My favorite painting by Paula Nicho Cumez, Mas Haya del Universo
Ninwajo yinok achatkawi’ Ruma janila yaqajo Ninwajo yiwär awik’in Ruma yaqa chi nuwäch …. quiero que acuestas por mi almohada porque te quiero mucho quiero que duermas conmigo porque eres tan bella …. I want you to lie on my pillow Because I want you so bad I want you to sleep with me Because you are so beautiful
Verse from a Kaqchikel song by Baldomero Kawoq
*yaqa chi nuwäch is a phrase which cannot be directly translated, but literally means something like, “you descend on my eyes”
