1. Aaraabʼal, Qaawaʼ, chintzol,
Ut chinbʼeeq chiru laa bʼe.
Chintenqʼa li was wiitzʼin;
Laa metzʼew chiwanq choqʼ we.
Aaraabʼal, Qaawaʼ, chintzol—
Qaawaʼ, chatintaaqe.
2. Ma tinwil lix maak jalan?
Wan ajwiʼ inmaak laaʼin.
Wan rahilal inkʼaʼ ilbʼil
Saʼ lix chʼool li was wiitzʼin.
Ma tinwil lix maak jalan?
Qaawaʼ, chatintaaqe.
3. Chinkʼoxla li was wiitzʼin,
Chinkʼehaq li chaabʼil bʼan;
Ani yaj, ani lubʼlu,
Chiwisi xrahilal aʼan.
Chinkʼoxla li was wiitzʼin.
Qaawaʼ, chatintaaqe.
4. Chinrahoq, Qaawaʼ, chi yaal
Joʼ laaʼat nikinaara.
Laaʼaqat saqen chiwu,
Ut laaʼinaq aamoos taqʼa.
Chinrahoq, Qaawaʼ, chi yaal;
Qaawaʼ, chatintaaqe.
