Desert man, desert woman


Wangkatjikitjana ngayunya
Wantikatinytja
(I want to talk about how I was left behind)
Mungatuna tjina anu
(A long time ago from where I walked)
Ngayunya wantikatingu
Alice springala
(They left me in a place called Alice Springs)
Kana tjina anu ngurakutu
(From where I walked back home)

If you go out as far as you can
You will find the desert man
Family bound and ancient
Born of the earth the dust his blanket

Tell you the story of the bird in the sky
Laid some eggs for as many stars to fly
It's light years from Westfield camping on the track
Moving along in the great outback

You're going to see him
You're going to see him
Moving along in the great outback

Wati paluru, Wati putitja
(That is the man, that is the desert man)
Wati paluru, Wati putitja
(That is the man, that is the desert man)
Winking, spitting and sparkling lights
Cars are screaming at traffic lights
Sirens sound at suburban dawn
I can see a gnome on your front lawn

You’re going to see him
You’re going to see him
Moving along in the great outback
Moving along in the great outback
Moving along in the great outback

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
 
The lyrics DESERT MAN, DESERT WOMAN of MIDNIGHT OIL is also present in the album The makarrata project (2020)
