Ritual
Alzo la obsidiana al viento, quebrando los huesos
Templo ensangrentado, ¡fuego y trueno!
Esta es nuestra ofrenda, ave surda y oscura
Toma este corazón latiente, ¡fuego y trueno!
Aliméntalo, chac mool, llévalo al cosmos
Que alumbre tu Sol negro, y se cieguen los campos
Regrésanos la abundancia, sobre la desgracia
Este es el ritual, tómalo de los muertos
Engrandece a los guerreros, apresados feroces en batalla
Que protegieron a su pueblo
Este es el ritual, tómalo de los muertos
Otinemi cempohualli xiuhtin
Ipan xallixtlahuac, quemen ce yolcatl
Quemen ce melahuac yaotecatl
Otimanahui moaltepeu, momasehua
Axcan mali in yaotl niman axcan talmanaqui
Titlamanaliz mochi titeotiliz
Tiyez, tiyolo pampa huey tecuhtli tonatiuh
Chac mool, chac mool, chac mool llévalo al cosmos
Axcan tichanti ilhuicac nepa ohtli, mixtitlan cozamalotl, ihuan cicitlaltin
Chac mool, chac mool, chac mool llévalo al cosmos
Axcan tichanti ilhuicac nepa ohtli, mixtitlan cozamalotl, ihuan cicitlaltin
Aliméntalo, chac mool, llévalo al cosmos
Este es el ritual, tómalo de los muertos
Ritual
I raise the obsidian to the wind, breaking the bones
Bloodstained temple, fire and thunder!
This is our offering, deaf and dark bird
Take this beating heart, fire and thunder!
Feed it, chac mool, take it to the cosmos
Let your black Sun shine, and blind the fields
Return us abundance, over misfortune
This is the ritual, take it from the dead
Enrich the warriors, fierce captives in battle
Who protected their people
This is the ritual, take it from the dead
Otinemi cempohualli xiuhtin
Ipan xallixtlahuac, burn this heart
Burn this flesh, warriors
Otimanahui moaltepeu, momasehua
Now is the time of war, now is the time of battle
Prepare yourself, arm yourself
Rise, be brave, great lord sun
Chac mool, chac mool, chac mool take it to the cosmos
Now you will ascend to the sky, through the road, to the place of clouds and stars
Chac mool, chac mool, chac mool take it to the cosmos
Now you will ascend to the sky, through the road, to the place of clouds and stars
Feed it, chac mool, take it to the cosmos
This is the ritual, take it from the dead
