Sobre Baza estaba el Rey
 (Sung text for setting by J. Rodrigo)
 Matches base text
Language: Galician 
Sobre Baza estaba el Rey,
lunes, después de yantar;
miraba las ricas tiendas
que estaban en su Real;
miraba las huertas grandes
y miraba el arrabal,
miraba el adarve fuerte
que tenía en la ciudad;
miraba las torres espesas
que no las puede contar.

Un moro tras una almena
comenzóle de fablar:
vete, el Rey don Fernando,
non quedas aquí a envernar
que los fríos desta tierra
no los podrás comportar:
pan tenemos por diez años,
mil vacas para salar;
veintemil moros hay dentro
todos de armas tomar,
ochocientos de caballos
para él escaramuzar;
siete caudillos tenemos,
tan buenos como Roldán,
y juramento tienen fecho
¿antes morir que se dar!

Composition:

    Set to music by Joaquín Rodrigo Vidre (1901 - 1999), "Sobre Baza estaba el Rey", 1968 [ soprano and orchestra ], from Cantos de amor y de guerra, no. 4
