Gi Talo Gi Halom Tasi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The offical anthem of the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands was written by Mr. Jose S. Pangelinan presumably around the time after the war had ended. It became the official anthem by an act of the legislature after the formation of the newly created Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands in the late 1970s to early 1980s. The melody of the song is taken from the German tune "Im Schonsten Wiezengrunde", written by Wilhelm Ganzholm.

English Translation:
In the middle of the sea
Is where my home is
That is where I will spend my days
It is my desire
If I ever leave this place
One day I will return
For I can never leave you
O land of mine
CHORUS:
A thousand times and more
I will honor and salute you
Beautiful islands of the Mariånas
Glory be to you
