Fanohge Chamoru English: Stand Ye Guamanians
Territorial anthem of
Guam
Lyrics Ramon Manalisay Sablan Music Ramon Manalisay Sablan Adopted 1919 Stand Ye Guamanians (Chamorro: Fanohge CHamoru), generically known as The Guam Hymn, is the official territorial anthem of Guam. Adopted in 1919, the words and music were written in English by Dr. Ramon Manalisay Sablan. The Chamorro translation was the work of Lagrimas L.G. Untalan; it is this later version that enjoys wider usage today.
As a United States dependency, the official national anthem is still the "Star Spangled Banner", which is always played before the Guam Hymn on official occasions. The Guam Hymn, however, is played alone at international sports competitions.
Chamorro
- Fanohge Chamoru put i tano'-ta
- Kånta i ma tunå-ña gi todu i lugåt.
- Para i onra, para i gloria
- Abiba i isla sen parat.
- Para i onra, para i gloria
- Abiba i isla sen parat.
- U todu i tiempo i pas para hita
- Yan ginen i langet na bendesion.
- Kontra i piligru, na'fansåfo' ham
- Yu'os prutehi i islan Guåhan.
- Kontra i piligru, na'fansåfo' ham
- Yu'os prutehi i islan Guåhan.
