Lots of love from natives of Texas to our natives brothers in

I lived in East Arnhem Land as a kid, and still live in the Top End. This band did the Northern Territory and Indigenous Australians so proud.

"Words are easy, words are cheap
Much cheaper than our priceless land"

Damn. Beautiful poetry and burning indictment all in one.

"Promises can disappear like writing in the sand"
Should become the classic line for Australian politicians.

When he sings it in his language gives me goosebumps, so much soul. Very good! 👍🏽🤙🏽

Yothu Yindi will always remain a legend, still no treaty....
Being a aboriginal, makes me proud.
Edit: thanks for the likes :)

This is one of the best bands Australia has produced. I love that they sing in language and not just English, and that they incorporate traditional instruments and dance.

[CarolYost]

I’m a White American and I love Yothu Yindi’s music. I’ve listened to it for years. I love the fact that the band is both Aboriginal and White, and uses both trad rock and Aboriginal instruments. You rock, Yothu Yindi!

[argebarse]

i'm a white aussie, got a huge amount of respect for the indigenous peoples of this land, living here for millennia

and I love this kind of music

[vincentkoliadi]

Jamming up here in PNG. Respect to my fellow brothers down south.. Treaty Yeah, Treaty Now 🇵🇬❤🖤💛

[lee]

Just heard this song for the first time in my fifty plus years on this planet, it’s an absolute banger. Much respect to the indigenous people of Australia and their culture.

[michellea]

As a black and Native American, I can relate to this music which touches my soul at the end we are all one black family! Just Amazing!!! Love💖and respects to our native Australians 🇦🇺

[oliverchristensen]

Rest in peace, Mandawuy Yunupingu. We won't forget you or your message.

[symphonyinkart]

I tell ya what. I’m a metal head and that didjeridoo sound, and chorus gets me every time. Just close my eyes and bop. Aboriginals know how to make music

Yothu Yindi the man

[joe.]

Well I heard it on the radio
And I saw it on the television
Back in 1988
All those talking politicians
Words are easy, words are cheap
Much cheaper than our priceless land
But promises can disappear
Just like writing in the sand

Treaty Yeh Treaty Now
Treaty Yeh Treaty Now

Nhima Djatpangarri nhima walangwalang -
Nhe Djatpayatpa nhima gaya nhe-
Matjini.... Yakarray - nhe Djat'pa nhe walang - Gumurrtijararrk Gutjuk -

This land was never given up
This land was never bought and sold
The planting of the Union Jack
Never changed our law at all

Now two rivers run their course
Separated for so long
I'm dreaming of a brighter day
When the waters will be one

Treaty Yeh Treaty Now Treaty Yeh Treaty Now
Treaty Yeh Treaty Now Treaty Yeh Traty Now

Nhima djatpa nhe walang
gumurrtjararrk yawirriny Nhe gaya nhe matjini
Gaya nhe matjini Gaya gaya nhe gaya nhe
Matjini walangwalang Nhema djatpa nhe walang - Nhe gumurrtjarrk nhe ya-

Promises - Disappear - Priceless land - Destiny -

Well I heard it on the Radio - And I saw it on the Television
But promises can be broken Just like writing in the sand

Treaty Yeh
Treaty Now ....
