The Count of Raixa

[Princess:]
- My dear father, don't you know
My mother's last will?
That, as soon as I turned twelve
You had to give me a husband?
I'm already twelve and one day old;
You should start getting frantic!
 
[King:]
- I have looked all over Spain
And I can't find a husband for you!
Unless it's the Count of Raixa...
I don't know whether you'll like him?
 
[Princess:]
- My dear father, arrange a banquet
And invite him for a day!
____________________________________
 
The King arranged a banquet
And invited him for a day.
As they were there, dining,
(The king) started talking about his daughter.
 
[Count:]
- This cannot be, My Lord the King;
One cannot have two wives!
 
[King:]
- Kill your wife, the countess
And you shall marry my daughter.
If you don't kill the countess
And you don't marry my daughter,
I will send my soldiers
And your whole family will die that very day!
____________________________________
 
He left for his castle,
And found his wife sewing...
 
He told her: Oh, my unfortunate
And unhappy wife!
 
[Countess:]
- Why are you calling me "my unfortunate
And unhappy wife"?
 
[Count:]
- Because the King has ordered
That I must take your life!
 
[Comtessa:]
- Do not kill me, my dear husband!
I am your gentle companion!
Throw me into a very big well
And in this way, you shall take my life!
 
Come, my dear children, come!
Come to your darling mommy;
For your father wants to kill me
And he wants to give me an underhanded death!
____________________________________
 
As he was getting ready to strike with his sword
An angel descended from Heaven...
 
[Angel:]
- Stop at once, my lord the Count!
Stop at once, at my behest:
The king died during the night
And his daughter, by mid-day.
The king is burning in hell
With his daughter as his only company!
