THE CORROBBOREE. 37 



arises, when with a loud shout they all throw their 

 hands above their heads and the dance ceases, when 

 they retreat to commence again after a little. 



One of their corrobboree chants, as given by Mr. 

 Brough Smith, is as follows: 



" Puntin narrinyerar, 



Puntin narrinyerar, O, O, 0, 

 Yun terpulani ar, 



Tuppim an wangamar, 

 Tyiwewar ngoppun ar, 0, O, O, 



Puntin narrinyerar," etc. 



The above is thus translated: 



" The narinyeri are coming, 



Soon they will appear, 

 Carrying kangaroos ; 

 Quickly they are coming. " 



The following is said to be a great favorite as a 

 corrobboree song: 



"Berri berri ma jildomba, 

 Berri berri ma jildomba, 

 Berri berri. ma jildomba-naga, 

 Athen jindema no goi-eela, 

 Jindema, jindema O-en-dethen-o, 

 Warrim bang-e, berri berri ma jildomba-a, 

 Berri berri ma jildomba, 

 Berri berri ma jildomba."
