paroles de chanson Mulyawongk - 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
We 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
It cried so bitterly
She was born by the water's edge
Underneath this tree

When she come back to the river
It 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?)

She was a little girl
She never stood a chance
But she grew up and rose above
Her circumstance

She picked up her family
Helped them to do well
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

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

And Ruby of the River
Fulfilled her destiny
This woman is a keeper
Yeah she holds the key

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