Songtexte Mulyawongk - Live - Archie Roach

Stand on this mountain
See how far we've come
I see my brothers and sisters
Still falling down

I looked across this river
This is where we wanna be
Let me cry all our salty, salty tears
Into the sea

And the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
Hear the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling

When Ruby left the river
She cried so bitterly
'Cause she was born by the water's edge
Underneath this tree

When she come back to the river
She cried so happily
'Cause she no longer a stranger
In her own country

And the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
Hear the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
(Who's calling to them?)

(Du-du-du-du-du)
(Du-du-du-du-du)
(Du-du-du-du-du)
(Du-du-du)

(La-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la)

When she was a little girl
Never stood a chance
But she grew up and rose above
Her circumstance

And she picked up her family
Helped them to do well
And she picked up her husband
Saved him from his hell

And the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
Hear the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
(Who's calling to them?)

(Du-du-du-du-du)
(Du-du-du-du-du)
(Du-du-du-du-du)
(Du-du-du)

Yeah, we're living in the sunshine
There's rainbows in the sky
Oh, we gotta be happy now
No need to cry

And Ruby of the river
Fulfills her destiny
This woman is a keeper
Yeah, she holds the key

And the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
Oh, the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
