Terra nullius terra nullius

Terra nullius is dead and gone

We were right

That we were here

They were wrong

That we weren't here

Liya balburrk bapayili

Liya waltjan bapayili

Liya balburrk bapayili

Liya waltjan bapayili

Mirriam people are dancing

Pastime heoes are dancing too

Mabo's spirit is sailing

Telling the world a story

Terra nullius terra nullius

Terra nullius is dead and gone

Liya balburrk bapayili

Liya waltjan bapayili...

We were right

That we were here

They were wrong

That we weren't here...

Mabo's law is standing firm

Shedding power

For us to be strong

Spirit, law, culture and all

Showing the world

See our law

Terra nullius terra nullius

Terra nullius is dead and gone

We were right

That we were here

They were wrong

That we weren't here

Liya balburrk bapayili

Liya waltjan bapayili

Bapayili bapayili

Bapayili bapayili
