cantar de mio cid

Trezientas lanças son todas tienen pendones
Seños moros mataron todos de seños colpes
Ala tornada que fazen otros tantos son
Veriedes tantas lanças premer e alçar
Tanta adagara foradar e passar
Tanta loriga falssa desmanchar
Tantos pendones blancos salir vermeios en sangre
Tantos buenos cauallos sin sos duenos andar
Los moros laman mafomat e los xpistianos santi yague
Cayen en vn poco de logar moros muertos mill e ccc. ya
Qual lidia bien sobre exorado arzon
Mio çid Ruy diaz el buen lidiador
Mynaya albarfanez que corita mando
Martin antolinez el burgales de pro
Muño gustioz que fue so criado
Martin muñoz el que mando a mont mayor
Albar albarez e albar saluadorez
Galin garçia el bueno de aragon
Felez munoz so sobrino del campeador
Desi adelante quantos que y son
Acorren la seña e a myo çid el canpeador
A mynaya albarfanez mataron le el cauallo
Bien lo acorren mesnadas de xpistianos
La lança a quebrada al espada metio mano
Mager de pie buenos colpes va dando

trezientas lanças son, todas tienen pendones,
seños moros mataron, todos de seños colpes,
a la tornada que fazen otros tantos son.
Veriedes tantas lanças premer e alçar,
tanta adágara foradar e passar,
tanta loriga falsar e desmanchar,
tantos pendones blancos salir vermejos en sangre,
tantos buenos cavallos sin sos dueños andar.
Los moros llaman -¡Mafómat!- e los cristianos -¡Santi Yagüe!-
Cayén en un poco de logar moros muertos mill e trezientos ya.
¡Quál lidia bien sobre exorado arzón,
mio Çid Ruy Díaz el buen lidiador!
Minaya Álbar Fáñez, que Çorita mandó,
Martín Antolínez, el burgalés de pro,
Muño Gustioz, que fue so criado,
Martín Muñoz, el que mandó a Mont Mayor,
Álbar Álbarez e Álbar Salvadórez,
Galín Garçía, el bueno de Aragón,
Félez Muñoz, so sobrino del Campeador,
desí adelante, quantos que í son
acorren la seña e a mio Çid el Canpeador.
A Minaya Álbar Fáñez matáronle el cavallo,
bien lo acorren mesnadas de cristianos,
la lança á quebrada, al espada metió mano,
maguer de pie, buenos colpes va dando.

they are three hundred lances, all have their pennons,
they killed a like number of Moors, each one with a single blow,
on the second charge they make, as many again are killed.
You would see so many lances lowered and raised,
so many shields pierced and penetrated,
so many mail coats traversed and torn,
so many white pennons come out red with blood,
so many good horses wandering without their riders.
The Moors call out -Mahomet!- and the Christians -Santiago!-
In a small space one thousand three hundred Moors now fell dead.
How well he fights behind his gilded saddlebow,
my Cid Ruy Díaz the good fighter!
Minaya Álvar Fáñez, who commanded Zorita,
Martín Antolínez, the excellent Burgalese,
Muño Gustioz, who was his charge,
Martín Muñoz, he who commanded Montemayor,
Álvar Álvarez and Álvar Salvadórez,
Galín García, the good one from Aragon,
Félez Muñoz, the nephew of the Campeador,
from then on, all that are there
rally round the banner and my Cid the Campeador.
They killed the horse of Minaya Álvar Fáñez,
Christian troops ably rush to his rescue,
his lance is broken, he took his sword in hand,
even though on foot, he is striking good blows.
