Anthem to Tecum Uman

Verse

Our Father, Tecún your figure
It is an emblem set in loyalty
that shines in the dawn of the town
Where the Indian wrote freedom.
The tun of the warrior dance sounds,
That in your chest Tecún, it lit up
And tell us in the messenger age of him,
That the homeland in your faith dawned.

Chorus

And tell us in the messenger age of him,
That the homeland in your faith dawned;
Why do you raise the Indian flag?
Where the Quiché people flourished.

Verse

By your name covered in glory
By your blood of primordial love
There is greatness of light in history,
And in the homeland the quetzal survives.
Your beautiful teaching is eternal
That in the jade he affirmed his inheritance
Since the faithful impetus of your spear
It is summary of dignity.

Part of the first chorus

Your battle Tecún: Our Father
heart of corn and wheat,
It is a fight that is in our ancestor
as a virile and immortal people

Captain of the Immolated Blood
restraining foreign mob
by your gesture it was consecrated
To the honor that the Xequijel had.

Chorus repeated

By your gesture it was consecrated
To the honor that the Xequijel had.
And praising you in your new dawn
We sing to you: Tecún, faithful Father.
