Im not sure this is correct. From my research this appears to be a traditional song from the Torres Strait Islands, its meaning however, is not known. The actually spelling of the song is Inanay Gupu Wana.

"its a song in Yorta Yorta, the language of 1 of the Aboriginal tribes of Victoria. i cant translate it but is apparently a song about a goanna, the 'choo' is shooing the goanna away. The word 'goanna' is the English name for the animal, it was their closest approximation of the name Aboriginals used for the animal. in the song you can here how similar it is"
