History and usage
Adopted in 1919, the words and music were written in English by Dr. Ramon Manalisay Sablan. The Chamorro translation was the work of Lagrimas Untalan, and 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.
Lyrics
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.

gollark: It doesn't seem like ubq will make the container contain multiple submissions at once.
gollark: Or brute-force all possible permutations and see if the other string is one of them (case/space-insensitive).
gollark: Oh, or work out the minimal sequence of transpositions to give you the other string and see if it, well, exists or not?
