Mabo Lyrics - Singles - Yothu Yindi

Terra nullius terra nullius 

Terra nullius is dead and gone 

We were right 

That we were here 

They were wrong 

That we weren't here 

Liya balburrk bapayili 

Liya waltjan bapayili 

Liya balburrk bapayili 

Liya waltjan bapayili 

Mirriam people are dancing 

Pastime heoes are dancing too 

Mabo's spirit is sailing 

Telling the world a story 

Terra nullius terra nullius 

Terra nullius is dead and gone 

Liya balburrk bapayili 

Liya waltjan bapayili... 

We were right 

That we were here 

They were wrong 

That we weren't here... 

Mabo's law is standing firm 

Shedding power 

For us to be strong 

Spirit, law, culture and all 

Showing the world 

See our law 

Terra nullius terra nullius 

Terra nullius is dead and gone 

We were right 

That we were here 

They were wrong 

That we weren't here 

Liya balburrk bapayili 

Liya waltjan bapayili 

Bapayili bapayili 

Bapayili bapayili
