IHHP and the Minyerri School NT finally had the chance to work together last week to produced this fresh new track 'Minyerri People'. The amazing students waited along time for this, and did a great job on the song, writing about their own community, people and Alawa culture. Even writing part of the song in Kriol. They want the people of Minyerri and the world to look after each other and the land.
Thanks to Cheryl and her amazing staff at Minyerri Schol for hosting IHHP for the week. Thanks to Jones, Laurie, Bruce and the fellas for coming together and making a Bambu for the recording of the dances. And big thanks to the young artist for their performance. Big props to IHHP artists Jerome Farah, Kamahi Gordon King, Tim Hillier and Syd Row for facilitating an outstanding project.
Lyrics- 'Minyerri People'
Verse 1
Minyerri In the House
here to tell the world what we all about
All the girls style so fresh
All the boys, rhyme the best
Our home is Alawa Land
Home to a river called Balaglen
Jumping off rocks, Swinging off trees
Hunting and fishing for baramundi
See us dancing at the disco
Everybody get down everybody get low
Get low, get low, everybody here we go
Front row seat for the Minyerri Show
When it gets hot we at the water park
Playing all day but we home before dark
Proud to be where we from!
Hear my voice please sing along!
Pre Chorus
C! - See all of us on our land
U! - You and me dancing in the sand
L! - Elders teaching us about culture
T! - Teachers have things to show us
U! - You, Me, Familiy
R! - Are we one? Yes indeed
E! - Easy like 1.2.3!
Keep our culture DEAD-LY!!!
Ooohhhh Wooooh Im looking out for my people
Ooohhhh Wooooh Sing it loud I cant hear you
OOOOHH Wooooh Wooooh Im looking out for my people
I am! You are ! We all
Minyerri People!
Verse 2
Respectembut each other if we gotta stay strong
Usembut your manners sabi right from wrong
Remember our way from olden times
Respect our land its yours and mine
Respecting each other your mother and father
Youy uncle and your aunty and your sister and brother
If we can do this we can all get along
Thats the way we do it when we sing this song
At school we write and read
Try our best to succeed
All the bullies try to be so mean
we are one like the tigers football team
kicking goal never missing
respect our teachers, always listen
Proud to be where we from
Hear my voice please sing along
Pre Chorus
C! - See all of us on our land
U! - You and me dancing in the sand
L! - Elders teaching us about culture
T! - Teachers have things to show us
U! - You, Me, Familiy
R! - Are we one? Yes indeed
E! - Easy like 1.2.3!
Keep our culture DEAD-LY!!!

OOOOHH Wooooh Wooooh Im looking out for my people
I am! You are ! We all
