Kåntan Chamoru: Hunggan

Before I translated this, I knew one word from the song: yes. I often sang this word to Jay: “Huuuuuuuuungan.” But I did not know the singer or the other words. Jay asked me, “Is that a real Chamoru song?” because he didn’t recognize it. So I am putting this song on my blog because I want to show him that, yes, this is a real song. This post includes Chamorro lyrics and an English translation for the song Hunggan by JJ Concepcion. Happy listening!
