Directed and filmed by Robert Hambling @ Rancom St Studios and Oceanic Studio, Sydney

The Uluru Statement From The Heart was written by more than 250 delegates from all over Australia gathered at Uluru, Northern Territory, on the lands of the Anangu people, at the First Nations National Constitutional Convention in 2017. After centuries of struggle for recognition and justice, the statement calls for the establishment of a ‘First Nations Voice’ enshrined in the Australian Constitution and the establishment of a ‘Makarrata Commission’ to supervise agreement-making and truth-telling between governments and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

LYRICS

Ḻorrpu
(White Cockatoo)

Ḻiya munyaṉ wäyin, ḻiya munyaṉ wäyin
(These birds can see the spirit of our ancestors)

Naḻyurrunha gumadalili maykulili dhiyal'dhiyal'lili
(They fly up and gather in the branches of the paperbark trees)

Ḻorrpu ŋathina munyaṉminy munyaṉminy
(The White Cockatoos cry out together)

Ga ŋee ŋerrk
Ŋee ŋerrk
Ga ŋerrk ŋerrk ŋerrk ŋerrk ŋerrk ŋerrk
(The crying sound of the White Cockatoo)

Ghost ships sailing in the sky
Followed by the old empire
Trashed these nations, built their own

Change the date
Change the date
Change the date

Sailed to Sydney, flags flew high
Built a prison, please stand by
There’s no plausible denial

Change the date
Change the date
Change the date

Settlers stormed in countless waves
Massacred the native race
Left no mark on history’s page

Change the date
Change the date
Change the date

Draped in flags on this grand day
Drinking down your chardonnay
How long can you just look away?

Change the date
Change the date
Change the date

Ḻorrpu
(White Cockatoo)

Ḻorrpu
(White Cockatoo)

Ŋerrk ŋerrk thuna ŋathiŋa
(Ŋerrk ŋerrk they are crying)

Mali' munyaṉ wäyin
(The birds see the spirits and cry out)

Ga ŋee ŋerrk
Ŋee ŋerrk
Ga ŋerrk ŋerrk ŋerrk ŋerrk ŋerrk ŋerrk
(The crying sound of the White Cockatoo)
