Wuyupthurrunana dhawal Galupangu 

ngirrpunydja ngarraku ngathinana 

nhenydja ngarraku djirrmilyurruna 

manhanhayurra bayma Bekulngura 

nirrpungura dhuwalinydja, bapawala Banynydjiwala 

Go ngilimurru nhina yarrarrayun 

yolngu Bandirriya dharwulngurana 

wanga marrkapmirri wanga marrkapmirri 

ngarrakungu bonal nherranhara gapany gopulu 

Dhuwalana dhawal Nhalilangu Gunyangara. Gunyangarriyu 

Gawupu Butjumurru. Lepa-Bandirriya Guymalamurru 

nhenydja ngarraku milng'milngthurruna Nambangura Bandirriya 

Y..a Djarrami. y..a Batumang 

nirrpungura dhuwalinydja wawawala 

Wanhakana gunda Yunupuyngu. Birayngu Luku-mangamirri? 

wangawuy Dhamungura, Garrabalangu Djingupangu 

ya gunda Yunupuyngu, ya gunda Birayngu 

ya gunda Marrulayngu, wangawuy Dhamungura luku-nherranmina 

luku-nherranmina, luku-nherranmina 

(English translation) 

The country Galupa disappearing from sight 

My mind is crying 

You stand there for me 

Standing, stay there, at Bekulngura 

In the mind of aunty Banunydji 

Come let's all sit lined together 

ancestors at Bandirriya under the dharwul shade tree 

beloved country, beloved country 

on Gumatj ground a site cleared by me 

Here are the places Nhalilangu Gunyangara, Gunyangarri 

Gawupu Butjumurru, Lepa-Bandirriya Guymalamurru 

You my (country) are bright in my eyes 

Oh Djarrami, oh Batumang 

in the mind of my brother 

Where is the rock called Yunupuyngu, Birayngu Luku-mangamirri? 

of that place Dhamungura, Garrabalangu Djingupangu 

oh Rock Yunupuyngu, oh Rock Birayngu 

oh Rock Marrulayngu, put down its feet at Dhamungura 

put down its feet, put down its feet.
