Birak birak

Birak birak,

Breathe out, the end of the year

Birak birak,

Long dreamy summer days, life restoring sun rays

Birak birak, gather in the year

Birak birak,

Relax, the holidays are near,

Birak birak,

The season of giving, receiving and sharing

Birak birak, happy new year

Birak is coming

Peppy trees are flowering

The Moodja tree is blossoming and Christmas time is near

Birak Bonar

Chorus:

Mirrda-Yoont is the colour

Of the flowering Moodja

At Christmas time

Ngalak yeyi wort koorl mambakoort (we now travel to the ocean)

Birak bonar kwobidak (Birak season is beautiful)

1. Ngalak yeyi wort koorl mambakoort (we now travel to the ocean)

Nidja Norma ngany wording nort (at the beach I throw my scent)

Birak bonar moort nyininy (in Birak season family are sitting)

Dookerniny wer ngarning mereny (cooking and eating food)

2. Koorlanga waabininy djipa-djopaliny (children are playing and swimming)

Baalang yookil wer narla (getting seaweed and seashells)

Birak bonar moort nyininy (in Birak season family are sitting)

Dookerniny wer ngarning mereny (cooking and eating food)

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Let your heart be light

Next year all our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

Make the Yuletide gay

Next year all our troubles will be miles away

Once again as in olden days

Happy golden days of yore

Faithful friends who were dear to us

Will be near to us once more

Someday soon we all will be together

If the Fates allow

Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow

So have yourself a merry little Christmas now.

Silent Night

Silent night, holy night,
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin mother and child!
Holy Infant so tender and mild,
Sleep in heavenly peace,
Sleep in heavenly peace.

Silent night, holy night,
Darkness flies, all is light;
Shepherds hear the angels sing,
"Alleluia! hail the King!
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born."

Silent night, holy night,
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face,
With the dawn of redeeming grace,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth,
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth.

Silent night, holy night,
Wondrous star, lend the light;
With the angels let us sing
Alleluia to our King;
Christ the Savior is born,
Christ the Savior is born.

Long Time Sun

May the long-time sun

Shine upon you
All love surround you
And the pure light
Within you
Guide your way on
Guide your way on

Angels We Have Heard on High

Angels we have heard on high,

Singing sweetly through the night

And the mountains in reply

Echoing their brave delight

Gloria in excelsis Deo

Shepherds, why this jubilee?

Why these songs of happy cheer?

What great brightness did you see?

What glad tidings did you hear?

Come to Bethlehem and see

Him whose birth the angels sing

Come, adore, on blended knee

Christ, the Lord, the new-born King

Three Drovers

Across the plains one Christmas night
Three drovers riding blithe and gay
Looked up and saw a starry light
More radiant than the Milky Way
And on their hearts such wonder fell
They sang with joy. 'Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel!'

The air was dry with summer heat
And smoke was on the yellow moon
But from the heavens, faint and sweet
Came floating down a wond'rous tune
And as they heard, they sang full well
Those drovers three. 'Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel! Noel!'

The black swans flew across the sky
The wild dog called across the plain
The starry lustre blazed on high
Still echoed on the heavenly strain
And still they sang, 'Noel! Noel!'
Those drovers three. 'Noel! Noel!

So this is Christmas

And what have you done

Another year over

And a new one just begun

And so this is Christmas

I hope you have fun

The near and the dear one

The old and the young

A very Merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

And so this is Christmas (war is over)

For weak and for strong (if you want it)

For rich and the poor ones (war is over)

The road is so long (now)

And so happy Christmas (war is over)

For black and for white (if you want it)

For yellow and red ones (war is over)

Let's stop all the fight (now)

A very Merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

And so this is Christmas (war is over)

And what have we done (if you want it)

Another year over (war is over)

And a new one just begun (now)

And so happy Christmas (war is over)

We hope you have fun (if you want it)

The near and the dear one (war is over)

The old and the young (now)

A very Merry Christmas

And a happy New Year

Let's hope it's a good one

Without any fear

War is over, if you want it

War is over now

Ocean Breath

Ocean breath, breathing me,

Ocean breath breathing,

Ocean breath, breathing me.

Mambakoort, wowak, wowak ngaan.

Mambakoort, wowakiny,

Mambakoort, wowak, wowak ngaan.

Mary’s Boy Child

Long time ago in Bethlehem

So the Holy Bible says

Mary’s boy child Jesus Christ

Was born in Bethlehem

Hark now hear the angels sing, a king is born today

And we shall live forever more because of Christmas Day

Now Joseph and his wife Mary

Came to Bethlehem that night

They found a place to bear her child

Not a single room was in sight

Hark now hear the angels sing, a king is born today

And we shall live forever more because of Christmas Day

Then they found a little nook

In a stable all forlorn

And in a manger cold and dark

Mary’s little boy was born

Hark now hear the angels sing, a king is born today

And we shall live forever more because of Christmas Day

Hark now hear the angels sing, a king is born today

And we shall live forever more because of Christmas Day

Oh Christmas Tree

Oh Christmas tree Oh Christmas tree, sacred Moodja blossoming

Oh Christmas tree Oh Christmas tree, so beautiful to see.

Mooditj Moodja

Ngalak Koort noonook mooditj moodja

Wer Djeriban Birak.

Kwob kaatijan boorongalak

Noonook wer noonoong moort

Ngalak Koort noonook mooditj moodja

Wer Djeriban Birak.

We wish you a merry christmas.

We wish you a merry christmas

And a happy new year

Good tidings we bring to you and your kin

We wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year.
