Gaspar Fernández (1566-1629): Xicochi Conetzintle, a motet sung in Nahuatl language.

"Xicochi, xicochi. ................................ Sleep, sleep.
Xicochi, xicochi. ................................ Sleep, sleep.
Xicochi conetzintle. ................................ Sleep, O my child.
Xicochi conetzintle. ................................ Sleep, O my child.

Caomiz hui hui xoco in angelos me ................................ Indeed, the angels have come to call you (into the world).
Caomiz hui hui xoco in angelos me ................................ Indeed, the angels have come to call you (into the world).
Caomiz hui hui xoco in angelos me ................................ Indeed, the angels have come to call you (into the world).
In angelos me. ................................ The angels have come.
In angelos me. …………………… The angels have come.

Aleluya, aleluya... ................................ Hallelujah, hallelujah.... "
