Lambudju’s comments are as follows: ‘I just said that’s the name of the place, Djappana. Djappana is near tjine rakje [‘what’s that place?’] the mouth of the Daly River, that Djappana, that’s the name of the place. I just keep on repeating it, same word all the way.’ Ruby Yarrowin, an Emmi speaker, told us that Djappana is on the northern shore of the Daly River.
Lambudju sings the song almost identically on all four tracks, except that on track 22 he adds a third vocal and instrumental section.
