For those who have asked, here are the lyrics loosely translated, just glad I recognized most of the Chamorro words, pardon if the spelling is off a bit :-). Even if I’m far away I know that in my heart will stay My island, the place I call home. So take me back To the island in the sea, For I hear an island songbird calling me. So take me back to the island in the sun For I know that’s where the heart in me belongs. As a child I had traveled from the east and western coast But always knew the island life is what I treasured most. I lived and loved and wandered Seeing all there is to see, Thought I had convinced myself the city life’s for me. So take me back To the island in the sea, For I hear an island songbird calling me. Take me back to the island in the sun For I know that’s where the heart in me belongs. Maseha Gaige yu chagu-gu Gaige gi halom korason hu Y tano’hu yan y linalahu Pues konne yu guatu Guihi na isla y guinaiya'hu Gaige guihi na luggat minagof’hu Hahasso todu y tiempo, y manmaloffan na minagof’hu Ya hu na’i si Yu’us gracia sa gaigue yu guini pago Matto ni minago’hu, Ya maolek todu sinenteku Sa pago na hu tungo na, y isla para guahu Pues konne yu tatte Gi Tanohu gi kanton tasi Sa hu hungok na ha a’agang yu y airi Pues konne yu guatu Guihi na isla y guinaiyahu Gaigue guihi na luggat minago'hu Gaigue guihi na luggat minago'hu Gaigue guihi na luggat korason’hu Korason'hu
I miss Guam as much as my mother misses her island. I'm half Chamorro, and when I first visited the island, I felt a deep connection to the culture and history. I love everything about Guam! When I went to Gab Gab Beach, I felt like I was Sirena. It was so beautiful and was I mostly did was follow the fish. I can't wait to visit again! 😁 #islandgirlforlife
I can never get tired of this song. This song reminds me of my mom before she passed away. The song makes it more special because it is song in English then Chamoru and that's what makes it more special. It touches every family near or far. BIba Guahan!

I missed the beaches our family went every sundays back home. I hated cleaning the sand off the car. Now I wouldn't mind it so much just to go back and feel the sand on my feet.
Tara Santos Hafa Adai Tara, here are the lyrics, loosely translated but mostly spot on. I had to listen to it since I love this song, just glad I was taught Chamorro and can recognize most of the words. Even if I’m far away I know that in my heart will stay My island, the place I call home. So take me back To the island in the sea, For I hear an island songbird calling me. So take me back to the island in the sun For I know that’s where the heart in me belongs. As a child I had traveled from the east and western coast But always knew the island life is what I treasured most. I lived and loved and wandered Seeing all there is to see, Thought I had convinced myself the city life’s for me. So take me back To the island in the sea, For I hear an island songbird calling me. Take me back to the island in the sun For I know that’s where the heart in me belongs. Maseha Gaige yu chagu-gu Gaige gi halom korason hu Y tano’hu yan y linalahu Pues konne yu guatu Guihi na isla y guinaiya'hu Gaige guihi na luggat minagof’hu Hahasso todu y tiempo, y manmaloffan na minagof’hu Ya hu na’i si Yu’us gracia sa gaigue yu guini pago Matto ni minago’hu, Ya maolek todu sinenteku Sa pago na hu tungo na, y isla para guahu Pues konne yu tatte Gi Tanohu gi kanton tasi Sa hu hungok na ha a’agang yu y airi Pues konne yu guatu Guihi na isla y guinaiyahu Gaigue guihi na luggat minago'hu Gaigue guihi na luggat minago'hu Gaigue guihi na luggat korason’hu Korason'hu
