For Troy the song is about camping as a kid with his cousins and being asked to settle down and go to sleep – which was always hard to do. It’s about trying to be quiet and still at night time, even though you’re excited. 🏕️✨ Lyrics: Ninganah you jarjum (kids), ninganah you kids, the goonge* (ghost) will come give you a fright Now please don’t be mugul (naughty), just close your eyes Ninganah you jarjum goodnight Hey jalaany barrway (big mouth) time for some sleep or the curlews may give you a fright Tuck in your jinang (feet), and just close your eyes Ninganah you jarjum goodnight Ninganah you jarjum, ninganah you kids, the goonge will come give you a fright Now please don’t be mugul, just close your eyes Ninganah you jarjum goodnight Ninganah you jarjum goodnight Ninganah you jarjum goodnight Ninganah you jarjum goodnight Goonge also known as Guunj originated in Dhanggati language (spelt guuyn in Dhanggati). ___________________________________________ This beautiful track was written and performed by Christine Anu and produced by DOBBY.
