When 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!

Taitai MåsHunggan by JJ Concepcion – Chamorro Lyrics and English Translation
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!
