Inanay Gupu Wana

On the 27th of May, the Preps were in charge of running the school's assembly. Since it is Reconciliation Week, they decided to sing a traditional Indigenous song which has been made into a lullaby. It's called 'Inanay Gupu Wana' and is sung by Lou Bennett, a Yorta Yorta woman. She sings the song (see youtube) with her friends in her band Tiddas. 

The preps had been practicing for weeks and have added their own variations to the song, such as hand gestures and using rocks to keep the beat.

Enjoy!



Lyrics

Inanay gupu wanna
Inanay gupu wanna

Ay ay ay oola 
Olla olla olla ay
Yippee yay yipee yay

Goo wana goo wana
Goo wana go wanna
Goo Wah - CHOO!
