Lyrics

Gurtha maynmak, gurtha yati
Bili ngayi nguli wanganha yatjuma
Wiri buntja ngayi maynmak mirithirri
Mari ga mumu ngandi ga bapa
Nguili bitjanbili nyina gurthamirringura
Walangu maybnmak mirithirri
Balanda mala nguli warwugyun
Gurthawyntja
Wiribuyntja walala nguli
Gongurrunthanmirri
Waru!
(Luritja chorus – Gumatji verse)
Is fire good? Is fire bad?
Because it destroys the home and the country?
But sometimes this may be good
Grandfather, grandmother, mother and father
Have always used and been dependent on fire
For them it is very important
White people are concerned about bushfires and
Are quick to work together to put them out
Fire!
