1. Orietta, you are the gem of time
You have conquered kingdoms with resolve

2. We sought you from a distant land
God brought you near without delay

3. We exerted our determination and prudence
And accustomed the critics to blame

4. We employed our wills and efforts
And wielded swords with spears

5. To bring joy to the people of Malaga after my victory
And honor them after humiliation

6. Suckling goodness will save and nurture them
If the milk of my kindness flows

7. And I will raise them to the highest ranks
As the fruit of my hopes is reaped

8. What my tongue expresses to them
Is only a portion of what my soul desires

9. They rightly owe me gratitude
For my benevolence is not in expectation of return

10. But truths are revealing
And news often replaces seeing

11. Did I not free them from the disgrace of blasphemy
That had held them tightly in its reins

12. With the burning of their Torah their misery was prolonged
Until my resolute Yemeni rage was stirred

13. And the unsheathed swords got to work
Their decree was the magic of eloquence

14. Righteousness returned inhabited and prosperous
While wickedness demolished and in ruins

15. Their imam stood to pray
And the call to prayer rang in their ears

16. The rightly guided were either
Slain or maimed in mind among the impious

17. Since the Jews joined with their piety
The swords made permissible their wedding

18. I seek reward for my efforts against them
Whether young or helper in their misguidance

19. Martyrdom in God's cause will suffice
With paradise as its reward
