Yaama Ghubbi-i ngaanngu gunuu
Yaama Ghubbi-i ngaanngu gunuu

CHORUS

We feel connected to our Land, We understand why that’s important,
Why we tell our dream time Stories.
Why we tell our dream time Stories.

VERSE 1

One hand up for the Culture Kings, Cause we love this life and the things that it brings, Two hands up for the Culture Queens, Now clap if you know what Culture means.

VERSE 2

If you don’t then you better start listening “Yep”, Close that gap talk step by step, Ear to the ground call max respect, Gomillaroi Mob we represent!

VERSE 3

Lets take it back to the Boo Bra Lagoon, With a tune so smooth that we wrote for you, Biami born so it says in the song line, Been passed down for a very long time.

VERSE 4

From the dream time to now no he never went away,
From his very special place back then to present day,
Yep the Rainbow Serpent soaks the sun rays, In a place called Boo Bra Lagoon.

CHORUS

We feel connected to our Land, We understand why that’s important,
Why we tell our dream time Stories,
Why we tell our dream time Stories.

VERSE 5

Do you remember way back? “Yep” back in the day, Karriga paid the price for his evil ways, He was an evil snake, He was large and cheeky, Fisherman beware, You’ll get eaten he’s sneaky.

VERSE 6

Tallahlah rose up to go get em, But the snake wasn’t ever effected by weapons, So he ran much further then what you would reckon, He yelled to the snake ill teach you a lesson.

BRIDGE There’s Paintings, Carvings, Ceremony, Mother in Law, turned Bumble Tree, Warrior put Karriga to sleep, At the bottom of the river at the end of the creek. One hand up for the Culture Kings, Two hands up for the Culture Queens,

CHORUS

We feel connected to our Land, We understand why that’s important,
Why we tell our dream time Stories.
Why we tell our dream time Stories.
