Текст песни The Crab and the Suckerfish (Gapu a Githalay) - Christine Anu

There's a slight breeze, ripples on the water
Just a touch of wind comes then dead flat calm
Here comes the suckerfish
We call him Gapu
Sitting in the corals, they're swimming down below

Buka ari patterns on the sea top
You can feel the naygay alive on my skin
Hidden in the mangroves, amadhan nagi
We call him Githalay
The crab and the suckerfish
Gapu a Githalay

The magic show begins
The catfish, the orange moon
There's bamboo poles, there's vine for rope
And a tall cotton tree by the deep lagoon

Thagaw nis floats on the grey green water
Thagaw nis drifts with the gentle tide
Hidden in the mangroves, amadhan nagi
We call him Githalay
The crab and the suckerfish
Gapu a Githalay

Buka ari patterns on the sea top
You can feel the north wind alive on my skin
The crab and the suckerfish
It's a-coming home for me
Hidden in the mangroves
What a sight to see
Gapu a Githalay

It's a-coming home for me
Amadhan nagi
The only place to be
Gapu a Githalay
Gapu a Githalay
Gapu a Githalay
Gapu a Githalay
