[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
