Naq taakʼulunq li Kolonel
Rikʼin oxloqʼink
1. Naq taakʼulunq li Kolonel
Ma anjel teʼbʼichanq?
Ma ke malaj saqbʼach taaril?
Ma saqʼehil taawanq?
Ma taakʼutunq jun akʼ chahim
Aran chiru choxa?
Ma wanq kutan chiru qʼojyin
Naq taakʼulunq xkaʼ wa?
Ninnaw naq li kokʼal tixbʼoq,
Tixchʼutubʼebʼ rikʼin.
Xbʼaan naq kixye aʼin najter:
Kanabʼebʼ chi chalk wikʼin.
2. Naq taakʼulunq li Kolonel,
Ma ak yoʼoon wanqin
Re naq tinwil li rilobʼaal
Ut tintijoq rikʼin?
Wulaj wulaj tinyal inqʼe,
Tinkʼut lin xam aran
Re naq ani taaril, tixsikʼ
Tzʼaqal xsaqen Aʼan.
Saʼ li chaabʼil kutan aʼan
Rikʼin rahok tixye:
Xatkʼanjelak chiwu, walal,
Kim wikʼin, chatwanq choqʼ we.
