Djarimirri (child Of The Rainbow) Lyrics - Gurrumul

Rainbow-coloured light that shines from the rainbow serpent's scales. 

Mmmmmm Mmmmmm 

Yothu nyäku barrmaḻawuŋ 

Child of mine from the womb 

Djärimiŋgana 

Born into a colourful world 

Warraḏaymi yothu 

Colourful child 

Barrmaḻawu nyäku 

From my womb 

Ŋoya ḏimitmi 

Sleeping fully formed 

Ŋuḻarrwaraŋuru 

At the sacred place where women give birth
