about

This is a two part lullaby, the first is yimenda meaning turtle in Anindilyakwa and the second is papaguneray which is a hand clapping game.

lyrics

Ementha, Yunguba, nungulangwa enemumuwa

Little turtle where are your eggs?

Papaguneray, suray, suray,
salamana atthathaniya, whoa
papaguneray

Mijelya Munja,
ngarrermarkenuma,
ngerremebenuma
papaguneray,
ogwa ementha, eh,
yo, murruba

Papaguneray, suray, suray,
salamana atthathaniya, whoa
papaguneray

ementha…yunguba..nungulangwa
enumumuwa
