Mio Cid

Hero and honoured great warrior
Who serves without treason;
He guards both Islam and Christ
In what he thinks in reason
Knight who, elected by God
Is determined to glory
After the moment of death
He could succeed in war
His dust. Mio Cid!
His must. Mio Cid!
His sweat. Mio Cid!
His threats. Mio Cid!
His steel. Mio Cid!
His zeal. Mio Cid!
Mio Cid! Mio Cid!
Tied to his horse
Cid Campeador
Remains stable
Pouring his gore
Only this vision
Spreads fear and fright
Foes indecision
Gives him the fight
After expiring
Great feat he did
His foes are choiring
O, Mio Cid!
Both armies loudly call
O, Mio Cid!
Mio Cid!
Cid! Cid! Mio Cid! Mio Cid!
As his force was always inner
No matter his dying
Mio Cid’s again the winner
And his troops outcrying
Loud and keen, the clamour
Runs among the field
This sounds like a hammer
Battering a shield
His dust. Mio Cid!
His must. Mio Cid!
His sweat. Mio Cid!
His threats. Mio Cid!
His steel. Mio Cid!
His zeal. Mio Cid!
Mio Cid! Mio Cid!
Tied to his horse
Cid Campeador
Remains stable
Pouring his gore
Only this vision
Spreads fear and fright
Foes indecision
Gives him the fight
After expiring
Great feat he did
His foes are choiring
O, Mio Cid!
Both armies loudly call
O, Mio Cid!
Mio Cid!
His dust. Mio Cid!
His must. Mio Cid!
His sweat. Mio Cid!
His threats. Mio Cid!
His steel. Mio Cid!
His zeal. Mio Cid!
Mio Cid! Mio Cid!
Tied to his horse
Cid Campeador
Remains stable
Pouring his gore
Only this vision
Spreads fear and fright
Foes indecision
Gives him the fight
After expiring
Great feat he did
His foes are choiring
O, Mio Cid!
Both armies loudly call
O, Mio Cid!
Mio Cid!
Cid! Cid! Mio Cid! Mio Cid!
En el fragor
El Cid Campeador
Es como un rayo
Batallador
Su alma es una
Fuente de luz
Bajo la Luna
O bajo la Cruz
Cabalga yerto
Y gana la lid
Después de muerto
¡Oh, Mío Cid!
Después de muerto
¡Oh, Mío Cid!
