Owairtilla Song written by Coloured Stone band members in collaboration with James Winwood from Barkly Arts.
LYRICS
VERSE 1
Woke up to the desert wind
Coming in from the east
Red dusty desert sand
Blowing from Rainbow Creek
CHORUS
Owairtilla, Owairtilla
Our home, Alyawarr Country
Owairtilla, Owairtilla
Our home, Alyawarr Country
VERSE 2
Nogija wild berries sweet
Sugar bag and honey bees
Bush potatoes sour and sweet
Dig in the ground near Donkey Creek
CHORUS
Owairtilla, Owairtilla
Our home, Alyawarr Country
Owairtilla, Owairtilla
Our home, Alyawarr Country
VERSE 3
When the rains return the land comes alive
Waterholes and rivers rise
Swimming and splashing in the hot desert sun
At Frew River we are all having fun
CHORUS X2
