| Abstract: | Abstract Folk literature refers to the traditional stories, songs, proverbs, myths, legends, riddles, and ballads that are passed down orally from one generation to another. It is a collective expression of the values, beliefs, customs, and imagination of a community. Since it is rooted in oral tradition, folk literature often exists in multiple versions, shaped by storytellers and audiences over time. Folk literature of Australia reflects the diverse cultural traditions, beliefs, and experiences of its people. At its core, it draws heavily from the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander oral traditions, which are among the oldest continuous storytelling practices in the world, dating back over 60,000 years. These stories, often called the Dreamtime or Dreaming narratives, explain the origins of the land, the creation of animals, plants, rivers, and mountains, as well as moral and social laws for living. The Djanggawul Song Cycle is a significant collection of nearly 188 songs that detail the voyages of three ancestral figures: the sisters, 'Bildjiwuraroiju' and 'Miralaidj' and their brother, 'Djanggawul.' These songs describe how the existence of their community came into being, the establishment of social order, and the relationship between the land, people, and spiritual forces. "Song 1" from The Djanggawul Cycle is not a single work of poem. It is a part of a ritual chant in Yolngu language, recorded and translated by Ronald M.Berndt. The ancestral beings of this Song Cycle - two sisters and one brother journey towards Arnhem Land from Bralgu. The entire Song Cycle is all about the mythological tradition of the Yolngu people of Arnhem Land. The three great ancestral beings came from an island in the east (Bralgu) and traveled across Arnhem Land.They brought fertility to the land, creating plants, animals, and waterholes. They established law and custom, giving people ceremonies, kinship structures, and sacred knowledge.They named places and left behind sacred objects, songs, and rituals. The entire Song Cycle often deal with birth and fertility, making it both sacred and symbolic of life’s generative forces. |
