Saʼ najter tenamit keʼchal

Rikʼin sahil chʼoolejil

Saʼ najtil tenamit keʼchal

Laj paabʼanel najter tzʼaqal.

Keʼbʼeek chiru naabʼal kutan

Ut junelik nekeʼbʼichan:

Wankebʼ chiru, wankebʼ chirix,

Wankebʼ li saaj, wankebʼ li tiix,

Chi sa nokobʼeek chiru li bʼe—

Saʼ xtenamit Sion xik qe.

Jun li descant li naru xyaabʼasinkil
Wan chiru, chirix, li saaj ut tiix,
Chi sa toobʼeeq, saʼ xtenamit Sion xik qe.
