My heart is a flower bursting open Tonan, our mother, has come The goddess has come, Tlazolteotl Cinteotl was born in Tamoanchan where the flowers lift their heads Ce Xochitl, One Flower is his name Cinteotl was born in the rain and mist where human children are made where fishermen catch jade fish Now will the sun rise, now will the day dawn Let all the various firebirds sip nectar where flowers stand erect On earth you stand yourself up Near the constellation Tianquiztli, the market place I am the lord Quetzalcoatl Let there be rejoicing by the flowering tree hear all the firebirds, the various firebirds Our god speaks, pay him heed his firebird speaks; Is it one of our dead who is piping, who'll be felled by a dart from a blow-gun? My flowers I shall fan with the breeze flowers of our nourishment, blossoms like popcorn where the blossoms all raise up their heads
