Now to the history behind the song:
This one is very provocative, and was probably written around the 1200s, between the lowest point of the Reconquista, when the moors were defeating the Iberians in almost every battle, and its tide-changers.
The Moroccan king had threatened to “March all the way to Rome and sweep the Basilica of Saint Peter with the Sword of Muhammad“, and this kind of insulted Gavaudan, an occitanian troubador who then wrote this song as a rally cry for the faithful Catholic fiefdoms of Medieval Europe to unite at once and not let this happen.
Lyrics :
Senhors, per los nostres peccatz
creys la forsa dels Sarrazis:
Jherusalem pres Saladis
et encaras non es cobratz;
per que manda·l reys de Marroc
qu’ab totz los reys de Crestias
se combatra ab sos trefas
Andolozitz et Arabitz
contra la fe de Crist garnitz.
Totz los alcavis a mandatz:
masmutz, maurs, goitz e barbaris,
e no·y reman gras ni mesquis
que totz no·ls aya·n ajostatz:
anc pus menut ayga non ploc
cum elhs passon e prendo·ls plas;
la caraunhada dels milas
geta·ls paysser, coma berbitz,
e no·y reman brotz ni razitz.
Tant an d’erguelh selh qu’a triatz
qu’els cujo·l mons lur si’aclis;
Marroquenas, Marabetis
pauzon a mons per mieg los pratz;
mest lor gabon: «Franc, faiz nos loc!
Nostr’es Proensa e Tolzas,
entro al Puey totz lo mejas!»
Anc tan fers gaps no fon auzitz
dels falses cas, ses ley, marritz.
Emperaire, vos o aujatz,
e·l reys de Frans’e sos cozis,
e·l reys engles, coms peitavis:
qu’al rey d’Espanha secorratz!
Que anc mais negus mielhs no poc
a servir Dieu esser propdas:
ab Luy venseretz totz los cas
cuy Bafometz a escarnitz
e·ls renegatz outrasalhitz.
Jhezus Cristz, que·ns a prezicatz
per que fos bona nostra fis,
nos demostra qu’es dregz camis:
qu’ab penedens’er perdonatz
lo peccatz que d’Adam se moc.
E vol nos far ferms e certas,
si·l crezem, qu’ab los sobiras
nos metra, e sara·ns la guitz
sobre·ls fals fellos descauzitz.
Non laissem nostras heretatz,
pus qu’a la gran fe em assis,
a cas negres outramaris;
q’usquecx ne sia perpessatz
enans que·l dampnatge nos toc!
Portogals, Gallicx, Castellas,
Navars, Aragones, Serdas
lur avem en barra gequitz
qu’els an rahuzatz et aunitz.
Quan veyran los baros crozatz,
Alamans, Frances, Cambrezis,
Engles, Bretos et Angevis,
Biarns, Gascos, ab nos mesclatz,
e·ls Provensals, totz en un floc,
saber podetz qu’ab los Espas
romprem la preyss’e·l cap e·ls mas,
tro·ls ajam mortz totz e delitz;
pueys er mest nos totz l’aurs partitz.
Profeta sera·n Gavaudas
que·l digz er faitz. E mortz als cas!
E Dieus er honratz e servitz
on Bafometz era grazitz.
