MIDNIGHT OIL


Gadigal Land Lyrics (feat. Dan Sultan, Joel Davison, Kaleena Briggs & Bunna Lawrie)

Welcome to Gadigal land
Welcome to Gadigal country
Welcome to Gadigal land
Welcome to Gadigal land
Do you know our story?
Welcome to Gadigal land

Don't you bring your poison
Don't you bring your grog
Don't you bring your smallpox
Sure to kill our mob
Don't you bring your justice
Don't you bring your gaols
Don't you bring your armies
Troopers on our trails

So welcome to Gadigal land
Welcome to Gadigal country
Welcome to Gadigal land
Welcome to Gadigal land
Have you heard our history?
Welcome to Gadigal land

We don't need your convicts
We don't need your thieves
We don't need your squatters
Or your emancipees
Don't you dam our rivers
Don't you fell our trees
Don't you carve our wilderness
Don't you net our seas
In the land where time stands still
In the land that's in a spell
Every day since the day you came is a day of rage
It's a day of rage

Welcome to Gadigal land
Wenyo wenyo wenyo!
Welcome to Gadigal land
Wenyo wenyo wenyo!

Mudjaru ngaya wunyang
(take pity on my bad pronunciation)
Ngandu bayabawai….ngara
(they told us they were sorry…listen)
Ngarawa darayawai, darimi
(but I think they've made a mistake, because for a long time)
Garamawaimi baya mudjin, wa?
(they stole my speech and family, see?)
Birrongaingun ngarawan
(our stars are now further away)
Always will be Gadigal land

It's unfolding you're unloading
Your high and mighty prison ships

We can live without your muskets
We can live without your guns
We can live without your strychnine
We can live without your rum
We can live without your gallows
We can do without your chains
We can do without the massacres
The sorrow and the pain
So welcome to Gadigal land
Wenyo wenyo wenyo!
Welcome to Wiradjuri land
Welcome to Yorta Yorta land
Welcome to Arrernte land
Welcome to Mirning land
Welcome to Gurindji land
All of the lands
Welcome!
