Fire Lyrics
[Intro]
Ditjgurr-rrr wop
Who's gonna put out the fire
Who's gonna put out the fire
[Verse 1]
She's the lizard woman
Lives with the Baru man
Living in a place called bombi
Yakutja bilingurra
Follow the tracks of Baru
Into the nest of fire
Does it ever make you wonder
The flame of her desire
[Chorus]
I'm on fire
Who's gonna put out the fire
I'm on fire
Ditjgurr-rrr wop
[Verse 2]
Listen to the sound of thunder
Lightning hits the ground (Gukula)
Does it ever make you wonder
Heartbeats to be found (Metjametja)
Listen to the sound of thunder
Lightning hits the wire
Baru man through water
I'm gonna be your fire
Ditjgurr-rrr wop
[Chorus]
I'm on fire
Who's gonna put out the fire (Mukurala)
Fire
Who's gonna put out the fire
I'm on fire
Metjametja
Ditjgurr-rrr wop
[Verse 3]
Gurtha dhurrkungala methuthu
Guway'madarrpa gadumitjpal (Gukula)
Wanganguru'bombi walwaluna
Gunmurrutjpi mukurala
[Chorus]
I'm on fire
Who's gonna put out the fire
I'm on fire
Who's gonna put out the fire (Gukula)
[Verse 4]
Gangathina ngalarrwi mararrapan
Wambal mulkana dhumumu
Nhara Gukula rilmitja
Lukuwaltharrnga garawura
Butthun nilngnilng baykandjarri
Mayku nhara yarrayarra
Dulwarrikarri lapanangura metjametja
[Outro]
Who's gonna put out the fire
I'm on fire
I'm on fire
Ditjgurr-rrr wop
