Over the ballcourt the quetzalcoxcox sings
and Cinteotl, lord of maize, replies
Already our friendly ones sing
already the fine bird sings
by night did Cinteotl shine

He'll hear only my song
He who still has the bells, oyoalli He with the thigh skin mask
He will still hear my song
He, Cipactonal

I give commands
As donor in Tlalocan

As donor in Tlalocan
I give commands
I have only just reached here
Where roads are united
I am only Cinteotl
Where shall I go?
Where shall I follow the road?

Donors in Tlalocan
Gods who give rain
