Sadly we march along the crowded street,

While trumpets hoarsely blare and drums tempestuous beat.

For Aliatar, one sad morn,

Mounted his steed and blew his horn;

A hundred Moors behind him rode;

Fleeter than wind their coursers strode.

Toward Motril their course is made,

While foes the castle town blockade;

There Aliatar's brother lay,

Pent by the foes that fatal day.
