\nTierras de Alca\u00f1iz negras las va dejando
\nY sus alrededores todos lo va depredando;
\nAl tercer d\u00eda, de donde sali\u00f3, all\u00ed ha regresado.
\nYa va por las tierras todas el mandado
\nA los de Monz\u00f3n y a los de Huesca les va pesando,
\nPorque dan parias, los de Zaragoza se van alegrando
\nPues de Mio Cid Ruy D\u00edaz no tem\u00edan ning\u00fan maltrato.
\nCon estas ganancias a los campamentos regresando van,
\nTodos son alegres, ganancias traen grandes,
\nLe agrad\u00f3 a Mio Cid y mucho a Alvar F\u00e1\u00f1ez.
\nSe sonri\u00f3 el adalid, que no se pudo aguantar.
\nYa caballeros, voy a deciros la verdad:
\nQuien en un lugar mora siempre, lo suyo puede menguar;
\nMa\u00f1ana por la ma\u00f1ana nos dispondremos a cabalgar,
\nDejad estos campamentos e iremos adelante.
\nEstonces se mud\u00f3 el Cid al puerto de Alucat,
\nHace Mio Cid correr\u00edas en Huesca y en Montalb\u00e1n,
\nDos d\u00edas en aquellas correr\u00edas tuvieron que gastar.
\nFueron los mandados a todas partes,
\nQue el salido de Castilla as\u00ed los trae tan mal.
\nLos mandados fueron a todas partes.
\nLlegaron las nuevas al conde de Barcelona,
\nDe Mio Cid Ruy D\u00edaz y de sus correr\u00edas por la tierra toda;
\nSinti\u00f3 muy grand pesar y lo tuvo a gran deshonra.
\nEl conde es muy foll\u00f3n y dijo entonces una vanidad.
\nGrandes agravios me ha hecho Mio Cid el de Vivar;
\nDentro en mi corte me hizo agravio muy grande,
\nGolpe\u00f3 a mi sobrino y no lo enmend\u00f3 jam\u00e1s;
\nAgora me recorre las tierras que en mi dominio est\u00e1n.
\nNo lo desafi\u00e9 ni le devolv\u00ed enemistad,
\nMas cuando \u00e9l me lo busca, se lo ir\u00e9 a demandar.
\nGrandes son las huestes y aprisa se van acercando,
\nGrandes gentes se unen de entre moros y cristianos,
\nMarchan contra Mio Cid el bueno de Vivar,
\nTres d\u00edas y dos noches no dejaron de avanzar,
\nAlcanzaron a Mio Cid en T\u00e9var y el pinar;
\nAs\u00ed viene de reforzado el conde, que a manos le pens\u00f3 atrapar.
\nMio Cid don Rodrigo tra\u00eda grandes ganancias,
\nDesciende de una sierra y llegaba a un valle;
\nDel conde don Ram\u00f3n le ha llegado un mensaje.
\nMio Cid cuando lo oy\u00f3, envi\u00f3 para all\u00e1.
\nDecidle al conde no lo tenga a mal,
\nde lo suyo no llevo nada, que me deje ir en paz.
\nRespondi\u00f3 el conde: \u00a1Esto es verdad!
\nLo de antes y de agora todo me lo pagar\u00e1.
\n\u00a1Va a saber el desterrado a qui\u00e9n vino a deshonrar!
\nSe volvi\u00f3 el mensajero a no poder m\u00e1s;
\nAhora comprende Mio Cid el de Vivar
\nQue a menos de batalla no se podr\u00e1n de all\u00ed marchar.
\nYa caballeros, guardad aparte la ganancia,
\nAprisa pertrechaos y echad manos a las armas;
\nEl conde don Ram\u00f3n nos va presentar batalla,
\nDe moros y de cristianos trae gentes soberanas,
\nA menos batallemos no nos dejar\u00e1n por nada.
\nM\u00e1s adelante nos tratar\u00e1n de atacar, sea pues aqu\u00ed la batalla;
\nApretad los caballos y vestid las armas.
\nEllos vienen cuesta abajo y todos traen calzas
\nY las sillas bien guarnecidas y las cinchas bien forradas;
\nEn sillas gallegas cabalgaremos nos y botas sobre calzas;
\nCien caballeros debemos vencer aquellas mesnadas,
\nAntes que lleguen al llano, les presentaremos las lanzas,
\nPor uno que golpe\u00e9is, tres sillas vac\u00edas vayan.
\n\u00a1Ver\u00e1 Ram\u00f3n Berenguer tras quien a chocar armas
\nHoy en este pinar de T\u00e9var para quitarme\u00a0la ganancia!
\nTodos est\u00e1n preparados, cuando Mio Cid hubo hablado,
\nLas armas ten\u00edan en mano, montados en sus caballos,
\nVieron venir cuesta abajo las huestes de los francos,
\nEn lo hondo de la cuesta, ya cerca del llano,
\nLos mand\u00f3 atacar Mio Cid, el nacido con buen hado.
\nEsto hacen los suyos de voluntad y de agrado,
\nLos pendones y las lanzas tan bien las van empleando,
\nA los unos golpeando y a los otros derribando.
\nVencido ha esta batalla el nacido con buen hado.
\nAl conde don Rem\u00f3n a prisi\u00f3n se lo han llevado;
\nAll\u00ed ha ganado a Colada, que de plata vale m\u00e1s de mil marcos.
\nAll\u00ed venci\u00f3 esta batalla y con ella honr\u00f3 su barba.
\nPrendieron al conde, para su tierra lo llevaba,
\nA sus servidores mand\u00f3 que lo guardaran;
\nFuera de la tienda ya se retiraba.
\nDe todas partes los suyos se juntaban;
\nSe complaci\u00f3 Mio Cid de lo grande que era su gananica.
\nA Mio Cid don Rodrigo gran fest\u00edn aderezaban.<\/p>\n
\nlands of Alca\u00f1iz he is laying waste to them,
\nand all around he loots everything,
\non the third day from where he left, there he has returned.
\nNow the message goes out through all the lands,
\nit worries those of Monz\u00f3n and those of Huesca,
\nbecause they pay tribute it pleases those of Zaragoza,
\nfrom my Cid Ruy D\u00edaz they did not fear any harm.
\nWith this plunder they are returning to the camp,
\nall are happy, they bring great riches,
\nit pleased my Cid and \u00c1lvar F\u00e1\u00f1ez greatly.
\nThe worthy one smiled, for he couldn’t wait any longer,
\n-Oh knights, I will tell you the truth,
\nhe who stays in one place always, his wealth may diminish,
\nearly tomorrow let’s get ready to ride,
\nleave these dwellings and we’ll move ahead.
\nThen the Cid moved on to the port of Olocau,
\nfrom there my Cid raids Huesca and Montalb\u00e1n,
\non that raid they spent ten days.
\nThe news went out everywhere
\nthat the exile from Castile is treating them so cruelly.
\nThe news has gone out everywhere,
\nthe news arrived to the count of Barcelona,
\nthat my Cid Ruy D\u00edaz was raiding all his land,
\nhe was very upset and took it as a great offense.
\nThe count is very conceited and said a foolish thing,
\n-My Cid of Vivar has done me grievous wrongs,
\nwithin my court he did me a great grievance,
\nhe struck my nephew and he never made amends with me for it,
\nnow he is raiding the lands that are under my protection.
\nI did not challenge him nor did I declare enmity,
\nbut, when he comes to me looking for it, I will go to him for reckoning.-
\nGreat are his forces and quickly they start arriving,
\ngreat numbers of people are joining him, both Moors and Christians,
\nthey ride out after my Cid the good one from Vivar,
\nthree days and two nights they did ride,
\nthey caught up with my Cid in the pine wood of T\u00e9var,
\nhe comes with such great forces, that the count expected to take him in his hands.
\nMy Cid don Rodrigo brings great wealth,
\nhe descends a mountain and arrived at a valley.
\nFrom Count don Remont a message has arrived for him,
\nmy Cid, when he heard it, sent back that way,
\n-Tell the count not to take it so hard,
\nI take nothing of his, may he let me go in peace.-
\nReplied the count, -This will not be so,
\nthe previous and the present things, he will pay me for all of them,
\nthis exile will find out whom he has dishonored.-
\nThe messenger returned as quickly as he could,
\nat that moment my Cid of Vivar realized it,
\nthat without a battle they won’t be able to leave there.
\n-Oh knights, put the booty aside,
\nquickly suit up and put on your armor,
\nCount don Remont will give us great battle,
\nhe brings multitudes of people, Moors and Christians,
\nwithout a battle he would not let us go for anything.
\nSince later they will come after us, let the battle be here,
\ntighten up the horses and put on your armor.
\nThey are coming downhill and they are all wearing hose,
\nand their racing saddles and their cinches loose,
\nwe will ride with Galician saddles and riding boots over our hose,
\nwe with one hundred knights should defeat those forces.
\nBefore they reach the plain, let’s level our lances at them,
\nfor every one of them you strike three saddles will go empty,
\nRemont Berenguer will see who he came chasing after,
\ntoday in this pine forest of T\u00e9var to take my riches from me.
\nAll are ready when my Cid had spoken this,
\nthey had taken up their arms and were seated on their horses,
\nthey saw the Frankish force coming downhill,
\nat the bottom of the hill it is near the plain,
\nmy Cid ordered them to strike, he who was born in a fortunate hour.
\nThis his men do willingly and gladly,
\ntheir pennons and their lances they are handling them so well,
\nwounding some and unhorsing others.
\nHe who was born in a fortunate hour has won this battle,
\nCount don Remont he has taken prisoner.
\nThere he won Colada, worth more than one thousand marks of silver,
\nthere he won this battle, whereby he honored his beard.
\nHe captured the count, to his land he took him,
\nhis loyal servants he ordered to guard him.
\nOut of his tent he took a step,
\nfrom all sides his men joined him,
\nmy Cid was pleased for his winnings are great.
\nFor my Cid don Rodrigo a great feast was prepared<\/p>\n
