Grassfire

Tapi in Nyiyaparli

Purungu karla kampapi warnili

yilkarila ngalingmarra kurungkali

wirpingka Kurtanakurtana parrkapa

karlakungkuru jirntalara kalpampa

piimaralu karnalpi Marngkurtu parnti pungkupungku junngarrii

karnara yurntu manyankarra

yilkarila ngalingmarra

The faint glow of a burning fire

Is stretched over a cloud in the sky —

There is tall spinifex grass around Kurdanakurdana.

The fire roars and sparks burst from charcoal,

Mirror their flight in the Fortescue River —

Strong smoke is piling up.

At daybreak a cloud layer stretches in the sky.
