Macassan Crew lyrics

[Intro]
Yendharama birrapirra

[Verse 1]
Tradewinds blow
The southern cross
Taking their prau
Across the sea
They came in peace
Through the Ashmore Reef
Smoke and steel
And the Tamarind seed

[Chorus]
Steer it up right
Steer it up true
Navigate the Morning Star
Brave Macassan crew

[Verse 2]
Sailed on through
The hole in the wall
The place we call Rarrakala
To the shores of the far North East
Smoke, steel and the Tamarind tree
[Chorus]
Gapala Mangatjay
Gapala Gurrumulnga
Navigate the morning star
Brave Macassan crew

[Bridge]
Miyaman Matjala
Miyaman Gurrumulnga
Daynggatjing Garrnhdalu
Daymulung Wila'wila'yun
Miyaman Mangatjay
Miyaman Gurrumulngu
Daynggatjing Garrnhdalu
Daymulung Wila'wila'yun

[Chrous]
Steer it up right
Steer it up true
Navigate the morning star
Brave Macassan crew
