Li bʼarbʼookil chʼiichʼ

 


Lyrics

  1. 1. Xmatkʼik laj Nefi, jun profeet

    Saʼ najter qʼe kutan,

    Ut jun li chʼichʼ bʼarbʼo kiril

    Chire li bʼe aran.

  2. [Chorus]

    Chap chap li chʼiichʼ, li bʼarbʼookil chʼiichʼ,

    Li kaw ut tiik chawu.

    Raatin li Dios li chʼiichʼ aʼan;

    Tixkʼut li bʼe chiqu.

  3. 2. Naq bʼeek yooko arin taqʼa

    Bʼar wiʼ aaleek nawan,

    Chiru qʼojyin nokonumeʼ;

    Xiw xiw rajlal aran.

  4. 3. Naq nachʼ qikʼin wan li aaleek

    Ut wan li choql saʼ bʼe,

    Naru xchapbʼal saʼ quqʼ li chʼiichʼ—

    Qatenqʼankil tixkʼe.

  5. 4. Ut chi joʼkan wulaj wulaj

    Li chʼiichʼ taqataaqe;

    Rikʼin tijok, rikʼin bʼichank

    Toobʼeeq chiru li bʼe.

  6. 5. Chi najt naqil li hilobʼaal—

    Aran li chʼiichʼ naxik,

    Ut qochbʼeenebʼ li anjel aran

    Toowanq chi junelik.
