Lyrics

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 yeah
 Treaty now
 Treaty yeah
 Treaty now
 Nhima djatpangarri nhima walangwalang
 Nhe djatpayatpa nhima gaya' nhe marrtjini yakarray
 Nhe djatpa nhe walang gumurrt jararrk 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
 Seperated for so long
 I'm dreaming of a brighter day
 When the waters will be one
 Treaty yeah
 Treaty now
 Treaty yeah
 Treaty now
 Treaty yeah
 Treaty now
 Treaty yeah
 Treaty now
 Nhima gayakaya nhe gaya' nhe
 Nhe gaya' nhe marrtjini walangwalang nhe ya
 Nhima djatpa nhe walang
 Gumurr-djararrk yawirriny'
 Nhe gaya' nhe marrtjini gaya' nhe marrtjini
 Gayakaya nhe gaya' nhe marrtjini walangwalang
 Nhima djatpa nhe walang
 Gumurr-djararrk nhe yå
 Promises disappear
 Priceless land, destiny
 Well I heard it on the radio
 And I saw it on the television
 But promises can disappear
 Just like writing in the sand
 Treaty yeah
 Treaty now
 Treaty yeah
 Treaty now
 Treaty yeah
 Treaty now
 Treaty yeah
 Treaty now
 Treaty ma
 Treaty ma
 Treaty ma
 Treaty ma
 Treaty ma
