One of Larry Saralu's very popular Chamorro remakes if of the Everly Brother's hit song Walk Right Back. The Chamorro title is Bira Hao Mågi, meaning "Turn Back Here."
LYRICS
Malago' yo' na un sangåne 'u
(I want you to tell me)
håfa na un dingo yo'.
(why did you leave me.)
Mampos yo' na sen triste.
(I am exceedingly very sad.)
Malago' yo' na un tungo'
(I want you to know)
na desde ke humånao hao
(that ever since you left)
i korason-ho esta kumåkåti.
(my heart is already crying.)
Atan ha' nene i bidå-ña
(Look baby what)
i guinaiya na esta
(love has done that already)
ha sosongge i korason-ho.
(it is burning my heart.)
Ai bira hao mågi kerida nene,
(Oh turn back here darling baby,)
chulili'e' yo' mågi nu i guinaiya-mo
(bring to me here your love)
ai sa' mampos yo' mahålang kada dia.
(oh I am exceedingly missing you each day.)
Now compare with the original English lyrics :
I want you to tell me why you walked out on me
I'm so lonesome every day.
I want you to know that since you walked out on me
Nothin' seems to be the same old way.
Think about the love that burns within my heart for you.
The good times we had before you went away, oh me.
Walk right back to me this minute.
Bring your love to me, don't send it.
I'm so lonesome every day.
I want you to tell me why you walked out on me.
I'm so lonesome every day.
I want you to know that since you walked out on me.
Nothin' seems to be the same old way.
