Sunset 06:36
Sunset - Ruka Ruka I'm getting homesick, I want to go back, Home is still living by itself, For a long time I haven't been back, There is a place I grew up in the East, and every sunset in a different place somebody else's land, I'm standing by myself wondering, Sun is going down and the night came, I'm lying down in my bed thinking about my homeland, Punmu Parngurr Kunawaritji, Its our home for martu people, (Kartugarra warnmun margiljarra) Its Our Home
