Pitjantjatara

(x 2)

Verse

40,000 years you roamed, the western deserts were your home

You listened to the land with your artwork dance and song

2) Some may call it genocide, you tried to swim against the tide

Cattle country, christian missions, they all took a toll

Chorus

Pitjantjara a desert language, Anagu the desert people where have you gone?

We sing your dreamtime songs, where have you gone, where have you gone?

3) You Left your painting etched in rock, sacred places earthy spots

The dingo now a witness, among this dusty sand

Your song lines and over, your waterholes a distance much to far to go.

Let the kangaroo and emu remain

Chorus

Where have you gone?
