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 by Dr. Ramon Manalisay Sablan. The Chamorro version, which came later, was the work of Lagrimas Untalan.

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.

[edit] Chamorro lyrics

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.

[edit] English lyrics

Stand ye Guamanians for your country

And sing her praise from shore to shore

For her honor, for her glory

Exalt our isle forever more.

For her honor, for her glory

Exalt our isle forever more.

May everlasting peace reign o'er us

May heaven's blessing to us come

Against all peril, do not forsake us

God protect our isle of Guam.

Against all peril, do not forsake us

God protect our isle of Guam.
