Hi there . Although I am a native speaker I just can �t make out the last sentence of the chorus in Lou Bradley �s Uluru which reads: Have you ever seen the rain fall down on Uluru? Have you ever listened to that sound Of the Earth and fire and wind and water ? Have you ever heard the stories of life?
(..........................................................................................? ???) Any ideas? |

I so love that song (and her music in general) but I can�t make out that part of the chorus either (and I�m an Aussie!)
........... all around
In one part of the video it sounds like to goodbye all around and in another it sounds like that you could buy all around but I really don�t know.
Cheers
Jayho

I thought I heard, "Have you ever heard the stories of life combined all in one" but then I listened at a slowere rate and it sounds more like "good-bye all around" as Jayho sugested. |

This has been bugging me and I�m happy to say that I have now solved it.
It�s: Tjukurpa all around.
Tjukurpa is an indigenous word used by the people of Uluru and means the foundation of their culture. Tannith was spot on!
Pronounced �chook-orr-pa�.
I can rest easy now and also assure you that if you ever have the opportunity to visit Uluru you�ll experience that Tjukurpa all around.
Cheers
Jayho
P.S. Val - thank you. Actually, through this I discovered that she changed her website URL because when I clicked on the link in my doc it went to a Chinese site! Of course I have now updated it. |

@Jayho, I wish I could visit Uluru....Maybe one day. I do thank you for your great work, which gives us so much information about a far-away country, that still represents a dream to many French people. I love the cultural work you �ve sent us ; just letting you know! Best regards from Northern France, Val |
