Ŋurula - Wheeling Seagulls

from UP FROM THE DEEP by Tunnel Number Five

/

about

Seagulls roost on the tiny island of Ganalawurru, just off the north coast of Elcho island. Guwanbal’s manikay of the Gälpu clan is beautifully supported by the harmonic whirlies of Sarah, occasionally joined by Guyundula, strings, shakuhachi and Henk’s rich voice singing: Awino oooh! Oh! Mother.

lyrics

Wirryunmaram, wirryunmaram. Bulwunu nhäma garrwarthinyawuy, bulwunu nhäma bayilki Ganalawurru, dhur’yun marrtji. Wirryunmaram, wirryunmaram. Bulwunu garrwarthinyawuy. Wiripuny warrakan Djambarrpuyŋu

Soaring up high, in the clouds, see the gentle dancing rain. Wheeling around the tiny island of Ganalawurru, the seagulls of the Djambarrpuŋyu clan.
