Marrandil (2008) – Geoffrey Gurrumul Yunupingu

Here I am, grieving, I’m crying, because of this sunset
My colours across the afternoon sky, Garrumara Baŋgarrari, Galaŋgarri Galathi
My clouds are rising, Wuḻpunduganawirra Gumbaḻkarra, shapes like people
Reflections on the calm water for me, shimmering on the water
With this sunset
The wind caresses me, the arms of the northern winds
An my grandmother country, Bangulŋa Randulkuŋa Wuḏutjana Gimiyala
O.h I am, oh I am Loli
O.h I am Galparra, Gurrumulŋa
My mind has gone back, to Bekuḻ, Galupayu, dhärrin and Mayaŋ-ŋaraka
Those two Gumatj women are crying
Dela Daylulu Dhuwanydjika grieving
O.h I am, oh I am Loli
O.h I am Galparra, Gurrumulŋa
