Listening to this song - reminds me of my younger days - hope some of my past boyfriends can find it in their hearts to forgive me for being young and not understanding the power of Love, back then.
Its strange to me that many young kids and older ones don't understand Chamorru or speak it and they were raised there. I left with my auntie and grandma when I was four but I speak fluently and understand chamorru up to now. I don't know whats happening back there but I wish to go back and help any way possible! That being said Hafa Adai to everyone back there! Guahan Pride!
@pablezey: The thing about that is that in many cases, parents wanted to raise their children speaking English because they were persecuted for speaking their native tongue in schools. They could only speak English in the schools and it wasn't until about 1987 when the language started to be taught in schools to try to bring it back. My parents didn't want me having problems in school so we were raised in English. Guam is like any other place that was colonized--persecuted and oppressed.

I really don't understand why it is some people state they are chamorro and are so quick to proudly make it known that they do not understand the language!! It is SO sad that the chamorro language and culture is dying...especially from the guamanians...OUR heritage is something we should all be proud of, embrace, teach... and pass down to generations....it is our legacy. It is our gift to all our children.
It's becoming a HUGE come back dude. There's many movements to save it, and it's being tought in schools ect. I'm Chamorru, I don't know it very well, but I am trying to learn, and one day take a few classes in Guam once i get to go there.
I agree. This is what the Americans have done to the Chamorro culture... making people want to speak English look cool. That's why I sense that there is tension between the Chamorros from Guam versus the Chamorros in Islas Marianas del Norte. this is coming from a Filipino who speaks Spanish. I also understand the "dying" culture because we have that in Las Filipinas too. That's why I refuse to speak English or Tagalog but my mother's language, Cebuano to save my culture.
great job on the translation.... I to am a native born chamorro. family from chalan Pago as well the PEREZ FAMILIA- (Anta Family) old stomping grounds Dededo, lada gardens, latte heights... Hafa Adai primo's and prima's
i'm chamorro too and i can't really understand it, but i can pick out a few words and phrases that i've learned. Basically the song is saying that he went to a girls house and her mom answered saying that she was already seeing someone else and he regrets not going to her sooner.
Love this song from KC. saipanese of course :). Buenas to all my chamorros! Would love to see a Chamorro Mega Concert. meant to say learn to speak chamorro on my previous reply
I came to visit tonight, When I knocked on the door your mother answered, I asked your mother if we can meet. But she said that, Oh son, you are late in your arrival, my daughter has gone with another, She has waited for long time here, please don't be sad.
I told your mother that night, thank you for I now I understand, its my fault for being late for coming here. I can stand the sadness and missing her
I went back home, all night I thought, I could not sleep, it is hard for me to forget what her mom had said, Oh my son..etc etc.
This was bought to you from a Saipanese with some white mixed in.If I made any mistakes, I am sorry since i was translating as the song was being sung.
I grew up in Saipan listening to this songs with the boys singing at Micro Beach while having a BBQ . Spent a summer in Saipan with the boys and you will know what it means to be chamorro.
I am half Chamorro I dont know the language but would like to learn but dont have anyone to teach me my father was born an raised on the island but he passed so I would like to learn more about my heritage! I love to listen to the music even though i have o idea what they are sayin!
