Nim li Qaawaʼ, li qaDios

 


Lyrics

  1. 1. Nim li Qaawaʼ, li qaDios, li Ajaw nimajwal.

    Bʼichan at waam, chanima laa metzʼew laa kolbʼal.

    Saʼ komonil

    Bʼichanqex re xnimankil;

    Cheloqʼoni chi rajlal.

  2. 2. Nim li Qaawaʼ! Nataqlan saʼ xnimal lix wankil.

    Laj paabʼanel joʼ saʼ xxikʼebʼ laj tʼiw ak kʼambʼil.

    Ma eerilom

    Chanru tzʼaqal eerajom

    Rikʼin xchaqʼrabʼ ak kʼeebil?

  3. 3. Nim li Qaawaʼ! Texxtenqʼa ut tixkʼe lee kolbʼal.

    Junelik wan saʼ lee bʼeen lix chaabʼil usilal.

    Reetal teekʼe

    Li tixbʼaanu choqʼ eere

    Naq saʼ rahok Aʼan nachal.

  4. 4. Nim li Qaawaʼ! Chi anchal inwankil tinbʼicha.

    Ex yoʼyookex, eerochbʼeen laj Abraham chenima.

    Jun li “Amen”

    Chiqabʼicha anajwan

    Re xnimankil chik taqʼa.
