Our Saturday evening practice group is back after a two-week pause, and last Saturday night we transcribed and translated this song. In this song, the singer wonders if his sweetheart has found someone else, as she appears to no longer have feelings for him. This post includes Chamorro lyrics and an English translation for the song O’sun Yu’ by Daniel De Leon Guerrero. Happy listening!

Ai håfa yu’ kirida na esta ti ya-mu	Oh why sweetheart is it that you already don’t like me
Na todus matulaika i kustumbre-mu	That all of your customs/manners have changed
Pat put i esta mañodda’ hao otru ki guahu	Or is it because you already found another besides me
Na kulang esta ti mangguaiya hao neni nu guahu	That it’s like you already don’t love me / have love for me

Ai o’sun yu’ mañiku dåggan kada måttu yu’ ai gi gima	Oh I’m tired of kissing butt every time I come home
Put i bai matoktok, bai machiku, ai maseha mana’boka	So that I will be hugged, I will be kissed, or even to be fed
Pues håfa yu’ kirida na esta ti un guaiya	So why, sweetheart, do you not love me anymore
Na todus kustumbre-mu manmatulaika	That all of your customs/manners have been changed
Ai sangåni yu’ neni ya bai kuntentu	Tell me, baby, and I will be content
Ya bai hu tungo’ na esta mañodda’ hao mås ki guahu	And I will know that you’ve already found someone better (more) than me
