Naq taakʼulunq li Kolonel

Lyrics

1. 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. 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.
