Bʼichanbʼil resil Sion

 


Lyrics

  1. 1. Bʼichanbʼil resil Sion,

    Xtenamit Enok junxil

    Bʼar rochbʼeen li Dios keʼbʼeek

    Li tiik xchʼool saʼ tzʼaqalil.

    Chaabʼilal, paabʼaal, rahok

    Joʼ maatan chaq keʼtawman;

    Li junjunq naxra xkomon;

    Junajebʼ chaq xchʼool aran.

  2. 2. Lix wankil laj tza keʼxtzʼeq;

    Choxahil chaqʼrabʼ keʼxpaabʼ.

    Saʼ xnaʼaj Eden najter,

    Li Sion chik keʼxxaqabʼ.

    Qʼaxbʼil ru maaʼusilal;

    Bʼihomal inkʼaʼ raabʼil,

    Ut rajlal li usilal

    Saʼ tuqtuukilal keʼril.

  3. 3. Nalembʼak xkabʼlal Sion,

    Joʼ saqʼe lix lemtzʼunkil;

    Ebʼ laj maak saʼ xiw keʼwan;

    Chi sachso chaq xchʼool keʼril.

    Naq keʼtzʼaqlok ru xpaabʼaal,

    Keʼxtaaqe lix nimla Rey.

    Keʼkʼameʼ toj saʼ choxa;

    “Elenaq Sion,” keʼxye.

  4. 4. Naq rochbʼeen Sion taachalq

    Li Qaawaʼ chi xkabʼ sutil,

    Junajaq qachʼool chi yaal

    Ut rikʼin li qu taqil.

    Li anjel qochbʼeen teʼbʼeeq,

    Li Qaawaʼ toxkʼul chiru;

    Chanchanaq Eden li chʼochʼ;

    Toonawoq joʼ nawbʼil qu.
