[Verse 1]

When two eggs burst open

Upon the sea

When it was cold and there was no flame

Two sisters walked, Djang'kawu was their name

Celestial sisters

Who came from the sun

Warming the yolk and creating the land

Oh, you sing to me, and I understand

[Chorus]

And you greet the morning star with song

You are handsome, you are strong

Butterflies floating around your head

Come away from your window, come to bed

[Verse 1]

Oh Maningrida

When you were born

Malawurrwurr came from across the sea

Gave their songs to you, let you sing to mе

[Chorus]

And you greet the morning star with song

You are handsome, you arе strong

Butterflies floating around your head

Come away from your window, come to bed

[Verse 1]

Go down to the waterhole

Drink from it's source

Ah, bathe in it's essence

Get a first rain's cup

And the evening

Or the morning

Will take you home

[Chorus]

And you greet the morning star with song

You are handsome, you are strong

Butterflies floating around your head

Come away from your window, come to bed

[Outro]

And the seaweed grows, down by the water's edge
