Paraphrase of Dreamtime Poem

In this homeland, Australia the invaders had arrived and take the place, the Aborigines that has become a stranger now, come to their spirit Ancestors with sorrow in their heart.

The Bora Ring (sacred place) and The Corroborees (Rituals ceremony) that once was Aborigines’ have all destroyed and gone.

The Aborigines ask their previous spirit Ancestors to listen to their complaint about their grievances and suffering.

They come not to disturb the rest of their Ancestors, but they come to grieve their Ancestors’ death.

The Ancestors that has been sacrificed for the life of their race (Aborigines) when the invaders split their blood (Aborigines’ blood)

Now, the present generation of Aborigines is seeking the strength and the wisdom that their Ancestors have in the past.

One legend told that when their race dies, their land also dies.

The Aborigines ask their spirit Ancestors to go with them from the land that has been taken away from them.

The Aborigines also ask their spirit Ancestors wake from their sleeping and lead them to the happy life that they can feel in the past before the invaders come.

Finally, the Aborigines only ask their spirit Ancestors to listen to their cries. They have felt desperate and giving up to their fate.
