"G’day Mate: An Aussie Translation Song"

Verse 1

When you step off the plane and you’re feelin' bright,

You'll hear "G’day, mate!"—it just means “hi.”

And if someone’s "shouting" in a pub or a bar,

Don’t cover your ears—they’re buying your jar!

"Chorus"

It’s the Aussie way to keep things short,

We call breakfast “brekky” and sports are “sport.”

So “no worries” here if you’re feeling confused,

Aussie lingo's laid-back, friendly, and loose!

Verse 2

If a bloke says “She’ll be right,” don’t be dismayed,

It just means “It’s fine,” so don’t be afraid.

And when you hear “Fair dinkum” in the Aussie slang,

It’s true as blue, it's the real thing, man!

"Chorus"

It’s the Aussie way to keep things short,

We call breakfast “brekky” and sports are “sport.”

So “no worries” here if you’re feeling confused,

Aussie lingo's laid-back, friendly, and loose!

Bridge

If they say “Good on ya” or call you “a ripper,”

They think you’re great, so stand a bit stiffer!

And if you’re “knackered,” you’re just plain tired,

But “stoked” means you’re happy, even inspired!

Verse 3

When you’re “flat out like a lizard drinking” too,

It just means you’re busy with things to do!

And if they say “you’re cactus” or "a bit dodgy,”

You’re broken or strange—but not at all stodgy!

"Chorus"

It’s the Aussie way to keep things short,

We call breakfast “brekky” and sports are “sport.”

So “no worries” here if you’re feeling confused,

Aussie lingo's laid-back, friendly, and loose!

Outro

So take it easy, have a laugh and a yarn,

You’ll be speaking Aussie on your holiday farm!

With “too right” and “onya” and “fair go” in tow,

In no time, mate, you’ll be in the know!
