Well I heard it on the radio

And I saw it on the television

Back in 1988

All those talking politicians

Words are easy, words are cheap

Much cheaper than our priceless land

But promises can disappear

Just like writing in the sand

Treaty Yeh Treaty Now

Treaty Yeh Treaty Now

Nhima Djatpangarri nhima walangwalang -

Nhe Djatpayatpa nhima gaya nhe-

Matjini.... Yakarray - nhe Djat'pa nhe walang - Gumurrtijararrk Gutjuk -

This land was never given up

This land was never bought and sold

The planting of the Union Jack

Never changed our law at all

Now two rivers run their course

Separated for so long

I'm dreaming of a brighter day

When the waters will be one

Treaty Yeh Treaty Now Treaty Yeh Treaty Now

Treaty Yeh Treaty Now Treaty Yeh Traty Now

Nhima djatpa nhe walang

gumurrtjararrk yawirriny Nhe gaya nhe matjini

Gaya nhe matjini Gaya gaya nhe gaya nhe

Matjini walangwalang Nhema djatpa nhe walang - Nhe gumurrtjarrk nhe ya-

Promises - Disappear - Priceless land - Destiny -

Well I heard it on the Radio - And I saw it on the Television

But promises can be broken Just like writing in the sand

Treaty Yeh

Treaty Now ...
