Caminante del Mayab

Caminante, caminanteque vas por los caminospor los viejos caminosdel Mayab,

que ves arder de tardelas alas de Xtacay,que ves arder de nochelos ojos del cocay.

Caminante, caminanteque oyes el canto tristede la paloma azuly el grito temblorosodel pájaro pujuy.

Caminante, caminanteme has de decir si visteaparecercomo una nube blancaque vino y que se fue,y si escuchaste un cantocomo voz de mujer.

Caminante, caminante,también en mi caminola nube blanca vi,también escuché el canto,pobrecito de mí.

Caminante, caminante...

Mayan traveler*

Traveler, travelerwho goes through the paths1,through the old pathsof Mayab2.

In the afternoon you'll seethe wings of Xtacay3 shine,in the night you'll seethe eyes of the firefly.

Traveler, traveleryou'll hear the sad songof the blue doveand the quivering cryof the Pauraque4.

Traveler, travelertell me if you've seen itappear before you,like a white cloudthat came and went,and if you heard a songwith the voice of a woman.

Traveler, travelerI too, saw on my patha white cloud,I too, heard the songwoe is me.

Traveler, traveler...
