00:00In the heart of Harnam land, the red dirt leads the way
00:13With my band beside me, we made our stage each day
00:17Through the gum trees and the scrub, tales spun pure and true
00:22They call me Bulu-Lalachi, a white cockatoo
00:26For campfires in the twilight to dawn under the stars
00:32We sang of love and heartache beneath those southern scars
00:36The elders taught us wisdom in words so old and rare
00:41They gave me a new name with love and care
00:46Bulu-Lalachi, white high and free
00:50Singing songs of Harnam land for all its history
00:55With the band beside me, in the outback's golden hue
01:00They gave this name of honor, the white cockatoo
01:04We traveled through the wetlands, past rivers wide and grand
01:16Singing for the children who took us by the hand
01:21Kakadu's vast skies, all secrets of the night
01:25In every tune and melody, the white cockatoo
01:30The red rocks of those ranges, echoed with our sound
01:35Each note, a tribute to this ancient sacred ground
01:39I'm filled with bombs to bushlands, the music flows so true
01:44They call me Bulu-Lalachi, a white cockatoo
01:49Bulu-Lalachi, fly high and free
01:53Singing songs of Harnam land for all its history
01:58With the band beside me, in the outback's golden hue
02:03They gave this name of honor, the white cockatoo
02:08Bulu-Lalachi, fly high and free
02:18Singing songs of Harnam land for all its history
02:24With the band beside me, in the outback's golden hue
02:28They gave this name of honor, the white cockatoo
02:33programs from physically and free
02:35Man of honor, you've missed the band beside me
02:39And I began to see you
02:41All I know is now, you have to make up
02:43At last time, I'm going to say
02:45For the band beside me, I don't forget
02:48I'm gonna see you
02:51Bully-Lalachi, fly high and high
