[Verse 1]
Lonely tree in amongst steel
Yolngu history from the bay
Where the spirit of a woman
Becomes a bird in paradise
[Chorus]
I am a lonely tree
I am a lonely tree
[Verse 2]
The forest of trees is all gone
They won't ever return again
The children will have nothing left
For thousand years
What will become of it all
[Chorus]
I am a lonely tree
I am a lonely tree
I am a lonely tree
I am a lonely tree
[Verse 3]
Djutukurrk giwu
Djutukurrk, djutukurrk, djutukurrk
Gathu gathu gay
Gathu gathu gay
Gathu gathu gay
Djutukurrk, djutukurrk, djutukurrk giwu
[Verse 4]
The cry of the hen
Brings the northern winds
To the island of Murryilnga
Gumatj people dance
Gumatj people sing
Paradise bird
Will return again
[Chorus]
I am a lonely tree (Djilawurr Manda)
I am a lonely tree (Djilawurr Manda)
I am a lonely tree (Djilawurr Manda)
I am a lonely rock (Djilawurr Manda)
I am a lonely tree (Djilawurr Manda)
I am a lonely rock (Djilawurr Manda)
I am a lonely tree (Djilawurr Manda)
I am a lonely rock (Djilawurr Manda)
I am a lonely tree (Djilawurr Manda)
I am a lonely tree (Djilawurr Manda)
