Ex li ak bʼoqbʼilex

Lyrics

1. 1. Ex li ak bʼoqbʼilex xbʼaan Dios saʼ lix kʼanjel,
   Ut xbʼaan raatin xekʼul xreyil tijonelil,
   Re yalaq bʼar xyeebʼal li chaabʼil esilal:
   Chi tzuul tepuktesi resil tuqtuukilal.
2. 2. Miwan li qʼetqʼetil, meesikʼ eewankilal.
   Saq ruhaq lee naʼlebʼ; tiikaq lee winqilal.
   Chetaqsi xyaabʼ eekux chanchan jun xyaabʼ trompeet;
   “Chalk re lee Dios!” cheye rehebʼ li tenamit.
3. 3. Li joʼmaajoʼ aatin chetzʼeq cherix rajlal;
   Ut meekanabʼ tijok; Chexwanq bʼan saʼ li yaal.
   Li Musiqʼej texxtzol, texril saʼ lee kʼanjel,
   Ut rajlal eerikʼin taawanq lee Kolonel.
4. 4. Jun eemaatan taawanq, li Dios paabʼaal tixkʼe,
   Wankil saʼ xbʼeen li kamk, ut loqʼalil eere;
   Chi seebʼ chik eeqʼolom teekʼam aran Sion;
   Ruuchil rahilal teekʼul jun choxahil koroon.
5. Raatinul: Mary Judd Page, 1818–1907
