Paseávase el rey moro
Por los campos de granada,
Cartas le fueron venidas
Cómo Alhama era ganada.
¡Ay mi Alhama!
Habéis de saber, amigos,
Una nueva desdicha:
Que cristianos de braveza
Ya nos han ganado Alhama.
¡Ay mi Alhama!
[requires revision]
The morísh king was out walking
in the city of granada
letters delivered to him
Telling how Alhama was taken.
¡Ah, my Alhama!
You must know, friends,
a new sorrow:
that bravehearted Christians
Have taken the Alhama from us.
¡Ah, my Alhama!
