Original lyrics
Delante del rey Leon salio Ximena una tarde, demandando iba justicia, por la muerte de su padre: - Justicia, seqor, justicia, si me la quisieren dare. Cada dia que amanece, veo al que mato mi padre, Me come mis palomitas, cuantas en mi palomare. Las gordas el me las come, las flacas su gavilane. El rey que esto no juzga no merecia reinare, ni comer pan a manteles, ni con la reina folgare. - Tomaremos un consejo, Ximena, si a ti te place: Que vos caseis con el Sidi, que es hombre que mucho vale. - Alegre salio Ximena de sus palacios reales. Otro dia a la maqana, las ricas bodas se armaron.
Translated lyrics
Before the king of Leon Ximena (Jimena) appeared in an afternoon and demanded justice for the death of her father. .... <i>If a complete translation is required, the request should be put in front of the "comments".</i>
Notes
This is an old ballad. Jimena appears before the King of Leon to demand justice in reparation for the death of her father at the hands of The Cid (XIth century). The kings solution is to marry Jimena to The Cid himself.
