Verse 1
This is a dedication to Kumanjay Little
He was an inspiration and a generous man
He was very famous for more than 50 years
We wonder what his last words were
And the last song that he sang
Chorus 1
He had a Heart for everyone
Nwern ltarrpa welham
He showed us how to live well
Mari karnarlu nyinami nyanunguku
Forever smiling through his songs
Verse 2
Well loved across the Nation
He had a strong message to tell
Through his Health Foundation
Our Uncle taught us well
Drink water, exercise each day
And eat a balanced diet
Let’s thank that Yorta Yorta man
So gentle and quiet
Chorus 2
Now he’s watching down on us
Nwern ltarrpa welham
Such a kind, respected man
Mari karnarlu nyinami nyanunguku
Forever smiling through his songs
