that nothing is left standing,

to remind the infidel.

Assault without ceasing

and demolish their strongholds,

to tremble when they see us,

hover banners.

They pay with their blood,

their fearful insolence

have to kiss our feet,

for such disobedience.

Know my brave warriors

to what we came here,

Cieza and destroying their fields

I just want killed or surrendered.

(...)

Party say they are,

adoring the Cross,

faith that presumes,

will break our musket.

Ejercito de Granada,

from this we were sitting,

I raise my alfarje,

to inflict suffering.

But today my "wrath of God '

Fear not, clear your mind,

because everything will happen tomorrow,

morning we crossed the bridge.
