Lyrics to Bagi-la-m Bargan
Bargan, bargan
Bargan, bira, nyinang
Bargan, bira, nyinang
Bagi-la-m, bagi-la-m
Bagi-la-m, gangir, ngali
Bagi-la-m, gangir, ngali
Djabil, oh, djabil, oh
Djabil, bagi-la-m, muthar
Djabil, bagi-la-m, muthar
Yirinda, yirinda
Yirinda, yanman, baru, nganya
Yirinda, yanman, baru, nganya
Standin' on the shoreline, Cook man comin'
Muthar wanna cross mine, wanna take it from me
Fire in my eyes, but we ain't runnin'
Wonamutta, let's ride, ayy, ayy
Patiently waiting for someone I ain't never seen before
They say he's a captain of men, but he believe in our law
From the land of the white skin
He's self-righteous, a murder without license
With the spear, I'm the nicest
Thinkin' that I might just wait 'til night hits
Then I move in silencе (move on my land)
'Til the moon's at its highest (nobody can)
And my soul is dеfiant (defy my land)
Won't be tuned by desire to kill
Any white devil wanna test my will
Then he finna get burnt by the fire I feel
Look 'em in the eye and hold his spirit still
He's hopin' I won't catch him, but I know I will
Standin' on the shoreline, Cook man comin'
Muthar wanna cross mine, wanna take it from me
Fire in my eyes, but we ain't runnin'
Wonamutta, let's ride, ayy, ayy
Standin' on the shoreline, Cook man comin'
Muthar wanna cross mine, wanna take it from me
Fire in my eyes, but we ain't runnin'
Wonamutta, let's ride, ayy, ayy
Well, they say that they came in peace
But our blood still stains the beach
Roll the dice, we gon' play for keeps
This sacred place ain't a place to preach
(No, no, no) No white faith in a black belief
(No, no, no) Better pray that our spears don't reach
His cold, white heart, I'ma make it bleed, lead into the First Fleet
Sicker than disease that he bring from overseas
No matter where you flee, I will always be
In the darkest of night, yeah, the sender will see me
Standin' on the shoreline, Cook man comin'
Muthar wanna cross mine, wanna take it from me
Fire in my eyes, but we ain't runnin'
Wonamutta, let's ride, ayy, ayy
Standin' on the shoreline, Cook man comin'
Muthar wanna cross mine, wanna take it from me
Fire in my eyes, but we ain't runnin'
Wonamutta, let's ride, ayy, ayy
