The Preatures - Yanada Lyrics

People say it's not cool to
Be sweet like you
They wanna wreck it in the moment
Keep you cynical
Well, that's not me, sister
That's not my style with you
I'm walking to the water and I take a dive

And I'm high there, walking with you again
Tell me how it was in
The beginning of our land
We're like the Dreamtime
Shedding our skin again

I open up my eyes underwater
I just open up my eyes underwater (O oh)
I open up my eyes underwater
I just open up my eyes under, uh
Under the water

And I'm looking at you
You just think too much
You gotta get out of your head, baby
Get back in touch
Well, there's a secret in the river
And the river is deep
I know if I dream the future
It will dream back at me

And I'm high there, walking with you again
Tell me how it was in
The beginning of our land
We're like the Dreamtime
Shedding our skin again

I open up my eyes underwater
I just open up my eyes underwater (O oh)
I open up my eyes underwater
I just open up my eyes under, uh
Under the water

Yanada yanada yanada marri yanada
Gumada, gumada, nula burra-wa
Yanada yanada yanada, walama yanama la
Gumada, gumada wa nura (Ngurra-wa)
Yanada yanada yanada marri yanada
Gumada, gumada, nula burra-wa
Yanada yanada yanada, walama yanama la
Wa nura wa nura (Ngurra-wa)

And you got nothing to prove
Standing up on your feet
Even though people like to see you
Living down on your knees
To the big sister, little sister
Take me into your arms
Well, there's a secret in the river
And the river is deep
You don't need to fear the future
If you see what I see

And I'm high there, walking with you again
Tell me how it was in
The beginning of our land
We're like the Dreamtime
Shedding our skin again

I open up my eyes underwater
I just open up my eyes underwater (O oh)
I open up my eyes underwater
I just open up my eyes under, uh
Under the water

Hold yourself in it, brace yourself with it
Oh, hold yourself in it
Brace yourself with it
Hold yourself in it, brace yourself with it
Sweet water, get in it and
Brace yourself with it, Singing

Yanada yanada yanada marri yanada
Gumada, gumada, nula burra-wa
Yanada yanada yanada, walama yanama la
Gumada, gumada wa nura (Ngurra-wa)
Yanada yanada yanada marri yanada
Gumada, gumada, nula burra-wa
Yanada yanada yanada, walama yanama la
Wa nura wa nura (Ngurra-wa)
Yanada yanada yanada marri yanada
Gumada, gumada, nula burra-wa (Sweet water)
Yanada yanada yanada, walama yanama la
Gumada, gumada wa nura (Ngurra-wa)
Yanada yanada yanada marri yanada
Gumada, gumada, nula burra-wa
Yanada yanada yanada, walama yanama la
(Sweet water, get in it
Brace yourself with it, Singing)
Wa nura wa nura (Ngurra-wa)
