Say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming? Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro’ the perilous fight, O’re the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming. And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro’ the night that our flag was still there. Oh!, Say does that star-spangled banner yet wave O’re the land and of the free and the home of the brave? The Guam Hymn Ramon Manalisay Sablan, M.D. (1934) Translated to Chamorro by Lagrimas Untalan Fanoghe Chamorro put it tano’-ta Kanta I matuna-na gi todu I lugat. Para I honra, para I gloriha Abiba I isla, sin parat. Para I honra, para I gloriha Abiba I isla, sin parat. U todu I tiempo I pas para hita Yan ginen I langet na bendesion. Kontra I piligru, na’fansafu ham Yu’os protehi I isla Guåhån. Kontra I piligru, na’fansafu ham Yu’os protehi I isla Guåhån. University Alma Mater Music by R. Mannoni On the shore of the Western Pacific Stands our Alma Mater true. We’ll long retain the memories Of the days we spent with you. In the warmth of the island magic, We will return some day. Join in and sing a song of praise. 20 Hail, oh hail. Hail, oh hail. Our University.
