatjay
Miyaman Gurrumulngu
Daynggatjing Garrnhdalu
Daymulung Wila'wila'yun
[Chrous]
Steer it up right
Steer it up true
Navigate the morning star
Brave Macassan crew
