No Baaka, No Barkandji

This is a song about my People's connection to the Darling River that we call the Baaka My Uncle Badger Bates recon we got that connection to the Kalpi Nguku - the water When those million fish died out there at Menindee, many of the were Bony Bream, my Totem, we call them Nhaampa No Baaka, No Barkandji No Baaka, No Barkandji No Baaka, No Barkandji No Baaka, No Barkandji Kalpi Nguku go, where the Ngatjiku goes along Where the eagle and crow are a part of our sacred song Where the dusty river track will lead you back to me When that dam wall burst you and I will both be free They say Ngayi. Nhananya Warli Ngimpa Baaka They say Ngayi. Nhananya Warli Ngimpa Barkantji They say Ngayi. Nhananya Warli Ngimpa Baaka, no Baaka They say Ngayi. Nhananya Warli Ngimpa Barkantji No Baaka, No Barkandji No Baaka, No Barkandji No Baaka, No Barkandji No Baaka, No Barkandji Where the Nhaampa live is the blood of our great big land And the Makarra give is a part of our sacred dance And ll the people heard when the Baaka she does not run When that dam wall burst you and I will live as one They say Ngayi. Nhananya Warli Ngimpa Baaka They say Ngayi. Nhananya Warli Ngimpa Barkantji They say Ngayi. Nhananya Warli Ngimpa Baaka, no Baaka They say Ngayi.
