Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I wish to be an Elder
An Old man of this land
I want to grow old with her
And have held her in my hand
[Verse 2]
I wish to be an Elder
Inspiring the Dream
Sharing of our culture
Protecting identity
[Verse 3]
Buwarr, Bundurr
Cover me in Dhawurraa
Like an Elder of this land
[Verse 4]
Right of passage yet to come
Like the stars that shine above
[Verse 5]
Holder of our stories
A nurturer of dreams
Sacred things, Spirit holder
Cover me in ochre
Like an Old man of this land
[Verse 6]
Gaba Binaal, Gayrriyaay
[Verse 7]
Burrul Bina
[Verse 8]
Buwarr, Bundurr
[Verse 9]
Cover me in ochre
[Verse 10]
Budjangka durruba
Marra yakamila durruba
Nganyarre
Nganyarre
Werrayn yakai
Wangkurela
Nganyarre karrewa
[Verse 11]
Budjangka durruba
Bubobelo murrboa
Marra mandarra dakai
Marra dawalbo
Buwarr, Bundurr
Cover me in ochre
Like an Elder of this land
Like an Old man of this land
