Midnight Oil - Gadigal Land Lyrics
Official
Welcome to Gadigal land
Welcome to Gadigal country
Welcome to Gadigal land
Welcome to Gadigal land
Do you know our story?
Welcome to Gadigal land
Don't you bring your poison
Don't you bring your grog
Don't you bring your smallpox
Sure to kill our mob
Don't you bring your justice
Don't you bring your gaols
Don't you bring your armies
Troopers on our trails
So welcome to Gadigal land
Welcome to Gadigal country
Welcome to Gadigal land
Welcome to Gadigal land
Have you heard our history?
Welcome to Gadigal land
We don't need your convicts
We don't need your thieves
We don't need your squatters
Or your emancipees
Don't you dam our rivers
Don't you fell our trees
Don't you carve our wilderness
Don't you net our seas
In a land where time stands still
In the land that's in a spell
Every day since the day you came is a day of rage
It's a day of rage
Welcome to Gadigal land
Wenyo wenyo wenyo!
Welcome to Gadigal land
Wenyo wenyo wenyo!
Mudjaru ngaya wunyang
Ngandu bayabawai, ngara
Ngarawa darayawai, darimi
Garamawaimi baya mudjin, wa?
Birrongaingun ngarawan
Always will be Gadigal land
It's unfolding, you're unloading
Your high and mighty prison ships
It's unfolding, you're unloading
Your high and mighty prison ships
It's unfolding, you're unloading
Your high and mighty prison ships
We can live without your muskets
We can live without your guns
We can live without your strychnine
We can live without your rum
We can live without your gallows
We can do without your chains
We can do without the massacres
The sorrow and the pain
So welcome to Gadigal land
Wenyo wenyo wenyo!
Welcome to Wiradjuri land
Welcome to Yorta Yorta land
Welcome to Arrernte land
Welcome to Mirning land
Welcome to Gurindji land
All of the lands
All welcome
