1. Aʼan li tijok rajom li aamej,

2. Aʼan lix yaabʼ xkux xrahil qachʼool,
Relik xyaʼal li qu,
Li ilok taqeʼq li inkʼaʼ ilbʼil;
Chiru li Dios kʼutkʼu.

Saʼ nimla wankilal.
4. Aʼan joʼ xmusiqʼ laj paabʼanel,

Naq chi sutqʼiik naʼok;
Saʼ xsahilebʼ xchʼool, teʼxye li anjel:
“Cheril, ak natijok!”
6. Saʼ li tijok, laj paabʼanel
Teʼwanq saʼ junajil;
Rikʼin li Dios ut li Ralal
Teʼxtaw li komonil.
7. Inkʼaʼ kaʼajwiʼ arin taqʼa

Yoo chi tzʼaamank choqʼ qe.
8. Laaʼat li bʼe, laaʼat yuʼam!
Aabʼaan taqeʼq tooʼok—
Xbʼehil li tij laaʼat xakʼam.
Chakʼut chiqu tijok.
