Xbʼaan xkawil ebʼ li tzuul
Rikʼin kawil chʼoolej
1. Xbʼaan xkawil ebʼ li tzuul, Qaawaʼ,
QaDios, bʼantiox aawe.
Xmetzʼewebʼ chaq laa walal
Toj taqeʼq saʼ tzuul xakʼe.
Israel li sikʼbʼil ru najter,
Toj arin kakʼamebʼ xbʼe.
[Chorus]
Xbʼaan xkawil ebʼ li tzuul, Qaawaʼ,
QaDios, bʼantiox aawe.
2. Ak chi najt chaq xootawasiik
Saʼ ruqʼebʼ laj wechʼonel;

Laa wankil aj tenqʼanel.
Saʼ xyanqebʼ li xikʼ aj ilonel,
Lubʼluuko xqasikʼ qabʼe.

Xbʼaan xkawil ebʼ li tzuul, Qaawaʼ,
QaDios, bʼantiox aawe.

Li komon li najt xeʼchal.

Xbʼaan li ru taqʼa xakʼe,
[Chorus]
Xbʼaan xkawil ebʼ li tzuul, Qaawaʼ,
QaDios, bʼantiox aawe.
4. Wan saʼ quqʼ jun li santil xam
Maamin taachupq xxamlel;

Taqenaq ut xuwajel.
Nayoʼla arin xkawil qachʼool
Joʼ roq haʼ saʼ pek xate.
[Chorus]
Xbʼaan xkawil ebʼ li tzuul, Qaawaʼ,
QaDios, bʼantiox aawe.
