Yendharama birrapirra
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
Steer it up right
Steer it up true
Navigate the morning star
Brave Macassan crew
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
Gapala Mangatjay
Gapala Gurrumulnga
Navigate the morning star
Brave Macassan crew
Miyćman Matjala,
Miyćman Gurrumulnga,
Daynggatjing Garrnhdalu,
Daymulung Wila'wila'yun,
Miyćman Mangatjay,
Miyćman Gurrumulngu
Daynggatjing Garrnhdalu,
Daymulung Wila'wila'yun,
Steer it up right
Steer it up true
Navigate the morning star
Brave Macassan crew
