Tears for law Songtext

von Yothu Yindi

Tears for law (Garrathiya run)

Driving down the dusty road
4 wheel drive locked all the way
Destination Dhanayangala
Passing families on the way
Tonight we'll be sitting around
Talking till the campfire dies
Feeling the evening breeze
Eating the catch of the day
Just a few miles down the track
Is the Garrathiya run
Gunumarra country

Wanygurrkurr; Dhamungura; Djulwanbirr

Mystery woman weeping tears of pride and joy
Sound of thunder in the sky
Turning into the falling rain

Ganuru gay Milkarri gay Dhakiyanda Barangurrthun
Ranggurrminythu Djalpinydhu Guyupayu

We know they know all people accept
Sacred history of the rock
What has always been ours
Was determined by the floods
And the tears the tears they cried
Madiwirr Liyawanhurr wisdom
Passed down through the ages
Mystery woman weeping tears of pride and joy
Sound of thunder in the sky
Turning into the falling rain
Mystery woman weeping tears of pride and joy
Sound of thunder in the sky
Turning into the falling rain
