AMUNEGU

Kaba funa san anuga wabute amunegu 
 Kaba funa san ayanuha Garifuna numa amunegu 
 Kaba funa san arumaha numa o amunegu 
 Kaba funa san aduguraha wau o amunegu

Chuluhali dan lun lareidahoun 
 Chuluhali dan lun lareidahoun 
 Chuluhali dan lun lareidahoun 
 Feiridiwanali ei gumugubei

Ageindaguatian wayunagu lun habagaridun kei Garinagu 
 Wagia me san aferidirei wagaburi, madugawamei

Aganba humana aguburigu, harufudaha houn isanigu 
 Wererun luma weremuhan, wafien luma wabinahan

Chuluhali dan lun lareidahoun

Feiridiwanali ei gumugubei

I wonder who will bake cassava* bread for us in times to come 
 I wonder who will speak with me in Garifuna in times to come 
 I wonder who will sing Aruumahani** songs with me in times to come 
 I wonder who will heal us with the dugu** in times to come

The time has come for it to be preserved 
 The time has come for it to be taught 
 The time has come for it to be preserved 
 Lest we lose it altogether

Our ancestors fought to remain Garifuna 
 Why must we be the ones to lose our culture?
  Let's not do it

Parents, please listen to me. 
 Teach the children Our language and our songs; our beliefs and our dances

The time has come for it to be preserved 
 The time has come for it to be taught 
 The time has come for it to be preserved 
 Lest we lose it altogether
