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 yeah treaty now treaty yeah treaty now
Nhima djatpangarri nhima walangwalang
Nhe djatpayatpa nhima gaya' nhe marrtjini yakarray
Nhe djatpa nhe walang gumurrt jararrk 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 river run their course
Seperated for so long
I’m dreaming of a brighter day
When the waters will be one
Treaty yeah treaty now treaty yeah treaty now
Treaty yeah treaty now treaty yeah treaty now
Nhima gayakaya nhe gaya' nhe
Nhe gaya' nhe marrtjini walangwalang nhe ya
Nhima djatpa nhe walang
Gumurr-djararrk yawirriny'
Nhe gaya' nhe marrtjini gaya' nhe marrtjini
Gayakaya nhe gaya' nhe marrtjini walangwalang
Nhima djatpa nhe walang
Gumurr-djararrk nhe yå,
Promises disappear - priceless land - destiny
(Gtr solo)
Treaty yeah treaty now treaty yeah treaty now
Well I heard it on the radio
And I saw it on the television
But promises can disappear
Just like writing in the sand
Treaty yeah treaty now treaty yeah treaty now
Treaty yeah treaty now treaty yeah treaty now
Treaty ma treaty ma treaty ma treaty ma treaty ma
