Treaty Lyrics

edit | print

Well I heard it on the radio
And I saw it on the television
Back in 1988
All those talking politicians
Words are easy, words are cheap
Much cheaper than our priceless land
But promises can disappear
Just like writing in the sand
Treaty Yeh Treaty Now
Treaty Yeh Treaty Now
Nhima Djatpangarri nhima walangwalang -
Nhe Djatpayatpa nhima gaya nhe-
Matjini.... Yakarray - nhe Djat'pa nhe walang - Gumurrtijararrk Gutjuk -
This land was never given up
This land was never bought and sold
The planting of the Union Jack
Never changed our law at all
Now two rivers run their course
Separated for so long
I'm dreaming of a brighter day
When the waters will be one
Treaty Yeh Treaty Now Treaty Yeh Treaty Now
Treaty Yeh Treaty Now Treaty Yeh Traty Now
Nhima djatpa nhe walang
gumurrtjararrk yawirriny Nhe gaya nhe matjini
Gaya nhe matjini Gaya gaya nhe gaya nhe
Matjini walangwalang Nhema djatpa nhe walang - Nhe gumurrtjarrk nhe ya-
Promises - Disappear - Priceless land - Destiny -
Well I heard it on the Radio - And I saw it on the Television
But promises can be broken Just like writing in the sand
Treaty Yeh
Treaty Now ...

Well I heard it on the radio  
And I saw it on the television  
Back in 1988  
All those talking politicians  
Words are easy, words are cheap  
Much cheaper than our priceless land  
But promises can disappear  
Just like writing in the sand  
Treaty Yeh Treaty Now  
Treaty Yeh Treaty Now  
Nhima Djatpangarri nhima walangwalang -  
Nhe Djatpayatpa nhima gaya nhe-

This land was never given up  
This land was never bought and sold  
The planting of the Union Jack  
Never changed our law at all  
Now two rivers run their course  
Separated for so long  
I'm dreaming of a brighter day  
When the waters will be one  
Treaty Yeh Treaty Now Treaty Yeh Treaty Now  
Treaty Yeh Treaty Now Treaty Yeh Traty Now

Well I heard it on the Radio - And I saw it on the Television  
But promises can be broken Just like writing in the sand
