Muy crueles bozes dan – Colombina
Composer: Anonymous
Politics and political events in Catalonia are also present in the Cancionero de la Colombina, in the form of a villancico with a concordance in the Cancionero de Palacio (thanks to which we can reconstruct the complete lyrics).
Lyrics
Muy crueles bozes dan
catalanes blasfemando:
¡Fuera, fuera, duque Juan,
que es casado el Rey Fernando!
Torna, torna, Barçelona,
a tu señor natural
[Françia juega dedos val:
¡Sus, e mate por la dona!
Correos vienen, correos van
por todo’l mundo gritando:
¡Fuera, fuera, duque Juan,
que es casado el Rey Fernando/]
Very cruel cries are raised
by Catalans, blaspheming:
Out, out, Duke John,
for King Ferdinand is married!
Return, return, Barcelona,
to your natural lord.
[France is playing “dedos val”:
Up, and kill for the lady!
Couriers come, couriers go
all over the world, crying:
Out, out, Duke John,
for King Ferdinand is married!]
