Kahulu Chamoru, mungga manao

In 1521, Magellan sailed the ocean blue
Landed on our island from whence the wind blew
Massacred our islands, burned our home
How can it compare to a boat, iron, and rope
How could we defend against bullets and guns
Against armada fleets with slings and stone
Branded by a name to last through all of time
Listen up Maneulos we're accused of a crime

Kahulu Chamoru, mungga manao
Pale San Vitores, Legaspi and his crew
Dubbed us thieves & savages, like animals in a zoo
La Islas La Drones is what we are named
For cultural clashes for the food & warmth we gave
These Euro-ruffians changed our sacred way of life
Promoting new gods, new diseases and strife
Does this make us thieves, to be robbed of culture
A tiny spec of land amongst wolves and vultures

Kahulu Chamoru, mungga manao

In 1941 a new terror washed ashore
Pillaged our islands turned our beaches into gore
This beast from the east was unstoppable, too strong
Native naiveties could not fight what was wrong
They raped our daughters and they killed our sons
Slanted eyed aliens from the Land of the Rising Sun
How can we forgive all these crimes of war
Will it bring our chelus back from oh so very far

Kahulu Chamoru, mungga manao
Fan honnge Chamoru, para i taotao
Kahulu Chamoru, mungga manao
Fan honnge Chamoru, para i taotao

Finally a friend came and gave us liberation
Red, white, and blue were the colors of his nation
This strange new creature seemed so friendly & so kind
Gave us his candy, made us drink his wine
Little did we know what intentions he had
Until we lost our culture, our government, our land
La Islas La Drones is the island for thieves
Hafa lai Chamoru ko pun sungun ha este

Kahulu Chamoru, mungga manao
Fan honnge Chamoru, para i taotao
Kahulu Chamoru, mungga man manao
Fan honnge Chamoru, para i taotao
