Lyrics

  1. 1. Chaabʼil Sion, taqeʼq nawan.

    Chaabʼil Sion, raabʼil inbʼaan.

    Sa nakʼutun li rokebʼaal,

    Santil ochoch aʼan tzʼaqal.

    Li kikamsiik saʼ krus choqʼ we

    Li okebʼaal chiwu naxte.

  2. [Chorus]

    At Sion, at Sion, chaabʼil Sion,

    Xtenamit li qaYuwaʼ!

  3. 2. Chaabʼil choxa, tzʼaqal kutan;

    Saqebʼ li raqʼ li anjel aran.

    Chaabʼil wajbʼak aran nawan,

    Chaabʼil bʼichank naʼabʼiman.

    Kaw tinbʼichanq ajwiʼ laaʼin

    Naq rubʼel roq li Dios wanqin.

  4. 3. Chaabʼilaqebʼ xkoroon kʼeebʼil,

    Li kolbʼilebʼ xbʼaatal chik wan,

    Tinyal inqʼe aran chi xik

    Bʼar tinhilanq chi junelik.
