Lifting the night, your messengers arrive,
The skyline ignites, with your golden gifts alive

Describing the clouds, defining the ground,
Horizons are crowned, with your shimmering copilli of light

Warm wind from fiery wings, cascading past the Earth
She turns to spread the heat of your love
On waves of light you surf, far beyond this world
Protecting, and enfolding us in your glow

Tlakuauhtlexupe, blazing eagle of fire,
Tlakuauhtlexupe, on wings of light you fly,
Manifest radiance, the forge ethereal
From core illuminate, the source material
Tlakuauhtlexupe, flaming bird of light,
Tlakuauhtlexupe, grandmother of life…

Allowing the night, sustaining the day,
Colours adorn, this world that you portray

Shadows illustrate, silhouettes convey,
Carriers of clarity, the Creator’s magicians at play

Flaming feathers from your wings, illuminate the Earth
Every leaf and head turns your way
All life reaching forth, from deep within the Earth
Rising to be blessed by your rays

Tlakuauhtlexupe, blazing eagle of fire,
Tlakuauhtlexupe, on wings of light you fly,
Boundless magnificence, your form illuminates
Maternal source of all, existence celebrates
Tlakuauhtlexupe, flaming bird of light,
Tlakuauhtlexupe, grandmother of life…
