cantar de mio cid

Todos son pagados delas vistas quantos que y son
Partir se quieren que entrada era la noch
El Rey alos yfantes alas manos les tomo
Metiolos en poder de myo çid el campeador
Evad aqui uuestros fijos quando uuestros yernos son
Oy de mas sabed que fer dellos campeador
Gradescolo Rey e prendo uuestro don
Dios que esta en çielo dem dent buen galardon
Sobrel so cauallo bauieca myo çid salto daua
Aqui lo digo ante myo señor el Rey alfonsso
Qui quiere yr comigo alas bodas o Reçebir mi don
Daquend vaya comigo cuedo quel aura pro
Yo uos pido merçed auos Rey natural
Pues que casades mys fijas asi commo auos plaz
Dad manero a qui las de quando uos las tomades
Non gelas dare yo con mi mano nin ded non se alabaran
Respondio el Rey afe aqui albarfanez
Prendellas con uuestras manos e daldas alos yfantes
Assi commo yo las prendo daquent commo si fosse delant
Sed padrino dellos atod el velar
Quando uos iuntaredes comigo quem digades la uerdat
Dixo albarfanez señor afe que me plaz
Tod esto es puesto sabed en grant Recabdo
Hya Rey don alfonsso señor tan ondrado

Todos son pagados de las vistas quantos que í son,
partirse quieren, que entrada era la noch.
El rey a los ifantes a las manos les tomó,
metiólos en poder de mio Çid el Campeador,
-Evad aquí vuestros fijos, quando vuestros yernos son,
oy de más sabed qué fer d'ellos, Campeador.-
-Gradéscolo, rey, e prendo vuestro don,
Dios que está en çielo dém' dent buen galardón.-
Sobr'el so cavallo Bavieca mio Çid salto dava,
-Aquí lo digo ante mio señor el rey Alfonso,
qui quiere ir comigo a las bodas o reçebir mi don,
d'aquend vaya comigo, cuedo que l'avrá pro.
Yo vos pido merçed a vós, rey natural,
pues que casades mis fijas assí commo a vós plaz,
dad manero a qui las dé quando vós las tomades,
non ge las daré yo con mi mano nin dend non se alabarán.-
Respondió el rey, -Afé aquí Álbar Fáñez,
prendellas con vuestras manos e daldas a los ifantes,
assí commo yo las prendo d'aquent commo si fosse delant,
sed padrino d'ellos a tod el velar,

Dixo Álbar Fáñez, -Señor, afé que me plaz.-
Tod esto es puesto, sabed, en grant recabdo.
-Ya, rey don Alfonso, señor tan ondrado,

All that are there are pleased with the assembly,
they want to leave, now that night was falling.
The king took the infantes by the hands,
he placed them under the authority of my Cid the Campeador,
-See here your sons, for they are your sons-in-law,
from today on decide what to do with them, Campeador.-
-I am thankful for it, King, and I take your offering,
may God who is in Heaven give me my reward for this.-
Onto his horse Babieca my Cid jumped,
-Here I say it before my lord king Alfonso,
whoever wants to go with me to the weddings or to receive my offering,
from here go with me, I think he'll benefit from it.
I ask you for your indulgence, my natural king,
since you are marrying my daughters to your liking,
give me a proxy for me to commend them to, since they are in your power,
I will not give them away with my hand nor will they boast of it.-
Responded the king, -Look here Álvar Fáñez
take them with your hands and give them to the infantes,
just as I take them from here as if I were present before them,
be their godfather for the entire wedding,
when you meet me again I want you to tell me how it happened.-
Said Álvar Fáñez, -Sire, behold how it pleases me.-
All this is agreed upon, mind you, with great care.
-So, King don Alfonso, most honored lord,
