Yalaq bʼar naʼajej

Lyrics

1. 1. Yalaq bʼar naʼajej naq qʼojyin naʼok
   Teʼwiqʼlaaq kokʼal ut taaʼuxq tijok.
   Bʼantiox teʼxye saʼ tzʼaqal li raatin,
   Bʼantiox, bʼantiox, saʼ tzʼaqal li raatin.
   “Gracias,” “Mālō,” “We thank thee,” (wi tenk di)
   Yalaq bʼar naʼajej naru naqabʼi.
   Wankebʼ “Tak”, wan chik “Mercí,”
   “Kanxa ximasu”, “Bʼantiox aawe.”
   Li qaYuwaʼ narabʼihebʼ
   Naxtaw ru li junjunq.
   Li qaYuwaʼ naxnaw li ru,
   Ut naxra, naxra, naxra li junjunq.
