A Song Relating to the Lord Nezahualpilli

Come forth to the dance, ye lords, let there be abundance of turquoise and feathers; our dwelling on earth is not for long; only let the gods give me flowers to my hand, give me abundance of turquoises.
Come let us move in the dance in honor of the one only god, the Giver of Life, while my soul lives by the waters ( or , in Anahuac).
The Giver of Life made known a new song after the lord Nezahualpilli entered the strongholds of Nonoalco and sped his arrows within the walls of Atlixco.
Thou hast filled thy plate and thy cup in thy hands and hast rejoiced in the one only God, the Lord.
Alas, how I am afflicted in my soul, I, a resident of Nonoalco; I am like a wild bird, my face is that of a Mexican.
The beauteous flowers of thy battles lie abundantly snowed down, O Giver of Life; I am like a wild bird, etc.
