My name is Windradyne I am Wurundjeri You may not know my face Or my history I was born on the plains Before the white man come With his cattle and his sheep The horses and the gun As a child I can recall The song lines that we sang Hunt possum kangaroo With spear and boomerang One day in the bush Stood three ghostly men Who said our land is their’s And the trouble soon began My name is Windradyne They call me Saturday Come Sunday I’ll be gone In the bush I melt away I fought for my people On this country where I lay My name is Windradyne Remember me that way Letras de canciones I see smoke of many fires In the morning light Some are ours some are their’s Left burning through the night I know they tried to pin me For the trouble on King’s Plane But I threw a spear in self defence Of a musket in the rain My name is Windradyne They call me Saturday Come Sunday I’ll be gone In the bush I melt away I fought for my people On this country where I lay My name is Windradyne Remember me that way We came across a Homestead Lit by candle light Thirsty for revenge From our camp attack last night A white boy met us at the door Speaking native tongue We left his house and headed off As quietly as we come And just like every story This one has an end Without all the glory Bestowed on other men They increased the reward To try and change my luck But my people who fought with me well Never gave me up My name is Windradyne They call me Saturday Come Sunday I’ll be gone In the bush I melt away I fought for my people On this country where I lay My name is Windradyne Remember me that way My name is Windradyne Remember me that way From Letras Mania
