O Rapto de Joana do Tarugo

I faced ditch wall and the irons of the gates
Only by the grace of the gentle lady
Filtering life through the grains of mortal hourglasses
From beyond the mountains I come
Through fields of justice honoring this love
Exposing myself to the bloodthirsty rage of cruel courts
I faced villains in Algouço and in Lords of Biscaia
Noble bodies of burnished weapons
I fear not cruel scorpions, executioners, your father
Reined at the castle gate
I have my swift steed and bay horse
Who in bloody battles struck a thousand unfaithful Moors
O Lady of Sarsais
My soul fears only the King of kings
Leave the alcove, come to the window
O Lady of Sarsais
Only for your love and nothing more
Descend from the tower, Naíla maiden
I come from a distant kingdom, wandering and minstrel
Even tonight I have this maiden
I pledge my sword to a purer vestal
Prepare for the journey is long
I have come prepared to take you
It is late and the waning moon is almost dying in the skies
O Lady of Sarsais
My soul fears only the King of Kings
Leave the alcove, come to the window
O Lady of Sarsais
Only for your love and nothing more
Descend from the tower, beautiful Joana
Naíla maiden, beautiful Joana
