Back in the day when Air Micronesia, a subsidiary of Continental Airlines, existed, travel between Saipan and Guam was usually done on a 727 jet plane. The trip took a mere 20 minutes from take-off to touch-down. Those days are now gone as we squeeze into a smaller propeller plane for a 40 minute flight.
A man loses the love of his life to the 727 jet, taking her to God-knows-where, but far from the shores of Saipan and the man who loves her.
Esta para un hånao gi 727 jet.
(You are ready to leave on a 727 jet.)
Mampos yo' triste yan mahålang
(I am really sad and dejected)
pot i para un dingo yo' nene.
(that you're about to leave me baby.)
Pues hanao ha' kerida
(So just leave darling)
lao cha'-mo maleleffa
(but don't forget)
na gaige ha' yo' nai guine
(that I am just here)
na hu nanangga hao kerida nene.
(waiting for you darling baby.)
Gi annai kumikilolok i ruedan 727 jet
(When the wheels of the 727 jet were turning)
duro lokkue' i lago'-ho
(my tears also)
de milalak påpa' gi faso-ho.
(really fell down on my face.)
Mahålang. The root word is hålang, and describes a weakening of spiritual energy and power. So it can apply to fear, nostalgia, yearning for what is absent, discouragement.
Kilolok. To revolve, to make circular turns.
Milak. Flowing liquid.
