Ma tijok xayal?

Rikʼin kʼoxlak saʼ chʼoolej

1. Naq xatwakli mixk eqʼla
Ma tijok xayal?
Ma xapatzʼ aatenqʼankil
Saʼ xkʼabʼaʼ li Kolonel,
Choqʼ aakawilal?

[Chorus]

Taahilanq ani lubʼlu,

Saʼ qʼojyin kutan nachal.

Naq aakʼabʼ li bʼe chawu,

Li tijok chayal.

2. Naq xnumta xjosqʼil aachʼool,
Ma jun tij xakʼe?
Ma xapatzʼ li usilal
Re taakʼul saʼ chaabʼilal
Li xramok aabʼe?

[Chorus]

Taahilanq ani lubʼlu,

Saʼ qʼojyin kutan nachal.

Naq aakʼabʼ li bʼe chawu,

Li tijok chayal.

3. Naq li ra xchal saʼ aabʼeen
Ma tijok xayal?
Naq xnumta xrahil laa waam,
Bʼan re Galahad ma xakʼam
Saʼ laa wokebʼaal?

4. Taahilanq ani lubʼlu,
Saʼ qʼojyin kutan nachal.
Naq aakʼabʼ li bʼe chawu,
Li tijok chayal.
