Hymn Of The God Of Flowers

(\"Mexican")

(High Priest, masked as the god, chants)

(Kin-teotl--God of maize)

(Tla-loc--God of storms and the wide plains)

O Friends! The quetzal bird sings--it sings its song at midnight to Kin-teotl.

The god now hears my song by night, he will hear my song as the night brings in the dawn.

I send forth the priests to the house of Tla-loc.

The priests to the house of Tla-loc do I send forth.

I shall go forth to the plains. I shall join myself to them. I shall go where is Kin-teotl. I shall follow the trail to him.

The priests go forth to the house of Tla-loc, to the home of the god of the plains!
