My land by the water , my land by the waterside
Jiir, milgin-ngurru
Feeding on the rising tide
High above the mangrove down Burrgoogoon hunting for my family
You know the tide right , just look at the moon
Yellow wattle flower smell 'em, tell 'em that the mullet must be fat today
Sliding in, glide on the wind of the late afternoon --> CHORUS
Local fisherman gotta bagful, gotta big gang plenty mouth to feed
Man with the badge say hey you youre breaking the rules
Dont care what your rule is you know thousand politicians couldn't
change my ways
My law is the sea and pull of the sun and the moon
My land by the water , my land by the waterside
Jiir, milgin-ngurru
Feeding on the rising tide
Translations from Aboriginal Language:
Jiir - small sea eagle
milgin-ngurru - big sea eagle
Burrgoogoon - place also known as Morgan's camp (Yawuru language)
