milaythina nika milaythina-mana   This land is my land
 
tapilti larapuna, tapilti putalina     From Eddystone Point, to Oyster Cove
 
tapilti kunanyi, tapilti tayaritja      From Mount Wellington to the Bass Strait Islands
 
milaythina nika waranta pakana    This land is us blackfellas
 
waranta palawa, milaythina nika   We blackfellas are this land
