yothu yindi - treaty '98 lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
well i heard it on the radio
and i saw it on the television
now it’s 1988, all you talking politicians
words are easy, words are cheap
much cheaper than our priceless land
all your promises have been broken
just like writing in the sand

[hook]
treaty yeah, treaty now
treaty yeah, treaty now

[verse 2]
nhima djat’pangarri nhima walangwalang
nhe djat’payatpa nhima g+ya nhe marrtjini yakarray
nhe djat’pa nhe walang gumurr+djararrk gutjuk

[verse 3]
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
[hook]
treaty yeah, treaty now
treaty yeah, treaty now
treaty yeah, treaty now
treaty yeah, treaty now

[verse 4]
nhima g+yakaya, nhe g+ya’nhe
nhe g+ya’nhe marrtjini, walangwalang nhe ya
nhima djat’pa, nhe walang
nhe gumurr+djararrk yawirriny
nhe g+ya, nhe marrtjini, g+ya’nhe marrtjini
g+yakaya nhe g+ya
nhe marrtjini nhe walangwalang
nhima djat’pa nhe walang, nhe gumurr+djararrk, nhe ya
promises disappear, priceless land, destiny

[hook]
stop, don’t stop
treaty yeah, treaty now
treaty yeah, treaty now

[verse 5]
well i heard it on the radio
and i saw it on the television
but promises can disappear
just like writing in the sand
[hook]
treaty yeah, treaty now
treaty yeah, treaty now
treaty yeah, treaty yeah
treaty yeah, treaty now
treaty yeah, treaty yeah
treaty yeah, treaty now

[outro]
treaty ma, treaty ma
treaty ma, treaty ma
treaty ma, treaty ma
yo that’s it
