Mil batallas


Has visto mil batallas
pero aquella Guerra no termina,
coleccionaste mil heridas
y todavía estás con vida.

Has caído en el camino
pero aún tienes motivos,
quien ofreció morir contigo
hoy pelea por sí mismo

Hay rondas en círculos extraños
que sólo se comprenden con el paso de los años
Ya no hay tiempo para el dolor o el lamento,
Levanta, hay que hacer un nuevo intento-

- La Guardia de Loarre

.
 "These people who are called Almogavars live for nothing more than the profession of arms. They don't live in the cities or the villages, but rather in the mountains and forests, and fight every day against the Saracens: and enter the Saracens' land for a day or two, pillaging and taking Saracens captive; and that is how they live. And they endure harsh living conditions which others could not endure. They could well spend two days without eating if necessary, eating herbs of the fields with no problem. 
.
And the adalids (leaders) who lead them know the country and roads. And they do not wear more than a tunic or shirt, be it summer or winter, and they wear leather breeches on their legs and leather sandals on their feet. And they wear a good knife and a good shoulder strap and a flint steel in their belt. And they each carry a good lance and two spears, as well as a leather shoulder bag, where they carry their food. And they are very strong and very quick, for escape and for pursuit, and they are Catalans and Aragonese and Saracens."
