1. At chʼina tenamit Belen,
Chʼanchʼo chik nakatqil;
Chiru choxa saʼ laa wara
Chahim nakateʼril.
Saqen bʼan nakʼutun
Saʼ laa qʼojyin ruhil bʼe.
Li tzʼaqal yaal ut chaabʼilal
Chiru qʼojyin taakʼe.
2. Li Kristo aawikʼin xyoʼla,
Ut naq chʼanchʼo taqʼa,
Nakateʼril saʼ komonil
Li anjel saʼ choxa.
Laaʼex chahim re¬ eqʼla,
Chebʼicha resil chi yaal—
Loqʼal choqʼ re li Dios teekʼe;
Re winq, tuqtuukilal.
3. Chʼanchʼo chʼanchʼo nakʼeeman qe
Li nimajwal maatan;
Joʼkan lix chʼool li winq naxkʼul
Lix choxahil uxtaan.
Us ta timil xyaabʼ xkux
Saʼ li ruchichʼochʼ aʼin,
Wi wan ani taakʼuluq re,
Taaʼok li Dios rikʼin.
