taitai måsThis is an old Chamorro song, which is still popular today, about a chapel in the “Valley of Dreams.” It’s a lovely song for weddings, and this is a new rendition from the Tradewinds album sung by the singer from Microchild, Shannon Sengebau McManus. If you’re a beginner in Chamorro, this is a great song to learn for its pleasant tune and easy lyrics. In this post are Chamorro lyrics and an English translation for the song I Kapiya. Happy listening!

Taitai MåsWhen I first listened to this song, Jay and I were driving on the Oregon Coast. He was playing Chamorro music to help train my ear, and often said, “Listen to the song and repeat the words.” My listening in the Chamorro language is not very good and Jay knows this. He really knows this. So he often teases me and says, “You just don’t like to listen!” But my anwer is always,” That’s not true! My ear is bad in every language!” This is true – whether it’s English or Chamorro, I can’t always hear words and sentences clearly! But on that particular sunny drive down the Oregon Coast I was able to make out the words to this song by Ti Nåpu, and I hope you enjoy it. This post includes Chamorro lyrics and an English translation for their song Guinaiya. Happy listening!
