Gadigal Land (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

And 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

It's unfolding, you're unloading

Your high and mighty prison ships

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

Oh, welcome!
