Lyrics

1. 1. Nim li Qaawaʼ, li qaDios, li Ajaw nimajwal.
   Bʼichan at waam, chanima laa metzʼew laa kolbʼal.
   Saʼ komonil
   Bʼichanqex re xnimankil;
   Cheloqʼoni chi rajlal.
2. 2. Nim li Qaawaʼ! Nataqlan saʼ xnimal lix wankil.
   Laj paabʼanel joʼ saʼ xxikʼebʼ laj tʼiw ak kʼambʼil.
   Ma eerilom
   Chanru tzʼaqal eerajom
   Rikʼin xchaqʼrabʼ ak kʼeebil?
3. 3. Nim li Qaawaʼ! Texxtenqʼa ut tixkʼe lee kolbʼal.
   Junelik wan saʼ lee bʼeen lix chaabʼil usilal.
   Reetal teekʼe
   Li tixbʼaanu choqʼ eere
   Naq saʼ rahok Aʼan nachal.
4. 4. Nim li Qaawaʼ! Chi anchal inwankil tinbʼicha.
   Ex yoʼyookex, eerochbʼeen laj Abraham chenima.

   Chiqabʼicha anajwan
   Re xnimankil chik taqʼa.
