Mabo Lyrics

Terra nullius terra nullius
Terra nullius is dead and goneWe were right
That we were here
They were wrong
That we weren't hereLiya balburrk bapayili
Liya waltjan bapayili
Liya balburrk bapayili
Liya waltjan bapayiliMirriam people are dancing
Pastime heoes are dancing too
Mabo's spirit is sailing
Telling the world a storyTerra 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 lawTerra nullius terra nullius
Terra nullius is dead and goneWe were right
That we were here
They were wrong
That we weren't hereLiya balburrk bapayili
Liya waltjan bapayili
Bapayili bapayili
Bapayili bapayili
