In Colhuacan, an awesome place
is the house of the lord
The palace of Tezcatzoncatl
the god with the mirror in his hair

Gifts are given the god, yet he weeps
it must not be so
gifts are given the god, yet he weeps

Alas, in Axalco palace
gifts are given the god, yet he weeps
it must not be so
gifts are given the god, yet he weeps
In Tezcatzonco, your abode
A warrior, a rabbit, tochin my god has created
I'll overthrow, I'll perforate
the hill of Mixcoatl, in Colhuacan
Man with the voice, I've beaten the drum
Little mirror, little mirror
In the country of mirrors, Tezcatzonco drink up

The white-headed pulque
is cooked to a froth
Drink up the pulque
