Ai Kika’ by Pacific Cool – Chamorro Lyrics and English Translation
I’m trying to make my way through our evening practice group’s backlog of songs that we transcribed over the last year and post them to this blog so we can all reference them for our learning.

Here are Chamorro lyrics and an English translation for the song “Ai Kika'” by Pacific Cool, hope you enjoy it!

In our evening practice group, I’ve been pushing Jay to include more songs from Daniel DeLeon Guerrero because his use of the language is fun and deep, the storytelling is always enjoyable, and I’m always guaranteed to pick up new words or phrases. I can’t count the number of times I learn a new word (to me) in Chamorro, only for Jay to say, “Oh, I’ve heard that word used in a song.” And it’s usually a song by Daniel DeLeon Guerrero! So here are Chamorro lyrics and an English translation for the song “Åchu’ Natibu” by Daniel DeLeon Guerrero, which is a song about Åchu’ Fouha that includes Chaifi (god of fire). Hope you enjoy it!

We’re finally feeling the change of the seasons here in the Pacific Northwest, as summer transitions to fall. For the first time in almost a decade, the change of seasons is also accompanied by a change of scene because I’m moving to a new city! So it has been quite busy the last 2 weeks, but I’m almost done with the move and can start settling in. As Jay and I pack and unpack things, we usually put on a Chamorro music playlist, and this song has been a recent favorite of mine. It also seems fitting as we approach the beginning of October. So here are some Chamorro lyrics and an English translation for the song “Tronkon Nunu” by Kelvin Duenas that our study group did a few weeks back. Listen and enjoy!
