Jirranku (Number 9) Lyrics:
VERSE 1:
Ngow jungarli yarju kangkuya-na Jirranku
(Country far away my grandfather’s Number 9 Bore)
Umangkuni mirrkamarri nginini ngow, nginini ngow
(Dreamtime spirits made this country, this country)
CHORUS:
Angular ngarja ngarnu jimini ngow kangkuya-na
(I never saw that country my grandfathers’)
Wirjinki yarju baanbiya kungubarnu warruja
(It’s standing tall, families, one blood)
Baanbiya kungubarnu warruja
(My families, one blood)
Ngurra-wanu yarju
(We are one)
VERSE 2:
Jungarli jungarli yarju aakadada
(Far faraway poor thing)
Jimini ngow
(This country)
Kangkuya-na ngarja ngarri ngarruru ngow Jirranku, Jirranku
(Grandfather’s country, I will see my country Number 9 Bore, Number 9 Bore)
