La mar estaba serena

La mar estaba serena, serena estaba la mar
Las_estrellas estaban brillando, brillando_estaban brillando
The sea was quiet and peaceful, peacefully quiet was the sea
The moon was shining so brightly, shining bright was the moon
This mermaid said that she loved me, the mermaid asked me to love her

 



The Acknowledgment Song           Jemma King

We acknowledge the land on which we now stand
Has always been (insert country name) country
We pay our respect to elders past
Those present and those of the future
We acknowledge the land on which we now stand
Has always been (insert country name) country
We pay our respect to elders past
Those present and those of the future
For thousands and thousands of years
First Nations peoples cared for our country
We pay our respect to the oldest continuous
Living culture in the world
We acknowledge the land on which we now stand
Has always been (insert country name) country
We pay our respect to elders past
Those present and those of the future
We acknowledge the land on which we now stand
Will always be (insert country name) country

Guidance was sought from Marie Taylor, Merinda Hansen and Della Rae Morrison when writing the
Acknowledgement Song. Before singing, please clarify with the traditional custodians, the name of the country
you are upon, and change lyrics accordingly. As a reference, you may wish to consult the AIATSIS Map of
