Well I heard it on the radio
And I saw it on the television
Back in 1988
All those talking politicians
Words are easy, words are cheap
Much cheaper than our priceless land
But promises can disappear
Just like writing in the sand

Treaty Yeh Treaty Now
Treaty Yeh Treaty Now

Nhima Djatpangarri nhima walangwalang -
Nhe Djatpayatpa nhima gaya nhe-
Matjini.... Yakarray - nhe Djat'pa nhe walang - Gumurrtijararrk Gutjuk -

This land was never given up
This land was never bought and sold
The planting of the Union Jack
Never changed our law at all

Now two rivers run their course
Separated for so long
I'm dreaming of a brighter day
When the waters will be one

Treaty Yeh Treaty Now Treaty Yeh Treaty Now
Treaty Yeh Treaty Now Treaty Yeh Traty Now

Nhima djatpa nhe walang
gumurrtjararrk yawirriny Nhe gaya nhe matjini
Gaya nhe matjini Gaya gaya nhe gaya nhe
Matjini walangwalang Nhema djatpa nhe walang - Nhe gumurrtjarrk nhe ya-

Promises - Disappear - Priceless land - Destiny -

Well I heard it on the Radio - And I saw it on the Television
But promises can be broken Just like writing in the sand

Treaty Yeh
Treaty Now ....
Nou, ik hoorde het op de radio
En ik zag het op de televisie
Terug in 1988
Al die pratende politici
Woorden zijn gemakkelijk, woorden zijn goedkoop
Veel goedkoper dan ons onschatbare land
Maar beloftes kunnen verdwijnen
Net als schrijven in het zand

Verdrag Ja, Verdrag nu
Verdrag Ja, Verdrag nu

Nhima Djatpangarri Nhima Walangwalang -
Nhe Djatpayatpa nhima gaya nhe-
Matjini.... Yakarray - nhe Djat'pa nhe walang - Gumurrtijarark Gutjuk -

Dit land is nooit opgegeven
Dit land is nooit gekocht en verkocht
De aanplant van de Union Jack
Onze wet is nooit veranderd

Nu stromen twee rivieren hun loop
Zo lang gescheiden
Ik droom van een helderdere dag
Wanneer de wateren één zullen zijn

Verdrag Yeh Verdrag Nu Verdrag Yeh Verdrag Nu
Verdrag Yeh Verdrag nu Verdrag Yeh Traty nu

Nhima djatpa nhe walang
gumurrtjararrk yawirriny Nhe gaya nhe matjini
Gaya nhe matjini Gaya gaya nhe gaya nhe
Matjini walangwalang Nhema djatpa nhe walang - Nhe gumurrtjarrk nhe ya-

Beloften - Verdwijnen - Onbetaalbaar land - Lot -

Nou, ik hoorde het op de radio - en ik zag het op de televisie
Maar beloftes kunnen gebroken worden, net als schrijven in het zand

Verdrag ja
Verdrag nu....
