This past Saturday Jay started his evening practice group again, and it was just three of us – we forgot to send out a reminder until we were already in the room! A newer learner who just started on their learning journey at the end of last year joined, so we had her listen to and transcribe the song Kirida by Joe Garrido. And she did such a great job! It has been really cool to see her push herself in her learning, and to see her progress over these last few months. 🙂 Since I already put that song on my blog, my new song for this week is Gaige gi fi’on-mu by JJ Concepcion. It’s sung at an easy pace and is a good song for beginners. This post includes the Chamorro lyrics and an English translation. Happy listening!

Kåntan Chamoru: Un Na’Magof Yu’
Biba Ha’ånen Guinaiya, todus hamyo! In honor of today, here’s another Chamorro love song. It’s especially helpful for beginners because the lyrics are clear and the lines are repeated many times. So here are Chamorro lyrics and an English translation for the song “Un Na’magof Yu’ ” by JJ Concepcion. Happy listening!

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!
