Kåntan Chamoru: Hu Faisen Hao

Here is another Pacific Cool song that came up on Jay’s playlist this weekend when we were getting ready to go to Port Orchard to visit his family. I always sing along to the chorus whenever it plays, and decided it was time to put this on the blog! It’s another song with a nice tune about something sad (getting clear signals from someone that they don’t want to be with you anymore, but they won’t be honest with you and end things). Here are Chamorro lyrics and an English translation for the song Hu Faisen Hao by Pacific Cool. Happy listening!

ChamoruEnglish
Hu faisen hao para ta famokkat gi chalanI asked you to walk on the road (together)
Lao hågu mamåhlaoBut you are the one who is ashamed
Håfa neni na taiguini?Why, baby, is it like this?
Ti ya-mu na ta mali’e’You don’t like for us to be seen
Hu mantieni i kannai-muI held your hand
Lao un hålla, un na’suha gi kannai-huBut you pulled it away, you removed it from my hand
Ai hu tungo’ ha’ na ya-mu yu’Oh, I do know that you like me
Lao guaha mås ki guahuBut there is someone (you like) more than me
Lao håfa neni nai na taiguenao hao?But why, baby, are you that way?
Buente ti ya-mu yu’ esta na átungo’-muYou probably already don’t like me as your boyfriend
Lao na’tungo’ yu’ ya mungnga’ na ti bai hu tungo’But let me know and don’t make it so that I will not know
