O que foi passar a serraA
e non quis servir a terraA
ora entrant' a guerraA
que faronejaB
Pois el agora tan muito erraA
maldito sejaB
-
O que levou os dinheirosC
e non troux' os cavaleirosC
por non ir nos primeirosC
que faronejaB
Pois que ven c nos prestumeirosC
maldito sejaB
-
O que filhou gran soldadaD
e nunca fez cavalgadaD
por non ir a GraadaD
que faronejaB
Se rie' omen ou mesnadaD
maldito sejaB
-
O que meteu na taleigaE
pouc' aver e muita meigaE
por non entrar na VeigaE
que faronejaB
Pois chus mol e que manteigaE
maldito sejaB

He who passed over the mountainsC
And did not want to serve on the plainG
Is he the one when war was returnedD
Who's now braggingE
Since he vacillates so much nowH
Let him be damnedD
-
He who doled out his moneyI
Without attracting any good knightsC
Is it because he wasn't first in the fightD
That he's bragging nowH
Since he came at us with his rearJ
Let him be damnedD
-
He who raised a great soldieryJ
But never quite a good cavalryJ
Since he didn't go to Granada is heJ
The one who's braggingE
Whether he's rich or has a strong bandD
Let him be damnedD
-
He who loaded up his bagsC
With a little gold and a lot of guffK
And never quite entered the town of VegaE
Is he bragging nowH
Since he's more like fat than butterJ
Let him be damnedD
