This is a song about my People's connection to the Darling River that we call the Baaka
My Uncle Badger Bates recon we got that connection to the Kalpi Nguku - the water

When those million fish died out there at Menindee, many of the were Bony Bream, my Totem, we call them Nhaampa

No Baaka, No Barkandji
No Baaka, No Barkandji
No Baaka, No Barkandji
No Baaka, No Barkandji

Kalpi Nguku go, where the Ngatjiku goes along
Where the eagle and crow are a part of our sacred song
Where the dusty river track will lead you back to me
When that dam wall burst you and I will both be free

They say Ngayi. Nhananya Warli Ngimpa Baaka
They say Ngayi. Nhananya Warli Ngimpa Barkantji
They say Ngayi. Nhananya Warli Ngimpa Baaka, no Baaka
They say Ngayi. Nhananya Warli Ngimpa Barkantji

No Baaka, No Barkandji
No Baaka, No Barkandji
No Baaka, No Barkandji
No Baaka, No Barkandji

Where the Nhaampa live is the blood of our great big land
And the Makarra give is a part of our sacred dance
And ll the people heard when the Baaka she does not run
When that dam wall burst you and I will live as one

They say Ngayi. Nhananya Warli Ngimpa Baaka
They say Ngayi. Nhananya Warli Ngimpa Barkantji
They say Ngayi. Nhananya Warli Ngimpa Baaka, no Baaka
They say Ngayi. Nhananya Warli Ngimpa Barkantji

No Baaka, No Barkandji
No Baaka, No Barkandji
No Baaka, No Barkandji
No Baaka, No Barkandji

No Baaka, No Barkandji
No Baaka, No Barkandji
No Baaka, No Barkandji
No Baaka, No Barkandji
