Chamorro Music and Lyrics | Binenu | JD Crutch

Sharing Chamorro music and lyrics of the song Binenu by the legend JD Crutch. I believe this particular song was intended to be the Chamorro version of the song Island Snowman written by Frank "Country" Reyes which addresses Guam's war on drugs around the time of and after the Vietnam War. Enjoy and continue to learn and share the Chamorro culture and language through songs. Please see lyrics below:
BINENU:
Ai kao un hasso anai pa'go hao matto Guam
Ai un chulele' magi ha' i binenu ginen Vietnam
Ai ya un sangan che'lu na ni ngai'an na un kineni
Yanggen eyu ha pa'un choggue para un nginge'
Ai nina’anglo tataotao-mu i che'lu-hu
Ya nisita un yute enao i binenu
Sa hagu todo i tiempo in hahasso
Ai hafa taimanu na un sedi na un na' dimu
Ai hafa taimanu na un sedi i che'lu-hu
Ai dalai ya ti un hasso siha i minagof gi lancho
Ya pa'go eyu ha' malago-mu i pa'un asu
Nisita che'lu un yute enao i binenu
Sa’ si nana yan tata ti mumaigo
Sa' hagu todo i tiempo ma hahasso
Un na' fanekkon todo i taotatao guihi
Anai annok guihi na ha'ane
Anai ma aresta hao
Ya pa'go mananaitai hao para hu lachadek
Lao i hues ha' siῆa hao sumangani hafa para un choggue
Siῆa ha pine'lo hao che'lu-hu ai gi presu
Siῆa ha pine'lo hao che'lu-hu ai gi presu
Este chansa-mu para un yute enao i binenu
Ya i muna tres na ha'ane na un sotta i che'lu-hu
Sa' i binenu ha'a'gang lina'la-mu
Si nana-mu kumasao gi maigo-na ta'lo

Can’t thank you enough for providing lyrics 🙏🙏🙏 as a kid I tried to listen to this song and write down the lyrics but there were so many fast phrases that defuentun JD used that I could’ve never possibly interpreted unless I sat down with a fluent speaker of our language. Talu na si yu’us ma’ase 🙏
