lyrics

Una sañosa porfía
sin ventura va pujando
Ya nunca tuve alegría
ya mi mal se va ordenando.
Ya fortuna disponía
quitar mi próspero mando
Qu'el bravo León d'España
mal me viene amenazando
Su espantosa artillería
Los adarves derribando
mis villas y mis castillos
mis ciudades va ganando.
La tierra y el mar gemían
que viene señoreando
sus pendones y estandartes
y banderas levantando.
La muy gran caballería
hela, viene relumbrando
sus huestes y peonaje
all aire viene turbando.
Correme la morería
los campos viene talando
mis compañas y caudillos
viene venciendo y matando.
Las mezquitas de Mahoma
en iglesias consagrando,
las moras lleva cativas
con alaridos llorando.
Al cielo dan apellido

==============================================

A furious persistence
Without good fortune one goes struggling
And I never had joy
Now my misfortune is being ordained
Now fortune arranged
To take away my successful leadership
For the brave Lion of Spain
Comes threatening me with evil
His dreadful artillery
Knocking down the walls
My villas and my castles
He is winning my cities
The earth and the sea moan
For he comes seizing
His pendants and his banners
And carrying the colors
The very great cavalry
Dumfounds, it comes shining
His army and foot soldiers
Stirring up the air there
He overruns my Moorish quarter
Devastating the countryside
My comrades and leaders
Come defeated and being killed
The mosques of Mohammed
Are being consecrated as churches
He leads the Moorish prisoners
With crying shrieks
To heaven they call
Long live King Ferdinand!
Long live the very great lioness
May the high queen prosper!
A generous Virgin
Is giving them a force
A famous horseman
Comes flying in front
With a red cross
And a shining sword
Dressed in a rich mantle
Leading all the people
