Laaʼat lin saqen

Lyrics

1. 1. Laaʼat lin saqen; kʼaʼru tinxuwa?
   Chi qʼeq, chi kutan nikinaatenqʼa.
   Kasach chaq chinbʼeen li maak ut rahilal,
   Ut xbʼaan laa Musiqʼ naq ninnaw chi tzʼaqal.
2. Laaʼat lin saqen; Laaʼat li bʼe, ut li yaal.
   Chi qʼeq, chi kutan, Lin bʼe taakʼam rajlal.
3. 2. Laaʼat lin saqen; naq choql naramok,
   Tzʼaqal li paabʼaal taqeʼq naʼilok
   Wan wiʼ li Jesus, chi nim xloqʼalil.
   Maamin chi joʼkan li qʼojyin chik tinwil.
4. Laaʼat lin saqen; Laaʼat li bʼe, ut li yaal.
   Chi qʼeq, chi kutan, Lin bʼe taakʼam rajlal.
5. 3. Laaʼat lin saqen, ut lin tenqʼankil.
   Taaruuq tinnumtaaq rikʼin laa wankil.
   Naq qʼun inmetzʼew, taakʼe kawilal.
   Rajlal nintenqʼaak naq ninbʼeek saʼ paabʼaal.
6. Laaʼat lin saqen; Laaʼat li bʼe, ut li yaal.
   Chi qʼeq, chi kutan, Lin bʼe taakʼam rajlal.
7. 4. Laaʼat lin saqen; anchal inpaabʼaal;
   Maajun qʼojyin wan saʼ laa wilobʼaal.
   Aj Kolonelat, tzʼaqal li qaRey.
   Wochbʼeenebʼ li anjel tinbʼichanq aawe.
8. Laaʼat lin saqen; Laaʼat li bʼe, ut li yaal.
   Chi qʼeq, chi kutan, Lin bʼe taakʼam rajlal.
