chi tojxokalab'oq jun nich'an b'e,

Ipan yayol jopan yapqn k'u,
chi schahok jun su'in no tz'ikin,
jurlab'i yek' no xolaq sq'ab'te:
ay no yalixh no mimeq,


no kaqin, no tz'ib'in, no q'an, no yax...
tuktuk, tuktuk, xhi no josom te',
wilontomi, wilontomi, wilontomi, yaq'on no syon,
k'itk'it, k'itk'it, yoq' no pirinchuk',
jun xew chi ek' paqlab'oq: xher, xher, xher...
Ch'it, ch'it, ch'it, xhi no tz'unun yin an kaq.
Ipan yek' nililoq no xolaq te',
chi slo no juan sat te chi q'anb'i'eloq:
te q'aq', te iximte', te chulub'
watx' wek'al sloji te chi yab' no',

Woqhanhintoq yich jun miman k'olol,
ka chi wilontoq najan jan asum,
¡Haxkawal tu stoj hin pixan najat!
