A song of lost love sung by Chris Kaipat of Saipan
ADIOS KERIDA
Farewell beloved.
1, Adios keridå-ho ya bai hu hånao
(Farewell my beloved and I will go)
sa' esta hu sen tungo' na guaha otro
(because I truly know that there is another)
guinaiya-mo mås ke guåho gi tiempo.
(whom you love more than me all the while.)
Ai sa' sen pinite korason-ho.
(Oh how very painful is my heart.)
2. Tumekkon yo' un råto ya hu hahasso
(I bowed my head awhile and was remembering)
i tiempo gi annai humihita.
(the time when we were together.)
Ai sen gåtbo lina'lå'-ta lao ti hu tungo'
(Oh our lives were so beautiful but I didn't know)
na otro esta nene ga'chochong-mo.
(that another already, baby, was your companion.)
3. Po'lo diåhlo ya bai hu sungon
(Just let it be and I will endure)
nu todo este piniten korason-ho.
(all this pain of my heart).
Ya un dia ma tulaika hinaso-mo
(And one day your mind changes)
ya un bira hao mågi nene gi fi'on-ho.
(and you turn back here, baby, by my side.)
