Warlu Warlu Warluka Janngkami
Warlu Warlu Warluka Janngkami
A fire was burning our country
It destroyed our land
Animals were running from the blazing flames
They had nowhere to hide from the fire
Warlulpa jannkaja ngurungka
Nganimpa nyangurla
Warlulpa janngkaja yaruju
Nguru linjilki
Warlu jangkaju
Warlu Warlu Warluka Janngkami
Warlu Warlu Warluka Janngkami
I can see the horizon in the distance
The trees and plants were all black
Now our land and country looks lonely
There is nothing left in the land
