(Every month or so (ideally) the Guam Museum will be sharing something in the CHamoru language about our history, culture and folklore. This month we’ll share a short poem written by Siñora Ann Rivera in celebration of Ha’ånen Graduasion or Graduation Day.)
Biba Todos ni’ Manmagradua!
Dångkolo’ na ha’åni
Fumafana’ hamyo på’go.
Dångkolo’ na disision
Munanangga hamyo lokkue’
Håfa mohon para en che’ gue?
Håfa mohon para en bida?
Håfa mohon para i lina’la’-miyu?
På’go nai manmagraduha hamyo?
Bula chålan para manmapokkati.
Meggal direksion para manmachule’.
Håfa kao este? Håfa kao ayu?
Ayek maolek, ayek fåyi.
Achokka ha’ bula pineddong
Kåhat hamyo ta’lo.
Fanachu tunas gi disision-miyu
Sa’ manmagraduha hamyo på’ go
Para i chinatsaga yan minagof i tano’.
