Grandes sin honra—nobles without honour,

sums up and expresses in nine words the history of Goday's shameful bargain with Napoleon.

En el Puente de Alcoléa

La batalla ganó Prim,

Y por eso la cantámos

En las calles de Madrid.

At the bridge of Alcoléa

A great battle gained Prim,

And for this we go a-singing

In the streets of Madrid.
