Canto a Istakpapalotl Resides en Xochimilco allí revoloteas entre las flores; con flores naces, te bañas y te perfumas con el néctar de las flores. Por eso mi corazón se alegra, se alegra al contemplarte; revive y se fortalece.

Eres una mariposita convertida en flor, flor y canto; floreces en todo tiempo siempre resplandeces. Floreces en mi corazón, resplandeces en mi camino... mariposita.
